48Knowing whether theoretical predictions are visible and measurable in a high energy experiment is always delicate, due to the
49complexity of the related detectors, data acquisition chain and software. We introduce here a new framework, \textsc{Delphes}, for fast simulation of
50a general purpose experiment. The simulation includes a tracking system, embedded into a magnetic field, calorimetry and a muon
51system, and possible very forward detectors arranged along the beamline.
52The framework is interfaced to standard file formats (e.g. Les Houches Event File) and outputs observable analysis data objects, like missing transverse energy and collections of electrons or jets.
53The simulation of detector response takes into account the detector resolution, and usual reconstruction algorithms for complex objects, like \textsc{FastJet}. A simplified preselection can also be applied on processed data for trigger emulation. Detection of very forward scattered particles relies on the transport in beamlines with the \textsc{Hector} software. Finally, the \textsc{Frog} 2D/3D event display is used for visualisation of the collision final states.
54An overview of \textsc{Delphes} is given as well as a few use-cases for illustration.

69Experiments at high energy colliders are very complex systems, in several ways. First, in terms of the various detector subsystems, including tracking, central calorimetry, forward calorimetry, and muon chambers. These detectors differ with their principles, technologies, geometries and sensitivities. Then, due to the requirement of a highly effective online selection (i.e. a \textit{trigger}), subdivided into several levels for an optimal reduction factor, but based only on partially processed data. Finally, in terms of the experiment software, with different data formats (like \textit{raw} or \textit{reconstructed} data), many reconstruction algorithms and particle identification schemes.
70
71This complexity is handled by large collaborations of thousands of people, which restrict the availability of the data, software and documentation to their members. Real data analyses require a full detector simulation, including the various detector inefficiencies, the dead material, the imperfections and the geometrical details. Moreover, detector calibration and alignment are crucial. Such simulation is very complicated, technical and slow. On the other hand, phenomenological studies, looking for the observability of given signals, may require only fast but realistic estimates of the observables.
72
73A new framework, called \textsc{Delphes}~\cite{bib:Delphes}, is introduced here, for the fast simulation of a general purpose collider experiment.
74Using the framework, observables can be estimated for specific signal and background channels, as well as their production and measurement rates, under a set of assumptions.
75Starting from the output of event generators, the simulation of the detector response takes into account the subdetector resolutions, by smearing the kinematical properties of the visible final particles. Tracks of charged particles and calorimetric towers are then created.
76
77\textsc{Delphes} includes the most crucial experimental features, like (1) the geometry of both central or forward detectors; (2) lepton isolation; (3) reconstruction of photons, leptons, jets, $b$-jets, $\tau$-jets and missing transverse energy; (4) trigger emulation and (5) an event display (Fig.~\ref{fig:FlowChart}).

83The kinematical variables of the final state particles are then smeared according to the subdetector resolutions.
84Tracks are reconstructed in a simulated dipolar magnetic field and calorimetric towers sample the energy deposits. Based on these, dedicated algorithms are applied for particle identification, isolation and reconstruction.
85The transport of very forward particle to the near-beam detectors is also simulated.
86Finally, an output file is written, including generator level and analysis object data. If requested, a fully parametrisable trigger can be emulated. Optionnally, the geometry and visualisation files for the 3D event display can also be produced.
87All user parameters are set in the \textit{Smearing Card} and the \textit{Trigger Card}. }

92Although this kind of approach yields much realistic results than a simple ``parton-level" analysis, a fast simulation comes with some limitations. Detector geometry is idealised, being uniform, symmetric around the beam axis, and having no cracks nor dead material. Secondary interactions, multiple scatterings, photon conversion and bremsstrahlung are also neglected.
93
94%The simulation package proceeds in two stages. The first part is executed on the generated events. ``Particle-level" informations are read from input files and stored in a {\it \textsc{gen}} \textsc{root} tree.
95
96Three formats of input files can currently be used as input in \textsc{Delphes}\footnote{The corresponding code can be found in the \texttt{HEPEVTConverter}, \texttt{LHEFConverter } and \texttt{STDHEPConverter} classes.}. In order to process events from many different generators, the standard Monte Carlo event structure \mbox{\textsc{s}td\textsc{hep}} can be used as an input. Besides, \textsc{Delphes} can also provide detector response for events read in ``Les Houches Event Format'' (\textsc{lhef}) and \textsc{root} files obtained using the \textbf{h2root} utility from the \textsc{root} framework~\cite{bib:root}.
97%Afterwards, \textsc{Delphes} performs a simple trigger simulation and reconstruct "high-level objects". These informations are organised in classes and each objects are ordered with respect to the transverse momentum.
98
99The output of \textsc{Delphes} contains a copy of the generator level data (\textsc{gen} tree), the analysis data objects after reconstruction (\mbox{\textsc{A}nalysis} tree), and possibly the results of the trigger emulation (\mbox{\textsc{T}rigger} tree). The program is driven by input cards. The detector card (\texttt{data/DataCardDet.dat}) allows a large spectrum of running conditions by modifying basic detector parameters, including calorimeter and tracking coverage and resolution, thresholds or jet algorithm parameters. The trigger card (\texttt{data/trigger.dat}) lists the user algorithms for the simplified online preselection.\\

