Description
SModelS is a public tool for the fast reinterpretation of LHC searches for new physics on the basis of (mostly SUSY) simplified-model results. The latest version is v2.3, released in May 2023. In this talk, I will present some major novelties of the SModelS v2 series, in particular the database update with a large number of full-luminosity Run2 results, the treatment of signatures with long-lived particles (simultaneously with prompt signatures), the statistical evaluation using different backends (from simplified likelihoods to full Histfactory models), and the ability of combining likelihoods in global analyses. Moreover, I will discuss subtleties that are important for the optimal usage of the tool, and demonstrate the physics capabilities by means of a case study.
