How To: Look up the upper limit of a particular result, for a particular set of masses

# Set up the path to SModelS installation folder
import sys; sys.path.append("."); import smodels_paths

# Import those parts of smodels that are needed for this exercise
from smodels.tools.physicsUnits import GeV
from smodels.experiment.databaseObj import Database

## Load the official database
db = Database( "official" )

Look up upper limit for an Upper Limit-type result:

# Select desired result:
resultID = ["CMS-PAS-SUS-13-016"]
txname = ["T1tttt"]
expResult = db.getExpResults(analysisIDs=resultID,txnames=txname)[0]
print ('selected result:',expResult)

selected result: CMS-PAS-SUS-13-016:(0):T1tttt(1)

# Define the desired mass vector (must be consistent with the txname/simplified model):
masses = [[500*GeV, 150*GeV],[500*GeV, 150*GeV]]
print ('UL for mass\n',masses,' is: ',expResult.getUpperLimitFor(mass=masses,txname="T1tttt"))

UL for mass
 [[5.00E+02 [GeV], 1.50E+02 [GeV]], [5.00E+02 [GeV], 1.50E+02 [GeV]]]  is:  3.67E+02 [fb]

Look up upper limit for an Efficiency Map-type result:

# Select desired result:
resultID = ["CMS-PAS-SUS-13-016"]
txname = ["T1tttt"]
expResult = db.getExpResults(analysisIDs=resultID,txnames=txname,dataTypes='efficiencyMap')[0]
print ('selected result:',expResult)

selected result: CMS-PAS-SUS-13-016: sr0(1):T1tttt(1)

# For an efficiency map result one only needs to specify the desired signal region (dataset)
datasetID = 'sr0'
print ('UL for dataset',datasetID,' is: ',expResult.getUpperLimitFor(dataID=datasetID))

UL for dataset sr0  is:  2.11E-01 [fb]