133The overall layout of the general purpose detector simulated by \textsc{Delphes} is shown in figure \ref{fig:GenDet}. A central tracking system is surrounded by an electromagnetic and a hadron calorimeters (\textsc{ecal} and \textsc{hcal}, resp.). A forward calorimeter ensures a larger geometric coverage for the measurement of the missing transverse energy. The fast simulation of the detector response takes into account geometrical acceptance of sub-detectors and their finite resolution, as defined in the smearing data card\footnote{See the \texttt{RESOLution} class.}.
134If no such file is provided, predifined values are used. The coverage of the various subsystems used in the default configuration are summarized in table \ref{tab:defEta}.

152\subsection{Simulation of calorimeters response}
153
154The energy of all particle considered as stable in the generator particle list are smeared according to a resolution depending which sub-calorimeter is assumed to be used for the energy measurement. For particles with a short lifetime such as the $K_s$, the fraction of electromagnetic or hadronic energy is determined according to its decay products. The response of the each sub-calorimeter is parametrized as a function of the energy
155\begin{equation}
156\frac{\sigma}{E} = \frac{S}{\sqrt{E}} \oplus \frac{N}{E} \oplus C,
157\end{equation}
158where $S$ is the stochastic term, $N$ the noise and $C$ the constant term.\\
159
160
161The 4-momentum $p^\mu$ are smeared with a parametrisation directly derived from the detector techinal designs\footnote{The response of the detector is applied to the electromagnetic and the hadronic particles through the \texttt{SmearElectron} and \texttt{SmearHadron} functions.}.
162In the default parametrisation, the calorimeter is assumed to cover the pseudorapidity range $|\eta|<3$ and consists in an electromagnetic and an hadronic part. Coverage between pseudorapidities of $3.0$ and $5.0$ is provided by a forward calorimeter. The response of this calorimeter can be different for electrons and hadrons. The default values of the stochastic, noisy and constant terms are given in table \ref{tab:defResol}.\\

