| 65 | It is always delicate to know whether theoretical predictions are visible and measurable in a high energy collider experiment due to the complexity of the related detectors, data acquisition chain and software.
|
|---|
| 66 | We introduce here a new \texttt{C++}-based framework, \textsc{Delphes}, for fast simulation of
|
|---|
| 67 | a general-purpose experiment. The simulation includes a tracking system, embedded into a magnetic field, calorimetry and a muon
|
|---|
| 68 | system, and possible very forward detectors arranged along the beamline.
|
|---|
| 69 | The framework is interfaced to standard file formats (e.g.\ Les Houches Event File or \texttt{HepMC}) and outputs observable objects for analysis, like missing transverse energy and collections of electrons or jets.
|
|---|
| 70 | The simulation of detector response takes into account the detector resolution, and usual reconstruction algorithms, such as \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.
|
|---|
| 71 | An overview of \textsc{Delphes} is given as well as a few \textsc{lhc} use-cases for illustration.

| 86 | \section{Introduction}
|
|---|
| 87 |
|
|---|
| 88 | Experiments at high energy colliders are very complex systems for several reasons. Firstly, in terms of the various detector subsystems, including tracking, central calorimetry, forward calorimetry, and muon chambers. Such apparatus differ in their detection principles, technologies, geometrical acceptances, resolutions and sensitivities. Secondly, due to the requirement of a highly effective online selection (i.e.\ a \textit{trigger}), subdivided into several levels for an optimal reduction factor of ``uninteresting'' events, 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 approaches.
|
|---|
| 89 |
|
|---|
| 90 | This complexity is handled by large collaborations of thousands of people, but the data and the expertise are only available to their members. Real data analyses require a full detector simulation, including transport of the primary and secondary particles through the detector material accounting for the various detector inefficiencies, the dead material, the imperfections and the geometrical details. Moreover, control of the detector calibration and alignment are crucial. Such simulation is very complicated, technical and requires a large \texttt{CPU} power. On the other hand, phenomenological studies, looking for the observability of given signals, may require only fast but realistic estimates of the expected signals and associated backgrounds.
|
|---|
| 91 |
|
|---|
| 92 | A new framework, called \textsc{Delphes}~\cite{bib:Delphes}, is introduced here, for the fast simulation of a general-purpose collider experiment.
|
|---|
| 93 | Using the framework, observables can be estimated for specific signal and background channels, as well as their production and measurement rates.
|
|---|
| 94 | Starting from the output of event generators, the simulation of the detector response takes into account the subdetector resolutions, by smearing the kinematic properties of the final-state particles\footnote{Throughout the paper, final-state particles refer as particles considered as stable by the event generator.}. Tracks of charged particles and deposits of energy in calorimetric cells (or \textit{calotowers}) are then created.
|
|---|
| 95 |
|
|---|
| 96 | \textsc{Delphes} includes the most crucial experimental features, such as (Fig.~\ref{fig:FlowChart}):
|
|---|
| 97 | \begin{enumerate}
|
|---|
| 98 | \item the geometry of both central and forward detectors,
|
|---|
| 99 | \item magnetic field for tracks
|
|---|
| 100 | \item reconstruction of photons, leptons, jets, $b$-jets, $\tau$-jets and missing transverse energy,
|
|---|
| 101 | \item lepton isolation,
|
|---|
| 102 | \item trigger emulation,
|
|---|
| 103 | \item an event display.
|
|---|
| 104 | \end{enumerate}
|
|---|
| 105 |
|
|---|
| 106 | \begin{figure*}[!ht]

| 109 | \caption{Flow chart describing the principles behind \textsc{Delphes}. Event files coming from external Monte Carlo generators are read by a converter stage (top).
|
|---|
| 110 | The kinematics variables of the final-state particles are then smeared according to the tunable subdetector resolutions.
|
|---|
| 111 | Tracks are reconstructed in a simulated solenoidal magnetic field and calorimetric towers sample the energy deposits. Based on these low-level objects, dedicated algorithms are applied for particle identification, isolation and reconstruction.
|
|---|
| 112 | The transport of very forward particles to the near-beam detectors is also simulated.
|
|---|
| 113 | Finally, an output file is written, including generator-level and analysis-object data.
|
|---|
| 114 | If requested, a fully parametrisable trigger can be emulated. Optionally, the geometry and visualisation files for the 3D event display can also be produced.
|
|---|
| 115 | All user parameters are set in the \textit{Detector/Smearing Card} and the \textit{Trigger Card}. }

|
|---|
| 119 |
|
|---|
| 120 | Although 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.
|
|---|
| 121 |
|
|---|
| 122 | Four datafile formats can be used as input in \textsc{Delphes}\footnote{\texttt{[code] }See the \texttt{HEPEVTConverter}, \texttt{HepMCConverter}, \texttt{LHEFConverter} and \texttt{STDHEPConverter} classes.}. In order to process events from many different generators, the standard Monte Carlo event structures \texttt{StdHEP}~\cite{bib:stdhep} and \texttt{HepMC}~\cite{bib:hepmc} can be used as an input. Besides, \textsc{Delphes} can also provide detector response for events read in ``Les Houches Event Format'' (\textsc{lhef}~\cite{bib:lhe}) and \textsc{root} files obtained from \textsc{.hbook} using the \texttt{h2root} utility from the \textsc{root} framework~\cite{bib:Root}.
|
|---|
| 123 | %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.
|
|---|
| 124 |
|
|---|
| 125 | \textsc{Delphes} uses the \texttt{ExRootAnalysis} utility~\cite{bib:ExRootAnalysis} to create output data in a \texttt{*.root} ntuple.
|
|---|
| 126 | This output 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).
|
|---|
| 127 | In option\footnote{\texttt{[code]} See the \texttt{FLAG\_lhco} variable in the detector datacard. This text file format is shortly described in the user manual.}, \textsc{Delphes} can produce a reduced output file in \texttt{*.lhco} text format, which is limited to the list of the reconstructed high-level objects in the final states.
|
|---|
| 128 |
|
|---|
| 129 | The program is driven by input cards. The detector card (\texttt{data/DetectorCard.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/TriggerCard.dat}) lists the user algorithms for the simplified online preselection. Even if \textsc{Delphes} has been developped for the simulation of general-purpose detectors at the \textsc{lhc} (namely, \textsc{cms} and \textsc{atlas}), the input cards allow a flexible parametrisation for other cases, e.g.\ at future linear colliders.

| 132 | \section{Detector simulation}
|
|---|
| 133 |
|
|---|
| 134 | The overall layout of the general-purpose detector simulated by \textsc{Delphes} is shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:GenDet3}.
|
|---|
| 135 | A central tracking system (\textsc{tracker}) is surrounded by an electromagnetic and a hadron calorimeters (\textsc{ecal} and \textsc{hcal}, resp., each with a central region and two endcaps). Two forward calorimeters (\textsc{fcal}) ensure a larger geometric coverage for the measurement of the missing transverse energy. Finally, a muon system (\textsc{muon}) encloses the central detector volume
|
|---|
| 136 | The fast simulation of the detector response takes into account geometrical acceptance of sub-detectors and their finite resolution, as defined in the detector data card\footnote{\texttt{[code] }See the \texttt{RESOLution} class.}.
|
|---|
| 137 | If no such file is provided, predefined values based on ``typical'' \textsc{cms} acceptances and resolutions are used\footnote{\texttt{[code] }Detector and trigger cards for the \textsc{atlas} and \textsc{cms} experiments are also provided in \texttt{data/} directory.}. The geometrical coverage of the various subsystems used in the default configuration are summarised in Tab.~\ref{tab:defEta}.

|
|---|
| 171 | \subsubsection*{Magnetic field}
|
|---|
| 172 | In addition to the subdetectors, the effects of a solenoidal magnetic field are simulated for the charged particles\footnote{\texttt{[code] }See the \texttt{TrackPropagation} class.}. This affects the position at which charged particles enter the calorimeters and their corresponding tracks. The field extension is limited to the tracker volume and is in particular not applied for muon chambers. Howerver, this is not a limiting factor as the resolution applied for muon reconstruction is the one expected by the experiment, which consequently includes the effects of the magnetic field within the muon system.

