NMSSMScanner: Efficient Scans in the NMSSM Parameter Space Proof of Concept

Abstract

We present the first version of the new scanning tool NMSSMScanner that allows to perform efficient scans in the complex multi-parameter space of the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (NMSSM) while taking into account all relevant constraints. As a proof of concept we apply it to the search for NMSSM parameter configurations that maximize Higgs boson pair production from resonant scalar or pseudoscalar production in various final states.