190\end{table}
191
192The energy of electron and photon particles found in the particle list are smeared using the \textsc{ecal} resolution terms. Charged and neutral final state hadrons interact with the \textsc{ecal}, \textsc{hcal} and the forward calorimeter. Some long-living particles, such as the $K_s$, possessing lifetime $c\tau$ smaller than 10~mma are considering as stable particles although they decay in the calorimeters. The energy smearing of such particles is performed using the expected fraction of the energy, determined according to their decay products, that whould be deposited into the \textsc{ecal} ($E_{ecal}$) and into the \textsc{hcal} ($E_{hcal}$). Defining $F$ as the fraction of the energy leading to a \textsc{hcal} deposit, the two energy values are given by
193\begin{equation}
194E_{hcal} = E \times F ~\mathrm{and}~ E_{ecal} = E \times (1-F),
195\end{equation}
196where $0 \leq F \leq 1$. The electromagnetic part is handled as the electrons, while the resolution terms used for the hadronic part are {\verb HAD_Shcal }, {\verb HAD_Nhcal } and {\verb HAD_Chcal }. The resulting final energy given after the application of the smearing is then $E = E_{hcal} + E_{ecal}$.\\
197
198\subsection{Calorimetric towers}
199
200All undecayed particles, except muons and neutrinos are producing a calorimetric tower.
201A calorimetric tower are just the smallest unit in $\eta \times \phi$ for the segmentation of the energy measurement. As the detector is assumed to be symmetric in $\phi$ and with respect to the $(x,y)$ plane, the smearing card stores the number of calorimetric towers with $\phi=0$ and $\eta>0$ (default: $40$ towers). For a given $\eta$, the size of the $\phi$ segmentation is also specified.
202The calorimeters are then segmented into towers, that directly enter in the calculation of the missing transverse energy.
203No longitudinal segmentation is available in the simulated calorimeters.
204
205
206\subsection{Muon smearing}
207
208Muons candidates are searched
209The smearing ot the muon 4-momentum $p^\mu$ is given by a Gaussian smearing of the $p_T$ function \texttt{SmearMuon}. Only the $p_T$ is smeared, but neither $\eta$ nor $\phi$. Multiple scattering is thus neglected, while low energy muons have a worst resolution in a real detector.
210
211\subsection{Tracks reconstruction}
212Every stable charged particle with a transverse momentum above some threshold and lying inside the fiducial volume of the tracker provides a track. The reconstructio efficiency is defined in the smearing datacard by the {\verb TRACKING_EFF } term. By default, a track is assumed to be reconstructed with $90\%$ probability if its transverse momentum $p_T$ is higher than $0.9~\textrm{GeV}$ and if its pseudorapidity $|\eta| \leq 2.5$.
213
214
215\subsection{Isolated lepton reconstruction}
216
217Photon and electron candidates are reconstructed if they fall into the acceptance of the tracking system and have a transverse momentum above the {\verb ELEC_pt } value ($10~\textrm{GeV}$ by default).
218%Muons candidates are searched
219Lepton isolation demands that there is no other charged particles with $p_T>2$~GeV within a cone of $\Delta R<0.5$ around the lepton.\\
220
221\subsection{Very forward detectors simulation}
222
223Some subdetectors have the ability to measure the time of flight of the particle. This correspond to the delay after which the particle is observed in the detector, after the bunch crossing. The time of flight measurement of \textsc{zdc} and \textsc{fp420} detector is implemented here. For the \textsc{zdc}, the formula is simply
224\begin{equation}
225 t_2 = t_1 + \frac{1}{v} \times \big( \frac{s-z}{\cos \theta}\big),
226\end{equation}
227where $t_2$ is the time of flight, $t_1$ is the true time coordinate of the vertex from which the particle originates, $v$ the particle velocity, $s$ is the \textsc{zdc} distance to the interaction point, $z$ is the longitudinal coordinate of the vertex from which the particle comes from, $\theta$ is the particle emission angle. This assumes that the neutral particle observed in the \textsc{zdc} is highly relativistic, i.e. travelling at the speed of light $c$. We also assume that $\cos \theta = 1$, i.e. $\theta \approx 0$ or equivalently $\eta$ is large. As an example, $\eta = 5$ leads to $\theta = 0.013$ and $1 - \cos \theta < 10^{-4}$.
228The formula then reduces to
229\begin{equation}
230 t_2 = \frac{1}{c} \times (s-z)
231\end{equation}
232Only neutrons and photons are currently assumed to be able to reach the \textsc{zdc}. All other particles are neglected
233To fix the ideas, if the \textsc{zdc} is located at $s=140~\textrm{m}$, neglecting $z$ and $\theta$, and assuming that $v=c$, one gets $t=0.47~\mu\textrm{s}$.
234
235\section{High-level object reconstruction}
236
237Hadronising final state particles or invisible ones are more difficult to measure. For instance, light jets or jets originating from $b$ quarks or $\tau$ leptons require dedicated algorithms for their measurement.
238The \textsc{FastJet} tools have been integrated into the \textsc{Delphes} framework for a fast jet reconstruction, using several algorithms, like Cone or $k_T$ ones.
239
240\textcolor{red}{More on jet algorithms?}
241
242\subsection{Jet reconstruction}
243
244By default, jets are reconstructed using a cone algorithm with $R=0.7$ and use the calorimetric towers. The reconstructed jets are required to have a transverse momentum above $20~\textrm{GeV}$ and $|\eta|<3.0$.
245
246\subsection{$b$-tagging}
247
248A jet is tagged as $b$-jets if its direction lies in the acceptance of the tracker and if it is associated to a parent $b$-quark. A $b$-tagging efficiency of $40\%$ is assumed if the jet has a parent $b$ quark. For $c$-jets and light/gluon jets, a fake $b$-tagging efficiency of $10 \%$ and $1 \%$ respectively is assumed\footnote{Corresponding tot the TAGGING\_B, MISTAGGING\_C and MISTAGGING\_L constants, for (respectively) the efficiency of tagging of a $b$-jet, the efficiency of mistagging a c-jet as a $b$-jet, and the efficiency of mistatting a light jet (u,d,s,g) as a $b$-jet.}. The (mis)tagging relies on the particle ID of the most energetic particle within a cone around the observed (eta,phi) region, with a radius CONERADIUS.
249
250\subsection{Tau identification}
251
252\begin{wrapfigure}{l}{0.3\columnwidth}
253\includegraphics[width=0.3\columnwidth]{Tau}
254\caption{Illustration of the identification of $\tau$ jets.}
255\label{h_WW_ss_cut1}
256\end{wrapfigure}
257
258Jets originating from $\tau$-decay are identified using an identification procedure consistent with the one applied in a full detector simulation. The tagging rely on two properties of the $\tau$ lepton. First, in roughly $75 \%$ of the time, the hadronic $\tau$-decay products contain only one charged hadron and a number of $\pi^0$. Second, the particles arisen from the $\tau$-lepton produce narrow jets in the calorimeter.
259
260\subsubsection*{Electromagnetic collimation}
261
262To use the narrowness of the $\tau$-jet, the \textit{electromagnetic collimation} ($C_{\tau}^{em}$) is defined as the sum of the energy in a cone with $\Delta R = ${\verb TAU_energy_scone } around the jet axis divided by the energy of the reconstructed jet. The energy in the small cone is calculated using the towers objects. To be taken into account a calorimeter tower should have a transverse energy above a given threshold {\verb JET_M_seed }. A large fraction of the jet energy, denominated here with {\verb TAU_energy_frac } is expected in this small cone. The quantity is represented in figure \ref{fig:tau1} for the default values (see table \ref{tab:tauRef}).

