Predicting SUSY Particle Event Count at Future Colliders

One of the leading proposals for an expansion of the Standard Model (SM) is Supersymmetry (SUSY). In order to discover such particles as proposed by SUSY, it is necessary to consider a particle collider that operates at a higher parton level center of mass energy than the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).  This research entails the development of a lightweight code package that can estimate the amount of particle events expected in a year given a particular beam configuration. For a particular process, it calculates the cross section for a range of potential masses of that particle. Multiplying by the luminosity for a given beam configuration gives the total events expected. The current processes investigated by this project are for the SUSY Chargino, SUSY Heavy Scalar, and the SM Higgs.