|
|---|
| 176 | \subsection{Tracks reconstruction}
|
|---|
| 177 | Every stable charged particle with a transverse momentum above some threshold and lying inside the detector volume covered by the tracker provides a track.
|
|---|
| 178 | By default, a track is assumed to be reconstructed with $90\%$ probability\footnote{\texttt{[code]} The reconstruction efficiency is defined in the detector datacard by the \texttt{TRACKING\_EFF} term.} if its transverse momentum $p_T$ is higher than $0.9~\textrm{GeV}/c$ and if its pseudorapidity $|\eta| \leq 2.5$.
|
|---|
| 179 |
|
|---|
| 180 |
|
|---|
| 181 | \subsection{Simulation of central calorimeters}
|
|---|
| 182 |
|
|---|
| 183 | The energy of each particle considered as stable in the generator particle list is smeared, with a Gaussian distribution depending on the calorimeter resolution. This resolution varies with the sub-calorimeter (\textsc{ecal}, \textsc{hcal}, \textsc{fcal}) measuring the particle.
|
|---|
| 184 | The response of each sub-calorimeter is parametrised as a function of the energy:
|
|---|
| 185 | \begin{equation}
|
|---|
| 186 | \frac{\sigma}{E} = \frac{S}{\sqrt{E}} \oplus \frac{N}{E} \oplus C,
|
|---|
| 187 | \label{eq:caloresolution}
|
|---|
| 188 | \end{equation}
|
|---|
| 189 | where $S$, $N$ and $C$ are the \textit{stochastic}, \textit{noise} and \textit{constant} terms, respectively, and $\oplus$ stands for quadratic additions.\\
|
|---|
| 190 |
|
|---|
| 191 |
|
|---|
| 192 | The particle four-momentum $p^\mu$ are smeared with a parametrisation directly derived from typical detector technical designs\footnote{\texttt{[code] } The response of the detector is applied to the electromagnetic and the hadronic particles through the \texttt{SmearElectron} and \texttt{SmearHadron} functions.} \cite{bib:cmsjetresolution,bib:ATLASresolution}.
|
|---|
| 193 | In the default parametrisation, the calorimeter is assumed to cover the pseudorapidity range $|\eta|<3$ and consists in an electromagnetic and hadronic parts. Coverage between pseudorapidities of $3.0$ and $5.0$ is provided by forward calorimeters, with different response to electromagnetic objects ($e^\pm, \gamma$) or hadrons.
|
|---|
| 194 | Muons and neutrinos are assumed not to interact with the calorimeters\footnote{In the current \textsc{Delphes} version, particles other than electrons ($e^\pm$), photons ($\gamma$), muons ($\mu^\pm$) and neutrinos ($\nu_e$, $\nu_\mu$ and $\nu_\tau$) are simulated as hadrons for their interactions with the calorimeters. The simulation of stable particles beyond the Standard Model should therefore be handled with care.}.
|
|---|
| 195 | The default values of the stochastic, noise and constant terms are given in Tab.~\ref{tab:defResol}.\\

| 234 | The energy of electrons and photons 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 \textsc{fcal}.
|
|---|
| 235 | Some long-living particles, such as the $K^0_s$ and $\Lambda$'s, with lifetime $c\tau$ smaller than $10~\textrm{mm}$ are considered as stable particles although they decay before the calorimeters. The energy smearing of such particles is performed using the expected fraction of the energy, determined according to their decay products, that would be deposited into the \textsc{ecal} ($E_{\textsc{ecal}}$) and into the \textsc{hcal} ($E_{\textsc{hcal}}$). Defining $F$ as the fraction of the energy leading to a \textsc{hcal} deposit, the two energy values are given by

| 244 | where $0 \leq F \leq 1$. The electromagnetic part is handled the same way for the electrons and photons.
|
|---|
| 245 | The resulting calorimetry energy measurement given after the application of the smearing is then $E = E_{\textsc{hcal}} + E_{\textsc{ecal}}$. For $K_S^0$ and $\Lambda$ hadrons\footnote{\texttt{[code]} To implement different ratios for other particles, see the \texttt{BlockClasses} class.}, the energy fraction is $F$ is assumed to be $0.7$.\\

| 247 | \subsection{Calorimetric towers}
|
|---|
| 248 |
|
|---|
| 249 | The smallest unit for geometrical sampling of the calorimeters is a \textit{tower}; it segments the $(\eta,\phi)$ plane for the energy measurement. No longitudinal segmentation is available in the simulated calorimeters. All undecayed particles, except muons and neutrinos deposit energy in a calorimetric tower, either in \textsc{ecal}, in \textsc{hcal} or \textsc{fcal}.
|
|---|
| 250 | As the detector is assumed to be cylindrical (e.g.\ symmetric in $\phi$ and with respect to the $\eta=0$ plane), the detector 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. Fig.~\ref{fig:calosegmentation} illustrates the default calorimeter segmentation, which is common for the electromagnetic and hadronic sections at a given $(\eta,\phi)$.

| 261 | The calorimetric towers directly enter in the calculation of the missing transverse energy (\textsc{met}), and as input for the jet reconstruction algorithms. No sharing between neighbouring towers is implemented when particles enter a tower very close to its geometrical edge. Smearing is applied directly on the accumulated electromagnetic and hadronic energies of each calorimetric tower.

| 263 | \subsection{Very forward detector simulation}
|
|---|
| 264 |
|
|---|
| 265 | Most of the recent experiments in beam colliders have additional instrumentation along the beamline. These extend the $\eta$ coverage to higher values, for the detection of very forward final-state particles. In \textsc{Delphes}, Zero Degree Calorimeters, roman pots and forward taggers have been implemented (Fig.~\ref{fig:fdets}).

| 297 | \subsubsection*{Zero Degree Calorimeters}
|
|---|
| 298 |
|
|---|
| 299 | In direct sight of the interaction point, on both sides of the central detector, the Zero Degree Calorimeters (\textsc{zdc}s) are located at zero angle, i.e.\ are aligned with the beamline axis at the interaction point. They are placed beyond the point where the paths of incoming and outgoing beams separate. These allow the measurement of stable neutral particles ($\gamma$ and $n$) coming from the interaction point, with large pseudorapidities (e.g.\ $|\eta_{\textrm{n,}\gamma}| > 8.3$ in \textsc{atlas} and \textsc{cms}).
|
|---|
| 300 |
|
|---|
| 301 | The trajectory of the neutrals observed in the \textsc{zdc}s is a straight line, while charged particles are deflected away from their acceptance window by the powerful magnets located in front of them. The fact that additional charged particles may enter the \textsc{zdc} acceptance is neglected here.
|
|---|
| 302 |
|
|---|
| 303 | The \textsc{zdc}s have the ability to measure the time-of-flight of the particle.
|
|---|
| 304 | This corresponds to the delay after which the particle is observed in the detector, with respect to the bunch crossing reference time at the interaction point ($t_0$). The measured time-of-flight $t$ is simply given by:
|
|---|
| 305 | \begin{equation}
|
|---|
| 306 | t = t_0 + \frac{1}{v} \times \Big( \frac{s-z}{\cos \theta}\Big),
|
|---|
| 307 | \end{equation}
|
|---|
| 308 | where $t_0$ is thus 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, $\theta$ is the particle emission angle. It is then assumed 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 $1 - \cos \theta < 10^{-4}$.
|
|---|
| 309 | The formula then reduces to
|
|---|
| 310 | \begin{equation}
|
|---|
| 311 | t = \frac{1}{c} \times (s-z).
|
|---|
| 312 | \end{equation}
|
|---|
| 313 | For example, a photon takes $0.47~\mu\textrm{s}$ to reach a \textsc{zdc} located at $s=140~\textrm{m}$, neglecting $z$ and $\theta$. For the time-of-flight measurement, a Gaussian smearing can be applied according to the detector resolution (Tab.~\ref{tab:defResolZdc}). In the current version of \textsc{Delphes}, only neutrons, antineutrons and photons are assumed to be able to reach the \textsc{zdc}s, all other particles being neglected.
|
|---|
| 314 |
|
|---|
| 315 | The \textsc{zdc}s are composed of an electromagnetic and a hadronic sections, for the measurement of photons and neutrons, respectively. The energy of the observed neutral is smeared according to Eq.~\ref{eq:caloresolution} and the corresponding section resolutions (Tab.~\ref{tab:defResolZdc}). The \textsc{zdc} hits do not enter in the calorimeter tower list used for reconstruction of jets and missing transverse energy.

| 340 | \subsubsection*{Forward taggers}
|
|---|
| 341 |
|
|---|
| 342 | Forward taggers (called here \textsc{rp220}, for ``roman pots at $220~\textrm{m}$'' and \textsc{fp420} ``for forward proton taggers at $420~\textrm{m}$'', as at the \textsc{lhc}) are meant for the measurement of particles following very closely the beam path. Such devices, also used at \textsc{hera} and \textsc{Tevratron}, are located very far away from the interaction point (further than $150$~m in the \textsc{lhc} case).
|
|---|
| 343 |
|
|---|
| 344 | To be able to reach these detectors, particles must have a charge identical to the beam particles, and a momentum very close to the nominal value of the beam. These taggers are near-beam detectors located a few millimetres from the true beam trajectory and this distance defines their acceptance (Tab.~\ref{tab:fdetacceptance}).
|
|---|
| 345 | For instance, roman pots at $220~\textrm{m}$ from the \textsc{ip} and $2~\textrm{mm}$ from the beam will detect all forward protons with an energy between $120$ and $900~\textrm{GeV}$~\cite{bib:Hector}.
|
|---|
| 346 | In practice, in the \textsc{lhc}, only positively charged muons ($\mu^+$) and protons can reach the forward taggers as other particles with a single positive charge coming from the interaction points will decay before their possible tagging. In \textsc{Delphes}, extra hits coming from the beam-gas events or secondary particles hitting the beampipe in front of the detectors are not taken into account.
|
|---|
| 347 |
|
|---|
| 348 | While neutral particles propagate along a straight line to the \textsc{zdc}, a dedicated simulation of the transport of charged particles is needed for \textsc{rp220} and \textsc{fp420}. This fast simulation uses the \textsc{Hector} software~\cite{bib:Hector}, which includes the chromaticity effects and the geometrical aperture of the beamline elements of any arbitrary collider.
|
|---|
| 349 |
|
|---|
| 350 | Forward taggers are able to measure the hit positions ($x,y$) and angles ($\theta_x,\theta_y$) in the transverse plane at the location of the detector ($s$ meters away from the \textsc{ip}), as well as the time-of-flight\footnote{It should be noted that for both \textsc{cms} and \textsc{atlas} experiments, the taggers located at $220$~m are not able to measure the time-of-flight, contrary to \textsc{fp}420 detectors.} ($t$). Out of these the particle energy ($E$) and the momentum transfer it underwent during the interaction ($q^2$) can be reconstructed\footnote{The reconstruction of $E$ and $q^2$ are not implemeted in \textsc{Delphes} but can be performed at the analysis level.}. The time-of-flight measurement can be smeared with a Gaussian distribution (default value\footnote{\texttt{[code] } The resolution is defined by the \texttt{RP220\_T\_resolution} and \texttt{RP420\_T\_resolution} parameters in the detector card.} $\sigma_t = 0~\textrm{s}$).

