File size: 10.0 KB
Line 
1* Changes relative to V.1.8 -- last changes: 02/03/2010
2 - a muon/electron is not reconstructed if its track is not existing
3 - new warning when LHE files are read as input in Delphes
4 - new: b-(mis)tag algorithms
5 * pt/eta dependence for b-(mis)tagging ;
6 * now also for gluon-jets
7 * related changes in the datacard:
8 deleted parameters: BTAG_b, BTAG_mistag_c, BTAG_mistag_l
9 new parameters: BTAG_func_b, BTAG_func_c, BTAG_func_g, BTAG_func_l
10 - new: Isolation: SumEt & SumPt added for muons & electrons
11 NB 'SumPt' was before 'IsolPt' in muon collection only
12 - datacard: change of several variable names!!!
13 old name -> new name
14 ISOL_PT -> ISOL_trk_PT
15 ISOL_Cone -> ISOL_trk_Cone
16 ISOL_Calo_Cone -> ISOL_calo_Cone
17 ISOL_Calo_ET -> ISOL_calo_ET
18 ISOL_Calo_Grid -> ISOL_calo_Grid
19 - new: Vx, Vy, Vz: real vertex location for tracks
20 - bug fix: EtRatio for muons, now similar to LHCO standards
21 - new: ./configure for the installation
22 - update: default jet algorithms have change in data cards
23 - update: adding some missing "#include" statements due to a loss of
24 permissivity in recent g++ compilers.
25 - update: by default, both 1-prong and 3-prong tau jets are stored.
26 It was only 1-prong before.
27 - bug fix: bad distribution in associated number of tracks in jets
28 - vertex coordinates available in the track collection (Vx, Vy, Vz)
29 - track reconstruction efficiencies can now be floating numbers
30 - minor addition in the $(SHARED) target rule of the Makefile
31 - bug fix: the charge of the electrons in the Analysis. Electron collection
32 was the opposite of what it should have been
33 - bug fix: idem for muons in Analysis.Muon
34 - bug fix: adding some #include statements in classes in src/*, for compatibility
35 with recent versions of g++, which are less permissive than in the past

38| 16 August 2009: release Version1.8 |
39 \-----------------------------------------/
40* Changes relative to V.1.7b
41 - LHE files were not processed correctly (empty Analysis/Trigger trees).
42 Now LHEFParticle derives from TRootC::GenParticle as it should.
43 - additional data in the logfile : run date/hour + all names of used input files
44 (input event files, detector card, trigger card, beam files, particle table)
45 - bug fix: it is now possible to read "delphes root files" as an input for Delphes (GEN tree)
46 - bug fix: number of events to process is correct event if multiple files in the inputlist
47 - updates in Resolution.cpp & Resolution_ATLAS.cpp
48 - new method "invisible()" in PdgParticle, needed for invisible particles BSM
49 - new : calorimeter endcaps. DetectorCard have been updated; however, 100% backward compatible
50 - bug fix: btag was not properly working for (mis)tag efficiencies below 1%.
51 - bug fix: misplaced "#" character in the DetectorCard for ATLAS (calorimeter resolution).
52 - moving to ROOT::TRandom3 for random numbers

102
103 * Changes relative to V.1.4beta:
104 - implementation of the energy flow
105 - calotowers are first merged then smeared
106 - photons are based on these calotowers: conservative approach
107 - electrons are separately smeared according to the calotower
108 resolution.
109 - new: list of calorimeters ; CaloUtil added
110 - new: constants moved from SmearUtil.* to D_Constants.*
111 - new: GenParticle class
112 - ParticleUtil changed into D_Particle
113 - tracks and Taujets have now a charge
114 - output available as a LHCO (text) data file, in option

122
123
124 /-----------------------------------------\
125| 09 February 2009: release Version1.4beta |
126 \-----------------------------------------/
127
128 * Changes relative to V.1.3beta:
129 - new overal header and program output to screen.
130 - new trigger cards ATLAS and CMS-like
131 - new detector card ATLAS oriented
132 - New input parameters in the datacard for very forward detectors
133 - Modification of the Resolution.cpp code to run on the output of Delphes directly
134 - #include statements have been cleaned ; more include paths
135 in the compilation, leading to easier #include statements.
136 - extensive use of 'valgrind' for the search for memory leaks.
137 No more explicit leak is in the code. The only leaks left are
138 related to ROOT, to mcfio dependecy and to Hector.
139 This implied the systematic addition of copy-constructor,
140 operator= and correct destructors in Delphes classes
141 - update of the BField simulation; still in the case of B = Bz only
142 - JetsUtil* files renamed to JetsUtil*
143 * Private modifications in dependencies
144 - memory leaks removed in FROG (applied on Frog v1.106)
145 - systematic change of by-value parameters to "by-const-reference"
146 in Hector (applied on Hector v1.3.1)
