Constraints on new theories using Rivet: CONTUR version 3 release note

Open access1 citations

Abstract

The CONTUR toolkit exploits RIVET and its library of more than a thousand energy-frontier differential cross-section measurements from the Large Hadron Collider to allow rapid limit-setting and consistency checks for new physics models. In this note we summarise the main changes in the new CONTUR 3 major release series. These include additional statistical treatments, efficiency improvements, new plotting utilities and many new measurements and Standard Model predictions.