|
|---|
| 353 | \section{High-level object reconstruction}
|
|---|
| 354 |
|
|---|
| 355 | Analysis object data contain the final collections of particles ($e^\pm$, $\mu^\pm$, $\gamma$) or objects (light jets, $b$-jets, $\tau$-jets, $E_T^\textrm{miss}$) and are stored\footnote{\texttt{[code] }All these processed data are located under the \texttt{Analysis} tree.} in the output file created by \textsc{Delphes}.
|
|---|
| 356 | In addition, some detector data are added: tracks, calorimetric towers and hits in \textsc{zdc}, \textsc{rp220} and \textsc{fp420}.
|
|---|
| 357 | While electrons, muons and photons are easily identified, some other objects are more difficult to measure, like jets or missing energy due to invisible particles.
|
|---|
| 358 |
|
|---|
| 359 | For most of these objects, their four-momentum and related quantities are directly accessible in \textsc{Delphes} output ($E$, $\vec{p}$, $p_T$, $\eta$ and $\phi$). Additional properties are available for specific objects (like the charge and the isolation status for $e^\pm$ and $\mu^\pm$, the result of application of $b$-tag for jets and time-of-flight for some detector hits).

|
|---|
| 363 | \subsection{Photon and charged lepton reconstruction}
|
|---|
| 364 | From here onwards, \textit{electrons} refer to both positrons ($e^+$) and electrons ($e^-$), and $\textit{charged leptons}$ refer to electrons and muons ($\mu^\pm$), leaving out the $\tau^\pm$ leptons as they decay before being detected.
|
|---|
| 365 |
|
|---|
| 366 | \subsubsection*{Electrons and photons}
|
|---|
| 367 | Electron ($e^\pm$) and photon candidates are reconstructed if they fall into the acceptance of the tracking system and have a transverse momentum above a threshold (default $p_T > 10~\textrm{GeV}/c$). A calorimetric tower will be seen in the detector, as electrons will leave in addition a track. Subsequently, electrons and photons create a candidate in the jet collection.
|
|---|
| 368 | Assuming a good measurement of the track parameters in the real experiment, the electron energy can be reasonably recovered. In \textsc{Delphes}, electron energy is smeared according to the resolution of the calorimetric tower where it points to, but independently from any other deposited energy is this tower. This approach is still conservative as the calorimeter resolution is worse than the tracker one.
|
|---|
| 369 |
|
|---|
| 370 | \subsubsection*{Muons}
|
|---|
| 371 | Generator-level muons entering the detector acceptance are considered as candidates for the analysis level.
|
|---|
| 372 | The acceptance is defined in terms of a transverse momentum threshold to be overpassed that should be computed using the chosen geometry of the detector and the magnetic field considered (default : $p_T > 10~\textrm{GeV}/c$) and of the pseudorapidity coverage of the muon system (default: $-2.4 \leq \eta \leq 2.4$).
|
|---|
| 373 | The application of the detector resolution on the muon momentum depends on a Gaussian smearing of the $p_T$ variable\footnote{\texttt{[code]} See the \texttt{SmearMuon} method.}. Neither $\eta$ nor $\phi$ variables are modified beyond the calorimeters: no additional magnetic field is applied. Multiple scattering is neglected. This implies that low energy muons have in \textsc{Delphes} a better resolution than in a real detector. Furthermore, muons leave no deposit in calorimeters. At last, the particles which might leak out of the calorimeters into the muon systems (\textit{punch-through}) will not be seen as muon candidates in \textsc{Delphes}.
|
|---|
| 374 |
|
|---|
| 375 | \subsubsection*{Charged lepton isolation}
|
|---|
| 376 | \label{sec:isolation}
|
|---|
| 377 |
|
|---|
| 378 | To improve the quality of the contents of the charged lepton collections, additional criteria can be applied such as isolation. This requires that electron or muon candidates are isolated in the detector from any other particle, within a small cone. In \textsc{Delphes}, charged lepton isolation demands that there is no other charged particle with $p_T>2~\textrm{GeV}/c$ within a cone of $\Delta R = \sqrt{\Delta \eta^2 + \Delta \phi^2} <0.5$ around the lepton.
|
|---|
| 379 | The result (i.e.\ \textit{isolated} or \textit{not}) is added to the charged lepton measured properties.
|
|---|
| 380 | In addition, the sum $P_T$ of the transverse momenta of all tracks but the lepton one within the isolation cone is
|
|---|
| 381 | provided\footnote{\texttt{[code] }See the \texttt{IsolFlag} and \texttt{IsolPt} values in the \texttt{Electron} or \texttt{Muon} collections in the \texttt{Analysis} tree, as well as the \texttt{ISOL\_PT} and \texttt{ISOL\_Cone} variables in the detector card.}:
|
|---|
| 382 | $$ P_T = \sum_{i \neq \mu}^\textrm{tracks} p_T(i)$$
|
|---|
| 383 |
|
|---|
| 384 | No calorimetric isolation is applied, but the muon collection contains also the ratio $\rho_\mu$ between (1) the sum of the transverse energies in all calotowers in a $N \times N$ grid around the muon, and (2) the muon transverse
|
|---|
| 385 | momentum\footnote{\texttt{[code] }Calorimetric isolation parameters in the detector card are \texttt{ISOL\_Calo\_ET} and \texttt{ISOL\_Calo\_Grid}.}:
|
|---|
| 386 | $$ \rho_\mu = \frac{\Sigma_i E_T(i)}{p_T(\mu)}~,~ i\textrm{ in }N \times N \textrm { grid centred on }\mu.$$
|
|---|
| 387 |
|
|---|
| 388 | \subsubsection*{Forward neutrals}
|
|---|
| 389 |
|
|---|
| 390 | The zero degree calorimeter hits correspond to neutral particles with a lifetime long enough to reach these detectors (default: $c \tau \geq 140~\textrm{m}$) and very large pseudorapidities (default: $|\eta|>8.3$). In current versions of \textsc{Delphes}, only photons and neutrons are considered. Photons are identified thanks to the electromagnetic section of the calorimeter, and if their energy overpasses a given threshold (def. $20$~GeV). Similarly, neutrons are reconstructed according to the resolution of the hadronic section, if their energy exceeds a threshold\footnote{\texttt{[code]} These thresholds are defined by the \texttt{ZDC\_gamma\_E} and \texttt{ZDC\_n\_E} variables in the detector card.} (def. $50$~GeV).
|
|---|
| 391 |
|
|---|
| 392 |
|
|---|
| 393 | \subsection{Jet reconstruction}
|
|---|
| 394 |
|
|---|
| 395 | A realistic analysis requires a correct treatment of particles which have hadronised. Therefore, the most widely currently used jet algorithms have been integrated into the \textsc{Delphes} framework using the \textsc{FastJet} tools~\cite{bib:FastJet}.
|
|---|
| 396 | Six different jet reconstruction schemes are available\footnote{\texttt{[code] }The choice is done by allocating the \texttt{JET\_jetalgo } input parameter in the detector card.}. The first three belong to the cone algorithm class while the last three are using a sequential recombination scheme. For all of them, the towers are used as input for the jet clustering. Jet algorithms differ in their sensitivity to soft particles or collinear splittings, and in their computing speed performances.
|
|---|
| 397 | By default, reconstruction uses a cone algorithm with $\Delta R=0.7$.
|
|---|
| 398 | Jets are stored if their transverse energy is higher\footnote{\texttt{[code] PTCUT\_jet }variable in the detector card.} than $20~\textrm{GeV}$.
|
|---|
| 399 |
|
|---|
| 400 | \subsubsection*{Cone algorithms}
|
|---|
| 401 |
|
|---|
| 402 | \begin{enumerate}
|
|---|
| 403 |
|
|---|
| 404 | \item {\it CDF Jet Clusters}~\cite{bib:jetclu}: Algorithm forming jets by associating together towers lying within a circle (default radius $\Delta R=0.7$) in the $(\eta$, $\phi)$ space.
|
|---|
| 405 | This so-called \textsc{Jetclu} cone jet algorithm is used by the \textsc{cdf} experiment in Run II.
|
|---|
| 406 | All towers with a transverse energy $E_T$ higher than a given threshold (default: $E_T > 1~\textrm{GeV}$) are used to seed the jet candidates.
|
|---|
| 407 | The existing \textsc{FastJet} code has been modified to allow easy modification of the tower pattern in ($\eta$, $\phi$) space.
|
|---|
| 408 | In following versions of \textsc{Delphes}, a new dedicated plug-in will be created on this purpose\footnote{\texttt{[code] }\texttt{JET\_coneradius} and \texttt{JET\_seed} variables in the detector card.}.
|
|---|
| 409 |
|
|---|
| 410 | \item {\it CDF MidPoint}~\cite{bib:midpoint}: Algorithm developed for the \textsc{cdf} Run II to reduce infrared and collinear sensitivities compared to purely seed-based cone by adding `midpoints' (energy barycentres) in the list of cone seeds.
|
|---|
| 411 |
|
|---|
| 412 | \item {\it Seedless Infrared Safe Cone}~\cite{bib:SIScone}: The \textsc{SISCone} algorithm is simultaneously insensitive to additional soft particles and collinear splittings, and fast enough to be used in experimental analysis.

