 system, and possible very forward detectors arranged along the beamline.
-The framework is interfaced to standard file format (e.g. Les Houches Event File) and outputs observable analysis data objects, like missing transverse energy and collections of electrons or jets.
-The simulation of detector response takes into account the detector resolution, and usual reconstruction algorithms for complex objects, like 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 Hector software.

-A fast simulation of a typical \textsc{lhc} multipurpose detector response can be used to obtain more realistic observables and fast approximate estimates of signal and background rates for specific channels. \textsc{Delphes} includes the most crucial detector apects as jet reconstruction, momentum/energy smearing for leptons, photons and hadrons and missing transverse energy. Starting from ``particle-level" information, the package provides reconstructed jets, isolated leptons, photons, reconstructed charged tracks, calorimeter towers and the expected transverse missing energy. Although this kind of approach yields much realistic results than a simple ``parton-level" analysis, a quick simulation comes at the expense of detector details. Therefore, the interactions not simulated in \textsc{Delphes} are: secondary interactions, multiple interactions, photon conversion, electron Bremsstrahlung, magnetic field effects, detector dead materials.\\
-
-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. Three varieties of input files can currently be used as input in \textsc{Delphes}. In order to process events from many different generators, the standard Monte Carlo event structure StdHep 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 {\bf h2root} converter program. This first stage is performed using three C++ classes: {\verb HEPEVTConverter }, {\verb LHEFConverter } and {\verb STDHEPConverter }. 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. The output of the various C++ classes is stored in the {\it Analysis} tree. The program is driven by a datacard (data/DataCardDet.dat) which allow a large spectrum of running conditions by modifying basic detector parameters, including calorimeter and tracking coverage and resolution, thresholds or jet algorithm parameters.\\

+Experiments 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, with different principles, technologies, geometries and sensitivities. Then, due to the requirement of a highly effective online selection (i.e. a \textit{trigger}) which is subdivided into several levels for an optimal reduction factor, but based only on partial data. Finally, in terms of the experiment software with different data format (like \textit{raw} or \textit{reconstructed} data), many reconstruction algorithms and particle identification schemes.
+
+This 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.
+
+A new framework, called \textsc{Delphes}~\cite{bib:Delphes}, is introduced here, for the fast simulation of a general purpose collider experiment. 
+Using 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. 
+Starting 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.
+
+\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}).

+
+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 craks nor dead material. Secondary interactions, multiple scatterings, photon conversion and bremsstrahlung are also neglected.

 \subsection{Jet reconstruction}
 
-Jets are reconstructed using a cone algorithm with $R=0.7$ and make only use of the smeared particle momenta. The reconstructed jets are required to have a transverse momentum above 20~GeV and $|\eta|<3.0$. A jet is tagged as $b$-jets if its direction lies in the acceptance of the tracker, $|\eta|<0.5$, 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.\\
-
-\subsection{{\it b}tagging}
-
-The simulation of the b-tagging is based on the detector efficiencies assumed (1) for the tagging of a b-jet and (2) for the mis-identification of other jets as b-jets. This relies on 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.

 \section{Visualisation}
 
+
+As 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 $W \rightarrow \tau \nu_\tau$).

The $\tau$-jet is the cone around the green vector, while the reconstructed missing energy is shown in gray. One jet is visible in one forward region, along the beamline axis, opposite to the direction of the escaping proton.}
