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.