|---|
| 414 | \end{enumerate}
|
|---|
| 415 |
|
|---|
| 416 | \subsubsection*{Recombination algorithms}
|
|---|
| 417 |
|
|---|
| 418 | The three sequential recombination jet algorithms are safe with respect to soft radiations (\textit{infrared}) and collinear splittings. They rely on recombination schemes where calorimeter tower pairs are successively merged. The definitions of the jet algorithms are similar except for the definition of the \textit{distances} $d$ used during the merging procedure. Two such variables are defined: the distance $d_{ij}$ between each pair of towers $(i,j)$, and a variable $d_{iB}$ (\textit{beam distance}) depending on the transverse momentum of the tower $i$.
|
|---|
| 419 |
|
|---|
| 420 | The jet reconstruction algorithm browses the calotower list. It starts by finding the minimum value $d_\textrm{min}$ of all the distances $d_{ij}$ and $d_{iB}$. If $d_\textrm{min}$ is a $d_{ij}$, the towers $i$ and $j$ are merged into a single tower with a four-momentum $p^\mu = p^\mu (i) + p^\mu (j)$ (\textit{E-scheme recombination}). If $d_\textrm{min}$ is a $d_{iB}$, the tower is declared as a final jet and is removed from the input list. This procedure is repeated until no towers are left in the input list. Further information on these jet algorithms is given here below, using $k_{ti}$, $y_{i}$ and $\phi_i$ as the transverse momentum, rapidity and azimuth of calotower $i$ and $\Delta R_{ij}= \sqrt{(y_i-y_j)^2+(\phi_i-\phi_j)^2}$ as the jet-radius parameter:

|
|---|
| 450 |
|
|---|
| 451 | In jets, several particle can leave their energy into a given calorimetric tower, which broadens the jet energy resolution. However, the energy of charged particles associated to jets can be deduced from their reconstructed track, thus providing a way to identify some of the components of towers with multiple hits. When the \textit{energy flow} is switched on in \textsc{Delphes}\footnote{\texttt{[code]} Set \texttt{JET\_Eflow} to $1$ or $0$ in the detector card in order to switch on or off the energy flow for jet reconstruction.}, the energy of tracks pointing to calotowers is extracted and smeared separately, before running the chosen jet reconstruction algorithm. This option allows a better jet $E$ reconstruction.

| 452 |
|
|---|
| 453 | \subsection{$b$-tagging}
|
|---|
| 454 |
|
|---|
| 455 | A 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. By default, a $b$-tagging efficiency of $40\%$ is assumed if the jet has a parent $b$ quark. For $c$-jets and light jets (i.e.\ originating in $u$, $d$, $s$ quarks or in gluons), a fake $b$-tagging efficiency of $10 \%$ and $1 \%$ respectively is assumed\footnote{\texttt{[code] }Corresponding to the \texttt{BTAG\_b}, \texttt{BTAG\_mistag\_c} and \texttt{BTAG\_mistag\_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 mistagging a light jet ($u$,$d$,$s$,$g$) as a $b$-jet.}.
|
|---|
| 456 | The (mis)tagging relies on the true particle identity (\textsc{pid}) of the most energetic particle within a cone around the observed $(\eta,\phi)$ region, with a radius equal to the one used to reconstruct the jet (default: $\Delta R$ of $0.7$). In current version of \textsc{Delphes}, the displacement of secondary vertices is not simulated.
|
|---|
| 457 |
|
|---|
| 458 | \subsection{\texorpdfstring{$\tau$}{\texttau} identification}
|
|---|
| 459 |
|
|---|
| 460 | Jets originating from $\tau$-decays are identified using a procedure consistent with the one applied in a full detector simulation~\cite{bib:cmsjetresolution}.
|
|---|
| 461 | The tagging relies on two properties of the $\tau$ lepton. First, $77\%$ of the $\tau$ hadronic decays contain only one charged hadron associated to a few neutrals (Tab.~\ref{tab:taudecay}). Tracks are useful for this criterion. Secondly, the particles arisen from the $\tau$ lepton produce narrow jets in the calorimeter (this is defined as the jet \textit{collimation}).

|
|---|
| 516 |
|
|---|
| 517 | To use the narrowness of the $\tau$-jet, the \textit{electromagnetic collimation} $C_{\tau}$ is defined as the sum of the energy of towers in a small cone of radius $R^\textrm{em}$ around the jet axis, divided by the energy of the reconstructed jet.
|
|---|
| 518 | To be taken into account, a calorimeter tower should have a transverse energy $E_T^\textrm{tower}$ above a given threshold.
|
|---|
| 519 | A large fraction of the jet energy is expected in this small cone. This fraction, or \textit{collimation factor}, is represented in Fig.~\ref{fig:tau2} for the default values (see Tab.~\ref{tab:tauRef}).

|
|---|
| 532 | \subsubsection*{Tracking isolation}
|
|---|
| 533 |
|
|---|
| 534 | The tracking isolation for the $\tau$ identification requires that the number of tracks associated to particles with significant transverse momenta is one and only one in a cone of radius $R^\textrm{tracks}$ ($3-$prong $\tau$-jets are dropped).
|
|---|
| 535 | This cone should be entirely incorporated into the tracker to be taken into account. Default values of these parameters are given in Tab.~\ref{tab:tauRef}.

| 549 | \subsubsection*{Purity}
|
|---|
| 550 | Once both electromagnetic collimation and tracking isolation are applied, a threshold on the $p_T$ of the $\tau$-jet candidate is requested to purify the collection. This procedure selects $\tau$ leptons decaying hadronically with a typical efficiency of $66\%$.
|
|---|
| 551 |
|
|---|
| 552 | \subsection{Missing transverse energy}
|
|---|
| 553 | In an ideal detector, momentum conservation imposes the transverse momentum of the observed final state $\overrightarrow{p_T}^\textrm{obs}$ to be equal to the $\overrightarrow{p_T}$ vector sum of the invisible particles, written $\overrightarrow{p_T}^\textrm{miss}$.
|
|---|
| 554 | \begin{equation}
|
|---|
| 555 | \overrightarrow{p_T} = \left(
|
|---|
| 556 | \begin{array}{c}
|
|---|
| 557 | p_x\\
|
|---|
| 558 | p_y\\
|
|---|
| 559 | \end{array}
|
|---|
| 560 | \right)
|
|---|
| 561 | ~ \textrm{and} ~
|
|---|
| 562 | \left\{
|
|---|
| 563 | \begin{array}{l}
|
|---|
| 564 | p_x^\textrm{miss} = - p_x^\textrm{obs} \\
|
|---|
| 565 | p_y^\textrm{miss} = - p_y^\textrm{obs} \\
|
|---|
| 566 | \end{array}
|
|---|
| 567 | \right.
|
|---|
| 568 | \end{equation}
|
|---|
| 569 | The \textit{true} missing transverse energy, i.e.\ at generator-level, is calculated as the opposite of the vector sum of the transverse momenta of all visible particles -- or equivalently, to the vector sum of invisible particle transverse momenta.
|
|---|
| 570 | In a real experiment, calorimeters measure energy and not momentum. Any problem affecting the detector (dead channels, misalignment, noisy towers, cracks) worsens directly the measured missing transverse energy $\overrightarrow {E_T}^\textrm{miss}$. In this document, \textsc{met} is based on the calorimetric towers and only muons and neutrinos are not taken into account for its evaluation\footnote{However, as tracks and calorimetric towers are available in the output file, the missing transverse energy can always be reprocessed a posteriori. }:
|
|---|
| 571 | \begin{equation}
|
|---|
| 572 | \overrightarrow{E_T}^\textrm{miss} = - \sum^\textrm{towers}_i \overrightarrow{E_T}(i)

