SLAM, a Mathematica interface for SUSY spectrum generators

TL;DR

This paper introduces a Mathematica package that simplifies the process of obtaining and managing MSSM parameters from SUSY spectrum generators, enhancing computational efficiency and user convenience.

Contribution

It provides an easy-to-use interface for MSSM parameter evaluation, supporting predefined scenarios, direct input, and database management, which was not previously available.

Findings

Enables automatic retrieval of MSSM parameters from spectrum generators.

Supports predefined high and low scale scenarios like mSUGRA.

Allows saving/loading spectra to/from a SQL database to avoid reruns.

Abstract

We present and publish a Mathematica package, which can be used to automatically obtain any numerical MSSM input parameter from SUSY spectrum generators, which follow the SLHA standard, like Spheno, Softsusy, Suseflav or Suspect. The package enables a very comfortable way of numerical evaluations within the MSSM using Mathematica. It implements easy to use predefined high scale and low scale scenarios like mSUGRA or $m_h^{\rm max}$ and if needed enables the user to directly specify the input required by the spectrum generators. In addition it supports an automatic saving and loading of SUSY spectra to and from a SQL data base, avoiding the rerun of a spectrum generator for a known spectrum.
