Marmoset is a strategy and a set of tools for characterizing and
fitting physics beyond the Standard Model in a model-independent
scheme. We introduce the idea of On-Shell Effective Theories
(OSETs), which provide a flexible framework in which to describe new
physics in terms of just the masses, production modes, and decay
modes of candidate new particles. OSETs are well-suited for Monte Carlo-based
analysis and interpretation of new physics at the LHC and TeVatron.

====== Instructions ======

**Caveat Emptor!** MARMOSET is still (very much) under development, documentation is ongoing, and features may break from time to time.  If you are surprised by its behavior or find a bug, please [[schuster@slac.stanford.edu, jthaler@jthaler.net, ntoro@stanford.edu, lianwang@princeton.edu|inform the authors]] and/or report it on the wiki support pages [[MARMOSET#Support]].