| 576 | \section{Trigger emulation}
|
|---|
| 577 |
|
|---|
| 578 | New physics in collider experiment are often characterised in phenomenology by low cross-section values, compared to the Standard Model (\textsc{sm}) processes. %For instance at the \textsc{lhc} ($\sqrt{s}=14~\textrm{TeV}$), the cross-section of inclusive production of $b \bar b$ pairs is expected to be $10^7~\textrm{nb}$, or inclusive jets at $100~\textrm{nb}$ ($p_T > 200~\textrm{GeV}/c$), while Higgs boson cross-section within the \textsc{sm} can be as small as $2 \times 10^{-3}~\textrm{nb}$ ($pp \rightarrow WH$, $m_H=115~\textrm{GeV}/c^2$).
|
|---|
| 579 |
|
|---|
| 580 | %High statistics are required for data analyses, consequently imposing high luminosity, i.e.\ a high collision rate.
|
|---|
| 581 | As only a tiny fraction of the observed events can be stored for subsequent \textit{offline} analyses, a very large data rejection factor should be applied directly as the events are produced.
|
|---|
| 582 | This data selection is supposed to reject only well-known \textsc{sm} events\footnote{However, some bandwidth is allocated to minimum-bias and/or zero-bias (``random'') triggers that stores a small fraction of the events without any selection criteria.}.
|
|---|
| 583 | Dedicated algorithms of this \textit{online} selection, or \textit{trigger}, should be fast and very efficient for data rejection, in order to preserve the experiment output bandwidth. They must also be as inclusive as possible to avoid loosing interesting events.
|
|---|
| 584 |
|
|---|
| 585 | Most of the usual trigger algorithms select events containing objects (i.e.\ jets, particles, \textsc{met}) with an energy scale above some threshold. This is often expressed in terms of a cut on the transverse momentum of one or several objects of the measured event. Logical combinations of several conditions are also possible. For instance, a trigger path could select events containing at least one jet and one electron such as $p_T^\textrm{jet} > 100~\textrm{GeV}/c$ and $p_T^e > 50~\textrm{GeV}/c$.
|
|---|
| 586 |
|
|---|
| 587 | A trigger emulation is included in \textsc{Delphes}, using a fully parametrisable \textit{trigger table}\footnote{\texttt{[code] }The trigger card is the \texttt{data/TriggerCard.dat} file.}. When enabled, this trigger is applied on analysis-object data.
|
|---|
| 588 | In a real experiment, the online selection is often divided into several steps (or \textit{levels}).
|
|---|
| 589 | This splits the overall reduction factor into a product of smaller factors, corresponding to the different trigger levels.
|
|---|
| 590 | This is related to the architecture of the experiment data acquisition chain, with limited electronic buffers requiring a quick decision for the first trigger level.
|
|---|
| 591 | First-level triggers are then fast and simple but based only on partial data as not all detector front-ends are readable within the decision latency.
|
|---|
| 592 | Higher level triggers are more complex, of finer-but-not-final quality and based on full detector data.
|
|---|
| 593 |
|
|---|
| 594 | Real triggers are thus intrinsically based on reconstructed data with a worse resolution than final analysis data.
|
|---|
| 595 | On the contrary, same data are used in \textsc{Delphes} for trigger emulation and for final analyses.
|
|---|
| 596 |
|
|---|
| 597 | \section{Validation}
|
|---|
| 598 |
|
|---|
| 599 | \textsc{Delphes} performs a fast simulation of a collider experiment.
|
|---|
| 600 | Its performances in terms of computing time and data size are directly proportional to the number of simulated events and on the considered physics process. As an example, $10,000$ $pp \rightarrow t \bar t X$ events are processed in $110~\textrm{s}$ on a regular laptop and use less than $250~\textrm{MB}$ of disk space.
|
|---|
| 601 | The quality and validity of the output are assessed by comparing the resolutions on the reconstructed data to the expectations of both \textsc{cms}~\cite{bib:cmsjetresolution} and \textsc{atlas}~\cite{bib:ATLASresolution} detectors.
|
|---|
| 602 |
|
|---|
| 603 | Electrons and muons are by construction equal to the experiment designs, as the Gaussian smearing of their kinematics properties is defined according to
|
|---|
| 604 | the detector specifications.
|
|---|
| 605 | Similarly, the $b$-tagging efficiency (for real $b$-jets) and misidentification rates (for fake $b$-jets) are taken directly from the expected values of the experiment.
|
|---|
| 606 | Unlike these simple objects, jets and missing transverse energy should be carefully cross-checked.
|
|---|
| 607 |
|
|---|
| 608 | \subsection{Jet resolution}
|
|---|
| 609 |
|
|---|
| 610 | The majority of interesting processes at the \textsc{lhc} contain jets in the final state. The jet resolution obtained using \textsc{Delphes} is therefore a crucial point for its validation, both for \textsc{cms}- and \textsc{atlas}-like detectors.
|
|---|
| 611 | This validation is based on $pp \rightarrow gg$ events produced with \textsc{MadGraph/MadEvent} and hadronised using \textsc{Pythia}~\cite{bib:mgme,bib:pythia}.
|
|---|
| 612 |
|
|---|
| 613 | For a \textsc{cms}-like detector, a similar procedure as the one explained in published results is applied here.
|
|---|
| 614 | The events were arranged in $14$ bins of gluon transverse momentum $\hat{p}_T$. In each $\hat{p}_T$ bin, every jet in \textsc{Delphes} is matched to the closest jet of generator-level particles, using the spatial separation between the two jet axes
|
|---|
| 615 | \begin{equation}
|
|---|
| 616 | \Delta R = \sqrt{ \big(\eta^\textrm{rec} - \eta^\textrm{MC} \big)^2 + \big(\phi^\textrm{rec} - \phi^\textrm{MC} \big)^2}<0.25.
|
|---|
| 617 | \end{equation}
|
|---|
| 618 | The jets made of generator-level particles, here referred as \textit{MC jets}, are obtained by applying the algorithm to all particles considered as stable after hadronisation (i.e.\ including muons).
|
|---|
| 619 | Jets produced by \textsc{Delphes} and satisfying the matching criterion are called hereafter \textit{reconstructed jets}.
|
|---|
| 620 | All jets are computed with the clustering algorithm (\textsc{jetclu}) with a cone radius $R$ of $0.7$.
|
|---|
| 621 |
|
|---|
| 622 | The ratio of the transverse energies of every reconstructed jet $E_T^\textrm{rec}$ to its corresponding \textsc{mc} jet $E_T^\textrm{MC}$ is calculated in each $\hat{p}_T$ bin.
|
|---|
| 623 | The $E_T^\textrm{rec}/E_T^\textrm{MC}$ histogram is fitted with a Gaussian distribution in the interval \mbox{$\pm 2$~\textsc{rms}} centred around the mean value.
|
|---|
| 624 | The resolution in each $\hat{p}_T$ bin is obtained by the fit mean $\langle x \rangle$ and variance $\sigma^2(x)$:
|
|---|
| 625 | \begin{equation}
|
|---|
| 626 | %\frac{\sigma(R_{jet})}{\langle R_{jet} \rangle }=
|
|---|
| 627 | \frac{\sigma \Big (\frac{E_T^\textrm{rec}}{E_T^\textrm{MC}} \Big)_\textrm{fit}}{ \Big \langle \frac{E_T^\textrm{rec}}{E_T^\textrm{MC}} \Big \rangle_\textrm{fit}}~
|
|---|
| 628 | \Big( \hat{p}_T(i) \Big)\textrm{, for all }i.

|---|

|
|---|
| 639 |
|
|---|
| 640 | The resulting jet resolution as a function of $E_T^\textrm{MC}$ is shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:jetresolcms}.
|
|---|
| 641 | This distribution is fitted with a function of the following form:
|
|---|
| 642 | \begin{equation}
|
|---|
| 643 | \frac{a}{E_T^\textrm{MC}}\oplus \frac{b}{\sqrt{E_T^\textrm{MC}}}\oplus c,
|
|---|
| 644 | \label{eq:fitresolution}
|
|---|
| 645 | \end{equation}
|
|---|
| 646 | where $a$, $b$ and $c$ are the fit parameters.
|
|---|
| 647 | It is then compared to the resolution published by the \textsc{cms} collaboration~\cite{bib:cmsjetresolution}. The resolution curves from \textsc{Delphes} and \textsc{cms} are in good agreement.
|
|---|
| 648 |
|
|---|
| 649 | Similarly, the jet resolution is evaluated for an \textsc{atlas}-like detector. The $pp \rightarrow gg$ events are here arranged in $8$ adjacent bins in $p_T$. A $k_T$ reconstruction algorithm with $R=0.6$ is chosen and the maximal matching distance between the \textsc{mc}-jets and the reconstructed jets is set to $\Delta R=0.2$. The relative energy resolution is evaluated in each bin by:
|
|---|
| 650 | \begin{equation}
|
|---|
| 651 | \frac{\sigma(E)}{E} = \sqrt{ \Bigg \langle \Bigg( \frac{E^\textrm{rec} - E^\textrm{MC}}{E^\textrm{rec}} \Bigg)^2 \Bigg \rangle - \Bigg \langle \frac{E^\textrm{rec} - E^\textrm{MC}}{ E^\textrm{rec} } \Bigg \rangle^2}.
|
|---|
| 652 | \end{equation}
|
|---|
| 653 |
|
|---|
| 654 | Figure~\ref{fig:jetresolatlas} shows a good agreement between the resolution obtained with \textsc{Delphes}, the result of the fit with Equation~\ref{eq:fitresolution} and the corresponding curve provided by the \textsc{atlas} collaboration~\cite{bib:ATLASresolution}.

