Program Package SUSY-HIT - SU(spect)-S(deca)Y-H(decay)-I(n)Terface

A program package for the calculation of the particle spectrum and the decay widths and branching ratios of the Higgs bosons and supersymmetric particles in the framework of the MSSM, including higher order corrections.

Attention!!! New SUSY-HIT Version 1.3 released Dec 29 2008


Package released by: Abdelhak Djouadi, Margarete Mühlleitner and Michael Spira
Present version: 1.3 released on Dec 29, 2008.
hep-ph/0609292 : is the official reference to be used for the program package.

The program package SUSY-HIT has been created to provide a consistent and self-contained tool for the calculation of the MSSM Higgs boson and SUSY particle decays including higher order corrections. The decays are calculated by the Fortran codes HDECAY and SDECAY. For the calculation of the particle spectrum, they have been linked by default to the renormalization group evolution program SuSpect. This can, however, easily be replaced by any other spectrum calculator using the SUSY Les Houches Accord (SLHA) format. For completeness, at the end of this web page the url addresses of the original programs are given as well as the authors. You will find there more details on the three subprograms. Remark, however, that the original programs have been slightly modified for the use within SUSY-HIT.

Information on SUSY-HIT:
  • The complete "users manual" can be obtained here.
  • To be advised about future updates or important modifs/bug corrections, send an E-mail.
  • Changes in the various programs with respect to their original version. Modifs/corrected bugs will be indicated here as well in this file.
  • Frequently asked question and their answers can be found in this file.
Downloading the files needed for SUSY-HIT:
  • susyhit.tar.gz contains the program package files: the input file susyhit.in; sdecay.f (ver 1.3b), hdecay.f (ver 3.4), hgaga.f and susylha.f for the decays; suspect2_lha.in, suspect2.f (ver 2.41), twoloophiggs.f, bsg.f for the spectrum; a makefile for the compilation. Also included is a sample file slhaspectrum.in with the spectrum and parameters in the SLHA format, in case the user chooses not to link SuSpect. (last modif: Dec 29, 2008)
Example for an output file:
The input files susyhit.in and suspect2_lha.in (snowmass point SPS1a) provide the output file susyhit_slha.out a la susyhit_slha.out Les Houches Accord. (last modif: Dec 29, 2008).
