Measurements at particle collider experiments, even if primarily aimed at understanding Standard Model processes, can have a high degree of model independence, and implicitly contain information about potential contributions from physics beyond the Standard Model. The Contur package allows users to benefit from the hundreds of measurements preserved in the Rivet library to test new models against the bank of LHC measurements to date. This method has proven to be very effective in several recent publications from the Contur team, but ultimately, for this approach to be successful, the authors believe that the Contur tool needs to be accessible to the wider high energy physics community. As such, this manual accompanies the first user-facing version: Contur v2. It describes the design choices that have been made, as well as detailing pitfalls and common issues to avoid. The authors hope that with the help of this documentation, external groups will be able to run their own Contur studies, for example when proposing a new model, or pitching a new search.

An Optimal Transportation Approach for Improved Confidence Intervals
Optimal-transport couplings are used to construct confidence intervals that reduce coverage error relative to classical quantile-based intervals, with consistency theory and data-driven hyperparameters.

Deciphering compressed electroweakino excesses with MadAnalysis 5
MadAnalysis 5 v1.11 adds validated recasting of two ATLAS compressed-electroweakino searches and shows that a proposed NMSSM scenario fits the soft-lepton and monojet excesses less well than simpler models.

The Plan B Model: $Z^{\prime}$ collider phenomenology and discovery prospects
Current LHC data exclude a significant portion of the Plan B Model's preferred parameter space, and the HL-LHC could extend sensitivity to Z′ masses around 2.5 TeV.

Quark-Lepton Unification Signatures
In the minimal low-scale quark-lepton unification model, scalar leptoquarks decay mainly to third-generation quarks and leptons, and current LHC measurements exclude masses below roughly 1.0–1.15 TeV in the y2=0 benchmark.

Signals for a 2HDM with $Z'$ at the LHC
In a U(1)-extended two-Higgs-doublet model, scalar decays to a light Z' produce multilepton signals at the LHC, with discovery potential for scalar masses above 350 GeV at 3000 fb^-1.