| 664 | \subsection{MET resolution}
|
|---|
| 665 |
|
|---|
| 666 | All major detectors at hadron colliders have been designed to be as much hermetic as possible in order to detect the presence of one or more neutrinos and/or new weakly interacting particles through apparent missing transverse energy.
|
|---|
| 667 | The resolution of the $\overrightarrow{E_T}^\textrm{miss}$ variable, as obtained with \textsc{Delphes}, is then crucial.
|
|---|
| 668 |
|
|---|
| 669 | The samples used to study the \textsc{met} performance are identical to those used for the jet validation.
|
|---|
| 670 | It is worth noting that the contribution to $E_T^\textrm{miss}$ from muons is negligible in the studied sample.
|
|---|
| 671 | The input samples are divided in five bins of scalar $E_T$ sums $(\Sigma E_T)$. This sum, called \textit{total visible transverse energy}, is defined as the scalar sum of transverse energy in all towers.
|
|---|
| 672 | The quality of the \textsc{met} reconstruction is checked via the resolution on its horizontal component $E_x^\textrm{miss}$.
|
|---|
| 673 |
|
|---|
| 674 | The $E_x^\textrm{miss}$ resolution is evaluated in the following way.
|
|---|
| 675 | The distribution of the difference between $E_x^\textrm{miss}$ in \textsc{Delphes} and at generator-level is fitted with a Gaussian function in each $(\Sigma E_T)$ bin. The fit \textsc{rms} gives the \textsc{met} resolution in each bin.
|
|---|
| 676 | The resulting value is plotted in Fig.~\ref{fig:resolETmis} as a function of the total visible transverse
|
|---|
| 677 | energy, for \textsc{cms}- and \textsc{atlas}-like detectors.
|
|---|
| 678 |

|
|---|
| 686 | \end{figure}
|
|---|
| 687 |
|
|---|
| 688 | The resolution $\sigma_x$ of the horizontal component of \textsc{met} is observed to behave like
|
|---|
| 689 | \begin{equation}
|
|---|
| 690 | \sigma_x = \alpha ~\sqrt{E_T}~~~(\mathrm{GeV}^{1/2}),
|
|---|
| 691 | \end{equation}
|
|---|
| 692 | where the $\alpha$ parameter depends on the resolution of the calorimeters.
|
|---|
| 693 |
|
|---|
| 694 | The \textsc{met} resolution expected for the \textsc{cms} detector for similar events is $\sigma_x = (0.6-0.7) ~ \sqrt{E_T} ~ \mathrm{GeV}^{1/2}$ with no pile-up\footnote{\textit{Pile-up} events are extra simultaneous $pp$ collision occurring at high-luminosity in the same bunch crossing.}~\cite{bib:cmsjetresolution}, which compares very well with the $\alpha = 0.63$ obtained with \textsc{Delphes}. Similarly, for an \textsc{atlas}-like detector, a value of $0.53$ is obtained by \textsc{Delphes} for the $\alpha$ parameter, while the experiment expects it in the range $[0.53~ ;~0.57]$~\cite{bib:ATLASresolution}.
|
|---|
| 695 |
|
|---|
| 696 | \subsection{\texorpdfstring{$\tau$}{\texttau}-jet efficiency}
|
|---|
| 697 | Due to the complexity of their reconstruction algorithm, $\tau$-jets have also to be checked.
|
|---|
| 698 | Table~\ref{tab:taurecoefficiency} lists the reconstruction efficiencies in \textsc{Delphes} for the hadronic $\tau-$jets from $H,Z \rightarrow \tau^+ \tau^-$. The mass of the Higgs boson is set successively to $140$ and $300~\textrm{GeV}/c^2$. The inclusive gauge boson productions ($pp \rightarrow HX$ an
|
|---|
| 699 | d $pp \rightarrow ZX$) are performed with \textsc{MadGraph/MadEvent} and the $\tau$ lepton decay and further hadronisation are handled by \textsc{Pythia/
|
|---|
| 700 | Tauola}. All reconstructed $\tau$-jets are $1-$prong, and follow the definition described in section~\ref{btagging}, which is very close to an algorithm
|
|---|
| 701 | of the \textsc{cms} experiment~\cite{bib:cmstauresolution}. At last, corresponding efficiencies published by the \textsc{cms} and \textsc{atlas} experim
|
|---|
| 702 | ents are quoted for comparison. The agreement is good enough at this level to validate the $\tau-$reconstruction.

|
|---|
| 732 |
|
|---|
| 733 | When performing an event analysis, a visualisation tool is useful to convey information about the detector layout and the event topology in a simple way. The \textit{Fast and Realistic OpenGL Displayer} \textsc{frog}~\cite{bib:Frog} has been interfaced in \textsc{Delphes}, allowing an easy display of the defined detector configuration\footnote{\texttt{[code] } To prepare the visualisation, the \texttt{FLAG\_frog} parameter should be equal to $1$.}.

|

| 749 | Two and three-dimensional representations of the detector configuration can be used for communication purposes, as they clearly illustrate the geometric coverage of the different detector subsystems.
|
|---|
| 750 | As an example, the generic detector geometry assumed in this paper is shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:GenDet3}

| 752 | and~\ref{fig:GenDet2}.
|
|---|
| 753 | The extensions of the central tracking system, the central calorimeters and both forward calorimeters are visible.
|
|---|
| 754 | Note that only the geometrical coverage is depicted and that the calorimeter segmentation is not taken into account in the drawing of the detector. Moreover, both the radius and the length of each sub-detectors are just display parameters and are not relevant for the physics simulation.

| 764 | Deeper understanding of interesting physics processes is possible by displaying the events themselves.
|
|---|
| 765 | The visibility of each set of objects ($e^\pm$, $\mu^\pm$, $\tau^\pm$, jets, transverse missing energy) is enhanced by a colour coding.
|
|---|
| 766 | Moreover, kinematics information of each object is visible by a simple mouse action.
|
|---|
| 767 | As an illustration, an associated photoproduction of a $W$ boson and a $t$ quark is shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:wt}.
|
|---|
| 768 | This corresponds to a $pp(\gamma p \rightarrow Wt)pX$ process, where the $Wt$ couple is induced by an incoming photon emitted by one of the colliding proton~\cite{bib:wtphotoproduction}.
|
|---|
| 769 | This leading proton survives after photon emission and is present in the final state.
|
|---|
| 770 | As the energy and virtuality of the emitted photon are low, the surviving proton does not leave the beam and escapes from the central detector without being detected.
|
|---|
| 771 | The experimental signature is a lack of hadronic activity in the forward hemisphere where the surviving proton escapes.
|
|---|
| 772 | The $t$ quark decays into a $W$ boson and a $b$ quark.
|
|---|
| 773 | Both $W$ bosons decay into leptons ($W \rightarrow \mu \nu_\mu$ and $W \rightarrow e \nu_e$).
|
|---|
| 774 | The balance between the missing transverse energy and the charged lepton pair is clear, as well as the presence of an empty forward region. It is interesting to notice that the reconstruction algorithms build a fake $\tau$-jet around the electron.

|
|---|
| 805 | % We have described here the major features of the \textsc{Delphes} framework, introduced for the fast simulation of a collider experiment.
|
|---|
| 806 | % It has already been used for several phenomenological studies, in particular in photon interactions at the \textsc{lhc}.
|
|---|
| 807 | %
|
|---|
| 808 | % \textsc{Delphes} takes the output of event generators, in various formats, and yields analysis-object data.
|
|---|
| 809 | % The simulation applies the resolutions of central and forward detectors by smearing the kinematical properties of final state particles.
|
|---|
| 810 | % It yields tracks in a solenoidal magnetic field and calorimetric towers.
|
|---|
| 811 | % Realistic reconstruction algorithms are run, including the \textsc{FastJet} package, to produce collections of $e^\pm$, $\mu^\pm$, jets and $\tau$-jets. $b$-tag and missing transverse energy are also evaluated.
|
|---|
| 812 | % The output is validated by comparing to the \textsc{cms} expected performances.
|
|---|
| 813 | % A trigger stage can be emulated on the output data.

|
|---|
| 821 | We have described here the major features of the \textsc{Delphes} framework, introduced for the fast simulation of a collider experiment. This framework is a tool meant for feasibility studies in phenomenology, gauging the observability of model predictions in collider experiments.
|
|---|
| 822 |
|
|---|
| 823 | \textsc{Delphes} takes as an input the output of event-generators and yields analysis-object data in the form of \texttt{TTree} in a \textsc{root} file.
|
|---|
| 824 | The simulation includes central and forward detectors to produce realistic observables using standard reconstruction algorithms.
|
|---|
| 825 | Moreover, the framework allows trigger emulation and 3D event visualisation.
|
|---|
| 826 |
|
|---|
| 827 | \textsc{Delphes} has been developed using the parameters of the \textsc{cms} experiment but can be easily extended to \textsc{atlas} and other non-\textsc{lhc} experiments, as at Tevatron or at the \textsc{ilc}. Further developments include a more flexible design for the subdetector assembly and possibly the implementation of an event mixing module for pile-up event simulation.
|
|---|
| 828 |
|
|---|
| 829 | This framework has already been used for several analyses, in particular in photon-induced interactions at the \textsc{lhc}~\cite{bib:wtphotoproduction, bib:papierquisortirajamais, bib:papiersimon}.

