Designing and recasting LHC analyses with MadAnalysis 5
read the original abstract
We present an extension of the expert mode of the MadAnalysis 5 program dedicated to the design or reinterpretation of high-energy physics collider analyses. We detail the predefined classes, functions and methods available to the user and emphasize the most recent developments. The latter include the possible definition of multiple sub-analyses and a novel user-friendly treatment for the selection criteria. We illustrate this approach by two concrete examples: a CMS search for supersymmetric partners of the top quark and a phenomenological analysis targeting hadronically decaying monotop systems.

Confronting Vector-Like Quark Models with LHC Searches
VLQBounds is a modular Python tool that compares VLQ parameter points to LHC pair and single production limits via grid interpolation and returns 95% CL exclusion verdicts.

Composite top partners in exotic colour representations
Colour-sextet top partners in composite Higgs models are excluded up to 2-2.5 TeV by current LHC data via top-rich decays, with HL-LHC reach near 3 TeV.

The Muonic Portal to Vector Dark Matter:connecting precision muon physics, cosmology, and colliders
A new model with SU(2)_D symmetry and vector-like muons mediates vector dark matter, simultaneously addressing relic abundance and muon g-2 while identifying an off-resonance suppression mechanism for light DM and der...

New insights into the $b\rightarrow c \bar{u}q$ puzzle through Top-Bottom synergies
Anomalies in b to c u-bar q transitions remain puzzling as proposed new physics scenarios involving SU(2) doublets are not significantly relaxed by collider dilution or factorization breakdown.

Deciphering compressed electroweakino excesses with MadAnalysis 5
MadAnalysis 5 v1.11 adds efficiency-table handling, reference-frame observables, and statistical tools, then applies them to two ATLAS Run-2 analyses of compressed electroweakino signatures inside the NMSSM.

Deep Neural Networks for Heavy Lepton-Flavor-Violating Higgs Searches at the LHC
DNN classifiers with mass-dependent thresholds reduce expected 95% CL upper limits on H to mu tau cross sections by 36-46% versus collinear mass baseline, while a regression network improves mass resolution by up to 21%.

Phenomenology of electroweak spin-1 resonances
Composite Higgs models with SU(2)_L × SU(2)_R predict spin-1 resonances mixing with electroweak bosons that remain viable at the LHC down to masses of about 1.5 TeV.

Probing Flavor-Violating Higgs Decays in the Type-III Two-Higgs-Doublet Model at the LHC and HL-LHC
In the Type-III 2HDM, neutral and heavy charged flavor-violating Higgs decays can exceed 5 sigma significance at 300 fb^{-1} luminosity while the light charged mode is more background-limited.
