ABSTRACT: The LHC provides us with new possibilities to test physics at the TeV scale and look for signs of new physics beyond the Standard Model. If supersymmetry at the TeV scale is realised in nature, LHC will be able to find many new particles and measure cross sections and branching ratios which differ significantly from Standard Model expectations. Then the question will arise: "What is the value of the fundamental parameters in the MSSM Lagrangian?" ĦĦSFitter is a tool to answer this question. It allows us to study high-dimensional parameter spaces like the TeV-scale MSSM at the LHC using both Bayesian and Frequentist methods. These will generally include strong correlations and degeneracies. Using the experimentally well-studied point SPS1a as an example, we show how the parameters can be reconstructed.