|
|---|
| 892 | The available \texttt{C++}-code is compressed in a zipped tar file which contains everything needed to run the \textsc{Delphes} package, assuming a running \textsc{root} installation. The package includes \texttt{ExRootAnalysis}~\cite{bib:ExRootAnalysis}, \textsc{Hector}~\cite{bib:Hector}, \textsc{FastJet}~\cite{bib:FastJet}, and \textsc{Frog}~\cite{bib:Frog}, as well as the conversion codes to read standard \mbox{\textsc{s}td\textsc{hep}} input files (\texttt{mcfio} and \texttt{stdhep})~\cite{bib:mcfio} and \textsc{HepMC}~\cite{bib:hepmc}.
|
|---|
| 893 | In order to visualise the events with the \textsc{Frog} software, a few additional external libraries may be required, as explained in \href{http://projects.hepforge.org/frog/}{http://projects.hepforge.org/frog/}.
|
|---|
| 894 |
|
|---|
| 895 | \subsection{Getting started}
|
|---|
| 896 |
|
|---|
| 897 | In order to run \textsc{Delphes} on your system, first download its sources and compile them:\\
|
|---|
| 898 | \texttt{wget http://www.fynu.ucl.ac.be/users/s.ovyn/Delphes/files/Delphes\_V\_*.tar.gz}\\
|
|---|
| 899 | Replace the \texttt{*} symbol by the proper version number\footnote{Refer to the download page on the \textsc{Delphes} website \href{http://www.fynu.ucl.ac.be/users/s.ovyn/Delphes/download.html}{http://www.fynu.ucl.ac.be/users/s.ovyn/Delphes/download.html}. Current version of \textsc{Delphes} for this manual is V 1.8 (July 2009)}.

|
|---|
| 902 | \begin{verbatim}
|
|---|
| 903 | me@mylaptop:~$ tar -xvf Delphes_V_*.tar.gz
|
|---|
| 904 | me@mylaptop:~$ cd Delphes_V_*.*
|
|---|
| 905 | me@mylaptop:~$ ./genMakefile.tcl > Makefile
|
|---|
| 906 | me@mylaptop:~$ make
|
|---|
| 907 | \end{verbatim}
|
|---|
| 908 | \end{quote}
|
|---|
| 909 | Due to the large number of external utilities, the number of printed lines during the compilation can be high. The user should not pay attention to possible warning messages, which are due to the external packages used by \textsc{Delphes}. When compilation is completed, the following message is printed:
|
|---|
| 910 | \begin{quote}
|
|---|
| 911 | \begin{verbatim}
|
|---|
| 912 | me@mylaptop:~$ Delphes has been compiled
|
|---|
| 913 | me@mylaptop:~$ Ready to run
|
|---|
| 914 | \end{verbatim}
|
|---|
| 915 | \end{quote}
|
|---|
| 916 |
|
|---|
| 917 | \subsection{Running \textsc{Delphes} on your events}
|
|---|
| 918 |
|
|---|
| 919 | In this sub-appendix, we will explain how to use \textsc{Delphes} to perform a fast simulation of a general-purpose detector on your event files. The first step to use \textsc{Delphes} is to create the list of input event files (e.g.\ {\verb inputlist.list }). It is important to notice that all the files comprised in the list file should have the same of extension (\texttt{*.hep}, \texttt{*.lhe}, \texttt{*.hepmc} or \texttt{*.root}). In the simplest way to run \textsc{Delphes}, you need this input file and you need to specify the name of the output file that will contain the generator-level data (\texttt{GEN} tree), the analysis data objects after reconstruction (\texttt{Analysis} tree), and the results of the trigger emulation (\texttt{Trigger} tree).

|

| 927 | \subsubsection{Setting up the configuration}
|
|---|
| 928 |
|
|---|
| 929 | The program is driven by two datacards (default cards are {\verb data/DetectorCard.dat } and {\verb data/TriggerCard.dat }) which allow the user to choose among a large spectrum of running conditions. Please note that if the user does not provide these datacards, the running will be done using the default parameters defined in the constructor of the class \texttt{RESOLution} (see next). If you choose a different detector or running configuration, you will need to edit the datacards accordingly. Detector and trigger cards are provided in the \texttt{data/} subdirectory for the \textsc{cms} and \textsc{atlas} experiments.
|
|---|
| 930 |
|
|---|
| 931 | \begin{enumerate}
|
|---|
| 932 | \item{\bf The detector card }
|
|---|
| 933 | It contains all pieces of information needed to run \textsc{Delphes}:
|
|---|
| 934 | \begin{itemize}
|
|---|
| 935 | \item detector parameters, including calorimeter and tracking coverage and resolutions, transverse energy thresholds for object reconstruction and jet algorithm parameters.
|
|---|
| 936 | \item six flags ({\verb FLAG_bfield }, {\verb FLAG_vfd }, {\verb FLAG_RP }, {\verb FLAG_trigger }, {\verb FLAG_frog } and {\verb FLAG_lhco }), should be set in order to configure the magnetic field propagation, the very forward detectors simulation, the use of very forward taggers, the trigger selection, the preparation for \textsc{Frog} display and the creation of an output file in \texttt{*.lhco} text format (respectively).
|
|---|
| 937 | \end{itemize}
|
|---|
| 938 |
|
|---|
| 939 | If no datacard is provided by the user, the default smearing and running parameters are used:

For version 1.7 and earlier, the parameters related to the calorimeter endcaps (\texttt{CEN\_max\_calo\_ec}, \texttt{ELG\_Sec}, \texttt{ELG\_Nec}, \texttt{ELG\_Cec}, \texttt{HAD\_Sec}, \texttt{HAD\_Nec} and \texttt{HAD\_Cec}) did not exist in the detector cards; in addition, some other variables had different names (\texttt{HAD\_Scen} was \texttt{HAD\_Sfcal}, \texttt{HAD\_Ncen} was \texttt{HAD\_Nfcal}, \texttt{HAD\_Ccen} was \texttt{HAD\_Cfcal}, \texttt{HAD\_Sfwd} was \texttt{HAD\_Shf}, \texttt{HAD\_Nfwd} was \texttt{HAD\_Nhf}, \texttt{HAD\_Cfwd} was \texttt{HAD\_Chf}). However, these cards are still completely compatible with new versions of \textsc{Delphes}. In such a case, the calorimeter endcaps are simply assumed to be located at the edge of the central calorimeter volumes, with the same resolution values.

| 1105 | \item{\bf The trigger card }
|

| 1106 |
|
|---|
| 1107 | This card contains the definitions of all trigger-bits. Cuts can be applied on the transverse momentum $p_T$ of electrons, muons, jets, $\tau$-jets, photons and the missing transverse energy. The following codes should be used so that \textsc{Delphes} can correctly translate the input list of trigger-bits into selection algorithms:

| 1124 | Each line in the trigger datacard is allocated to exactly one trigger-bit and starts with the name of the corresponding trigger.
|
|---|
| 1125 | Logical combination of several conditions is also possible. If the trigger-bit requires the presence of multiple identical objects, the order of their $p_T$ thresholds is very important: they must be defined in \textit{decreasing} order. The transverse momentum $p_T$ is expressed in \mbox{GeV/$c$}. Finally, the different requirements on the objects must be separated by a {\verb && } flag.
|
|---|
| 1126 | The default trigger card can be found in the data repository of \textsc{Delphes} (\texttt{data/TriggerCard.dat}), as well as for both \textsc{cms} and \textsc{atlas} experiments at the \textsc{lhc}.

| 1137 | \subsubsection{Running the code}
|
|---|
| 1138 |
|
|---|
| 1139 | First, create the detector and trigger cards (\texttt{data/DetectorCard.dat} and \texttt{data/TriggerCard.dat}). \\
|
|---|
| 1140 | Then, create a text file containing the list of input files that will be used by \textsc{Delphes} (with extension \texttt{*.lhe}, \texttt{*.hepmc}, \texttt{*.root} or \texttt{*.hep}).
|
|---|
| 1141 | To run the code, type the following command (in one line)
|
|---|
| 1142 | \begin{quote}
|
|---|
| 1143 | \begin{verbatim}
|
|---|
| 1144 | me@mylaptop:~$ ./Delphes inputlist.list OutputRootFileName.root
|
|---|
| 1145 | data/DetectorCard.dat data/TriggerCard.dat
|
|---|
| 1146 | \end{verbatim}
|
|---|
| 1147 | \end{quote}
|
|---|
| 1148 | As a reminder, typing the \texttt{./Delphes} command simply displays the correct usage:

|
|---|
| 1154 | input_list - list of files in Ntpl, StdHep, HepMC or LHEF format,
|
|---|
| 1155 | output_file - output file.
|

| 1156 | detector_card - Card containing resolution variables for detector simulation (optional)
|

| 1164 | \subsubsection{Contents of the \textsc{Delphes} ROOT trees}
|
|---|
| 1165 |
|
|---|
| 1166 | The \textsc{Delphes} output file (\texttt{*.root}) is subdivided into three \textit{trees}, corresponding to generator-level data, analysis-object data and trigger output. These \textit{trees} are structures that organise the output data into \textit{branches} containing data (or \textit{leaves}) related with each others, like the kinematics properties ($E$, $p_x$, $\eta$, $\ldots$) of a given particle.
|
|---|
| 1167 |
|

| 1168 | Here is the exhaustive list of \textit{branches} availables in these \textit{trees}, together with their corresponding physical objet and \texttt{ExRootAnalysis} C++ class name:

|
|---|
| 1319 |
|
|---|
| 1320 | To analyse the \textsc{root} ntuple produced by \textsc{Delphes}, the simplest way is to use the {\verb Analysis_Ex.cpp } code which is coming in the {\verb Examples } repository of \textsc{Delphes}. Note that all of this is optional and done to facilitate the analyses, as the output from \textsc{Delphes} is viewable with the standard \textsc{root} \texttt{TBrowser} and can be analysed using the \texttt{MakeClass} facility.
|

| 1366 | To draw a particular leaf, either double-click on the corresponding name in the \texttt{TBrowser} or use the \texttt{Draw} method of the corresponding \textit{tree}.

