Abstract
We describe ColliderBit, a new code for the calculation
of high energy collider observables in theories of
physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM). ColliderBit features
a generic interface to BSM models, a unique parallelised
Monte Carlo event generation scheme suitable for large-scale
supercomputer applications, and a number of LHC analyses,
covering a reasonable range of the BSM signatures currently
sought by ATLAS and CMS. ColliderBit also calculates likelihoods
for Higgs sector observables, and LEP searches for
BSM particles. These features are provided by a combination
of new code unique to ColliderBit, and interfaces to existing
state-of-the-art public codes. ColliderBit is both an important
part of the GAMBIT framework for BSM inference, and
a standalone tool for efficiently applying collider constraints
to theories of new physics.
