ATLAS analyses preservation project (RECAST) and reinterpretation of specific SUSY searches for variable RPV-coupling strength. — •Simone Curcio, F. Cardillo, V. Magerl, Z. Rurikova, and P. Tornambè — Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg

Over the past several decades, many extensions and alterations to the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics have been proposed. These take the form of concrete modifications or extensions to the known particle spectrum and interactions. Searches for new physics are often sensitive to a larger class of models than they were originally designed to test. Reusing the estimates of the background and systematic uncertainties of the original search, one can “recast” the results of an existing analysis and set limits on new models. RECAST is a framework developed at CERN to facilitate the reinterpretation of new signal models.
Among all the searches for BSM physics a lot of analyses were designed to search for SUperSYmmetric partners of the SM particles, assuming either R-Parity conservation (RPC), generating a stable Lightest Supersymmetric Particle (LSP) or R-parity violation (RPV). The transition between these two scenarios can be realised by varying the strength of the RPV couplings. In this talk the results of the search for strongly-produced superpartners in final states with 2 same-sign or three leptons and jets (SS3L) are presented for signals with variable RPV-coupling.