| 1372 | Mathematical operations on several \textit{leaves} are possible within a given \textit{tree}, following the C++ syntax:

| 1373 | \begin{quote}
|
|---|
| 1374 | \begin{verbatim}
|
|---|
| 1375 | root [8] Analysis->Draw("Muon.Px * Muon.Px");

|
|---|
| 1378 | \end{quote}
|
|---|
| 1379 | Finally, to prepare an deeper analysis, the \texttt{MakeClass} method is useful. It creates two files (\texttt{*.h} and \texttt{*.C}) with automatically generated code that allows the access to all branches and leaves of the corresponding tree:
|
|---|
| 1380 | \begin{quote}
|
|---|
| 1381 | \begin{verbatim}
|
|---|
| 1382 | root [10] Trigger->MakeClass()
|

| 1383 | Info in <TTreePlayer::MakeClass>: Files: Trigger.h and

| 1384 | Trigger.C generated from TTree: Trigger
|

| 1385 | \end{verbatim}
|
|---|
| 1386 | \end{quote}
|
|---|
| 1387 | For more information, refer to ROOT documentation. Moreover, an example of code (based on the output of \begin{verbatim}MakeClass\end{verbatim}) is provided in the \texttt{Examples/} directory.
|
|---|
| 1388 |
|
|---|
| 1389 | To run the \texttt{Examples/Analysis\_Ex.cpp} code, the two following arguments are required: a text file containing the input \textsc{Delphes} \textsc{root} files to run, and the name of the output \textsc{root} file.
|
|---|
| 1390 | \begin{quote}
|

| 1394 | \end{quote}
|
|---|
| 1395 | One can easily edit, modify and compile (\texttt{make}) changes in this file.
|

| 1396 |
|
|---|
| 1397 | \subsubsection{Adding the trigger information}
|
|---|
| 1398 | The \texttt{Examples/Trigger\_Only.cpp} code permits to run the trigger selection separately from the general detector simulation on output \textsc{Delphes} root files. A \textsc{Delphes} root file is mandatory as an input argument for the \texttt{Trigger\_Only} routine. The new \textit{tree} containing the trigger result data will be appended to this file.
|
|---|
| 1399 | The trigger datacard is also necessary. To run the code:
|
|---|
| 1400 | \begin{quote}
|
|---|
| 1401 | \begin{verbatim}
|

|

| 1407 |
|
|---|
| 1408 | \begin{itemize}
|
|---|
| 1409 | \item If the { \verb FLAG_frog } was switched on in the smearing card, two files have been created during the running of \textsc{Delphes}: {\verb DelphesToFrog.vis } and {\verb DelphesToFrog.geom }. They contain all the needed pieces of information to run \textsc{frog}.
|
|---|
| 1410 | \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 }. This compilation is done once for all, with this geometry (i.e.\ as long as the \texttt{*vis} and \texttt{*geom} files do not change).
|
|---|
| 1411 | \item Go back into the main directory and type

| 1417 | \subsection{LHCO file format}
|
|---|
| 1418 | The \texttt{*lhco} file format is a text-\textsc{ascii} data format briefly discussed here. An exhaustive description is provided on \href{http://v1.jthaler.net/olympicswiki}{http://v1.jthaler.net/olympicswiki}. This section is based on this webpage.
|
|---|
| 1419 | Only final high-level objects are available in the \texttt{lhco} format, and their properties are arranged in columns. Each row corresponds to an object in the event and all events are written after each other. Comment-lines starts with a hash \texttt{\#} symbol.

| 1432 | Each row in an event starts with a unique number (i.e.\ in first column).
|
|---|
| 1433 | Row \texttt{0} contains the event number (here: \texttt{57}) and some trigger information (here: \texttt{0}. This very particular trigger encoding is not implemented in \textsc{Delphes}.).
|
|---|
| 1434 | Subsequent rows list the reconstructed high-level objects.
|
|---|
| 1435 | Each row is organised in columns, which details the object kinematics as well as more specific information, such as isolation criteria or $b$-tagging.
|
|---|
| 1436 |
|
|---|
| 1437 | \paragraph{1st column (\texttt{\#})}
|
|---|
| 1438 | The first column is the line number in the event. Each event starts with a 0 and contains as many lines as needed to list all high-level objects.
|
|---|
| 1439 |
|
|---|
| 1440 | \paragraph{2nd column (\texttt{typ})}
|
|---|
| 1441 | The second column gives the object identification code, or \textit{type}.
|
|---|
| 1442 | The different object types are:\\
|
|---|
| 1443 | \begin{tabular}{ll}
|
|---|
| 1444 | \texttt{0}& for a photon ($\gamma$)\\
|
|---|
| 1445 | \texttt{1}& for an electron ($e^\pm$)\\
|
|---|
| 1446 | \texttt{2}& for a muon ($\mu^\pm$)\\
|
|---|
| 1447 | \texttt{3}& for a hadronically-decaying tau ($\tau$-jet)\\
|
|---|
| 1448 | \texttt{4}& for a jet\\
|
|---|
| 1449 | \texttt{6}& for a missing transverse energy ($E_T^\textrm{miss}$)\\
|
|---|
| 1450 | \end{tabular}\\
|
|---|
| 1451 | Object type \texttt{5} is not defined.
|
|---|
| 1452 | An event always ends with the row corresponding to the missing transverse energy (type \texttt{6}).
|
|---|
| 1453 |
|
|---|
| 1454 | \paragraph{3rd (\texttt{eta}) and 4th (\texttt{phi}) columns}
|
|---|
| 1455 | The third and forth columns gives the object pseudorapidity $\eta$ and azimuth $\phi$. This latter quantity is expressed in radians, ranging from $-\pi$ to $\pi$.
|
|---|
| 1456 |
|
|---|
| 1457 | \paragraph{5th (\texttt{pt}) and 6th (\texttt{jmass}) columns}
|
|---|
| 1458 | The fifth column provides the object transverse momentum ($p_T$ in GeV$/c$) or energy ($E_T$ in GeV), while the invariant mass ($M$ in GeV/$c^2$) is in the sixth column.
|
|---|
| 1459 |
|
|---|
| 1460 | \paragraph{7th column (\texttt{ntrk})}
|
|---|
| 1461 | The seventh column reports the total number of tracks associated to the objects. This is \texttt{0} for photons, \texttt{$\pm$ 1} for charged leptons including taus (where the sign reports the lepton measured charge) and a positive number (\texttt{$\geq$ 0}) for jets.
|
|---|
| 1462 |
|
|---|
| 1463 | \paragraph{8th column (\texttt{btag})}
|
|---|
| 1464 | The eighth column tells whether a jet is tagged as a $b$-jet (\texttt{1}) or not (\texttt{0}).
|
|---|
| 1465 | This is always \texttt{0} for electrons, photons and missing transverse energy.
|
|---|
| 1466 | For muons, the closest jet in searched for, in terms of $\Delta R$. The integer-part of the quoted number is the row-number (column 1) of this jet.
|
|---|
| 1467 |
|
|---|
| 1468 | \paragraph{9th column (\texttt{had/em})}
|
|---|
| 1469 | For jets, electrons and photons, the ninth column is the ration between hadronic and electromagnetic energies in the calorimetric towers associated to the object. This is always \texttt{0} for missing transverse energy.
|
|---|
| 1470 | For muons, this number (\texttt{aaa.bb}) reports two values related to the muon isolation (section \ref{sec:isolation}). The integer part (\texttt{aaa}) is transverse momentum sum $P_T$ (in GeV/$c$) and the fractional part (\texttt{bb}) is the energy ratio $\rho_\mu$.
|
|---|
| 1471 |
|
|---|
| 1472 |
|
|---|
| 1473 | \paragraph{10th and 11th columns (\texttt{dum1} and \texttt{dum2})}
|
|---|
| 1474 | The last two columns are currently not used.
|
|---|
| 1475 |
|
|---|
| 1476 | \paragraph{Warning}
|
|---|
| 1477 | Inherently to the data format itself, the \texttt{*lhco} output contains only a fraction of the available data. Moreover, dealing with text file may have various drawbacks, such as the output file size and the time needed for its creation. Whenever possible, working on the \texttt{*root} output file should be preferred.
