New version with extension to general SMS topologies using graphs

  • Large code refactoring
  • Added option for selecting which quantum numbers to be ignored in prompt results (see the ignorePromptQNumbers option in parameters.ini)
  • Added outputFormat option to parameters.ini for switching back to v2 output format (old bracket notation); default is v3 output format (string representation of SMS)
  • Output for EM-type results now reports negative log likelihoods, instead of likelihoods
  • Changes in missing topologies (coverage): the grouping of topologies is now done only by final states and ignores the topology structure
  • jsonFiles entries in the database now allow to specify also pyhf region names and region types (signal or control region)
  • Enabled EMs for control regions to emulate signal leakage to control regions
  • See ReleaseNotes for additional changes

Note that SModelS v3 should be used with database versions v3.0.0 or later

Changes:

  • added resummino cross section computer
  • fixed bug in computation of error on muhat, for pyhf likelihoods
    (affects mostly the numpy backend)
  • small change in initialisation of gradient descent method for computation of
    combined mu_hat, to increate robustness of method

SModelS version 2.3.0

Changes:

  • fixed bug for an LHE input only with anti-particles