280\end{figure}
281
282The tracking isolation for the $\tau$ identification requires that the number of tracks associated to a particle with $p_T >$ {\verb TAU_track_pt } is one and only one in a cone with $\Delta R =$ {\verb TAU_track_scone }. This cone should be entirely included in the tracker to be taken into account. This procedure selects taus decaying hadronically with a typical efficiency of $60\%$. Moreover, the minimal $p_T$ of the $\tau$-jet is required to be {\verb TAUJET_pt } (default value: $10~\textrm{GeV}$).\\

299\subsection{Transverse missing energy}
300In an ideal detector, the transverse missing energy is simply computed as the missing term which would balance the transverse momentum in the observed event. Its value is then computed as the opposite of the sum of the momentum of all observed particles. In a real experiment, any problem affecting the detector (dead channels, misalignment, noisy towers, cracks) is directly worsening the measured missing transverse energy. In this document, the missing transverse energy (\textcolor{red}{symbol???}) is based on the calorimetric towers and only muons and neutrinos are not taken into account for its evaluation.

302\section{Trigger emulation}
303
304New physics in collider experiment are often characterised by the phenomenology by low cross-section values. High statistics are required for their studies, which in turn imposes high luminosity collisions.
305
306On the other hand, due to the very high collision rate in recent collider ($40~\textrm{MHz}$ at the \textsc{lhc}) and the large total cross-section ($\mathcal{O}(110~\textrm{mb})$ at the \textsc{lhc}), the need for an online event selection is crucial in order to reject most of the event and keep

310\section{Visualisation}
311
312
313As an illustration, an associated photoproduction of a $W$ boson and a $t$ quark is shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:wt}. This corresponds to a $pp \rightarrow Wt \ + \ p \ + \ X$ process, where the $Wt$ couple is induced by an incoming photon emitted by one interacting proton. This leading proton survives from the photon emission and subsequently from the $pp$ interaction, and is present in the final state. The experimental signature is a lack of hadronic activity in one forward hemisphere, where the surviving proton escapes. The $t$ quark decays into a $W$ and a $b$. Both $W$ bosons decay into leptons ($W \rightarrow \mu \nu_\mu$ and $W \rightarrow \tau \nu_\tau$).

333The available code is a tar file which comes with everything you need to run the \textsc{Delphes} package. Nevertheless in order to visualise the events with the \textsc{Frog} program, you need to install libraries as explained in {\it href="http://projects.hepforge.org/frog/}
334
335\subsection{Getting started}
336
337In order to run \textsc{Delphes} on your system, first download is sources and compile it:\\
338\begin{quote}
339\begin{verbatim}
340me@mylaptop:~$ wget http://www.fynu.ucl.ac.be/users/s.ovyn/files/Delphes_V_*.*.tar
341me@mylaptop:~$ tar -xvf Delphes_V_*.*. tar
342me@mylaptop:~$ cd Delphes_V_*.*
343me@mylaptop:~$ ./genMakefile.tcl >; Makefile
344me@mylaptop:~$ make
345\end{verbatim}
346\end{quote}

