Feebly interacting particles (FIPs) in the MeV to GeV range can be studied from a large variety of past, current and future experiments. While the number of phenomenological and experimental studies on FIPs has dramatically increased in recent years, the available choice of tools has remained limited. We will briefly review existing tools and present some of the current challenges, focusing mainly on so-called beam dump experiments. We present in particular the recasting code “DarkEFT” along with a database of relevant standard model data for FIPs production in proton beam dump experiments.
