The ZPEED code calculates likelihoods and various test statistics for general Z' models.
When using ZPEED, please cite F. Kahlhoefer, A. Mück, S. Schulte and P. Tunney, "Interference effects in dilepton resonance searches for Z' bosons and dark matter mediators", 2019, arXiv:1912.06374.
ZPEED is written in python and works with both python2.7 and python3.5. It furthermore requires numpy and scipy.
To run the code, simply do
python RunMe.py
