Reinterpretation of LHC searches: Constraining the Minimal Dirac Gaugino Model.

The ATLAS and CMS collaborations have put forward an extensive program 
of searches for new physics, aiming to cover new physics theories as 
widely as possible. The results of this searches are typically 
interpreted in the context of popular models or simplified model 
topologies. However, there exist a plethora of beyond vanilla BSM 
theories and scenarios that are not directly covered by the 
experimental analyses. This has lead to the emergence of a joint 
effort between experimenters and theorists to build a framework for 
the reinterpretation of LHC results. The first part of this talk will 
serve as an introduction to this very active framework.

On the second part, by means of LHC reinterpretation, we explore the 
collider phenomenology of an interesting beyond vanilla theory: The 
Minimal Dirac Gaugino Supersymmetric Standard Model (MDGSSM).  By 
introducing Dirac gauginos (instead of Majorana), we obtain an 
enriched phenomenology and distinctive LHC results are expected. 
Concretely, the electroweakino sector of the MDGSSM is characterised 
by an enriched spectra of neutralinos and charginos exhibiting 
naturally small mass splittings and thus, yielding a frequent presence 
of scenarios with Long Lived Particles (LLPs). Moreover, in the 
coloured sector, production cross sections are enhanced for gluinos, 
while for squarks, they are suppressed. Here, we shall derive current 
LHC limits on the aforementioned sectors of the MDGSSM, while also 
including bounds from dark matter observations.