349\subsection{Running \textsc{Delphes} on your events}
350
351\subsubsection{Setting the run configuration}
352
353The program is driven by two datacards (default cards are data/DataCardDet.dat and data/trigger.dat) which allow a large spectrum of running conditions.
354{\b The run card }\\
355
356Contains all needed information to run \textsc{Delphes}
357\begin{itemize}
358
359\item The following parameters are available: detector parameters, including calorimeter and tracking coverage and resolution, transverse energy thresholds allowed for reconstructed objects, jet algorithm to use as well as jet parameters.
360
361\item Four flags, {\verb FLAG_bfield }, {\verb FLAG_vfd }, {\verb FLAG_trigger } and {\verb FLAG_frog } should be assigned to decide if the magnetic field propagation, the very forward detectors acceptance, the trigger selection and the preparation for \textsc{Frog} display respectively are running by \textsc{Delphes}.
362
363\item An example (the default detector card) can be found in {\verb files/DataCardDet.dat }
364\end{itemize}
365
366{\b The trigger card }\\
367Contains the definition of all trigger bits
368\begin{itemize}
369
370\item Cuts can be applied on the transverse momentum of electrons, muons, jets, tau-jets, photons and transverse missing energy.
371\item Be careful that the following structured should be used:
372 \begin{enumerate}
373 \item One trigger bit per line, the first entry in the line is the name of the trigger bit
374 \item If the trigger bit uses the presence of multiple identical objects, their transverse momentum thresholds must be defined in decreasing order
375 \item The different object requirements must be separated by a {\verb && } flag
376 \item Example of a trigger bit line:\\
377 \begin{quote}
378\begin{verbatim}
379DoubleElec >> ELEC1_PT: '20' && ELEC2_PT: '10'
380\end{verbatim}
381 \end{quote}
382 \end{enumerate}
383\item An example (the default trigger card) can be found <a href="files/trigger.dat" title="Home">here</a></li>
384\end{itemize}
385
386\subsubsection{Running the code}
387Create the above cards (data/mydetector.dat and data/mytrigger.dat)
388Create a text file containing the list of input files that will be used by \textsc{Delphes} (with extension *.lhe, *.root or *.hep)
389To run the code, type the following
390\begin{quote}
391\begin{verbatim}
392me@mylaptop:~$ ./Delphes inputlist.list OutputRootFileName.root data/mydetector.dat data/mytrigger.dat
393\end{verbatim}
394\end{quote}
395
396
397\subsection{Running an analysis on your \textsc{Delphes} events}
398
399Two examples of codes running on the output root file of \textsc{Delphes} are coming with the package
400\begin{enumerate}
401\item The {\verb Examples/Analysis_Ex.cpp } code shows how to access the available reconstructed objects and the trigger information The two following arguments are required: a text file containing the input \textsc{Delphes} root files to run, and the name of the output root file. To run the code:
402 \begin{quote}
403\begin{verbatim}
404./Analysis_Ex input_file.list output_file.root
405\end{verbatim}
406 \end{quote}
407
408\item The {\verb Examples/Trigger_Only.cpp } code permits to run the trigger selection separately from the general detector simulation on output \textsc{Delphes} root files. An input \textsc{Delphes} root file is mandatory as argument. The new tree containing the trigger information will be added in these file. The trigger datacard is also necessary. To run the code:
409 \begin{quote}
410\begin{verbatim}
411./Trigger_Only input_file.root data/trigger.dat
412\end{verbatim}
413 \end{quote}
414
415\end{enumerate}
416
417\subsection{Running the \textsc{Frog} event display}
418
419\begin{itemize}
420\item If the { \verb FLAG_frog } was switched on, two files were created during the run of \textsc{Delphes}: {\verb DelphesToFrog.vis } and {\verb DelphesToFrog.geom }. They contain all the needed information to run frog.
421\item To display the events and the geometry, you first need to compile \textsc{Frog}. Go to the {\verb Utilities/FROG } and type {\verb make }.
422\item Go back into the main directory and type {\verb ./Utilities/FROG/frog }.
423\end{itemize}

434Attention : in SmearUtil::NumTracks, the function arguments 'Eta' and 'Phi' have been switched. Previously, 'Phi' was before 'Eta', now 'Eta' comes in front. This is for consistency with the other functions in SmearUtil. Check your routines, when using NumTracks !
435
436In the list of input files, all files should have the same type
437
438Attention : in SmearUtil::RESOLution::BJets, the maximal energy was looked in
439CONERADIUS/2 instead of CONERADIUS. This bug has been removed.
440
441Attention : for the tau-jet identification : CONERADIUS /2 was used instead of
442CONERADIUS !
443
444 in other words, the effect related to the particle showers that would happen in the calorimeters are not taken into account. We took the hypothesis that stable particles interacting electromagneticaly deposit their energies in the ECAL calorimeter and that the hadrons just interact with the HCAL
