    123123In 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.

    125 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
    126 preselection.

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.

    168167\subsubsection*{Magnetic field}
    169 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.
     168In 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.

    189 The particle four-momentum $p^\mu$ are smeared with a parametrisation directly derived from typical detector technical designs\footnote{\texttt{[code] }~\cite{bib:cmsjetresolution,bib:ATLASresolution}. The response of the detector is applied to the electromagnetic and the hadronic particles through the \texttt{SmearElectron} and \texttt{SmearHadron} functions.}.

    190189In 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.
    191190Muons 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.}.
     
    575574\textsc{Delphes} performs a fast simulation of a collider experiment.
    576575Its 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.
    577 The quality and validity of the output are assessed by comparing to resolution of the reconstructed data to the \textsc{cms} detector expectations.
    578 
    579 Electrons and muons are by construction equal to the experiment designs, as the Gaussian smearing of their kinematics properties is defined according to their resolutions.
    580 Similarly, the $b$-tagging efficiency (for real $b$-jets) and misidentification rates (for fake $b$-jets) are taken from the expected values of the experiment.
     576The 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.

    581581Unlike these simple objects, jets and missing transverse energy should be carefully cross-checked.
    582582
     
    586586This validation is based on $pp \rightarrow gg$ events produced with \textsc{MadGraph/MadEvent} and hadronised using \textsc{Pythia}~\cite{bib:mgme,bib:pythia}.

    588 For a \textsc{cms}-like detector, a similar procedure as the one explained in public results is applied here.

    589589The 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
    590590\begin{equation}
    591591\Delta R = \sqrt{ \big(\eta^\textrm{rec} - \eta^\textrm{MC} \big)^2 +  \big(\phi^\textrm{rec} - \phi^\textrm{MC} \big)^2}<0.25.
    592592\end{equation}
    593 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.

    594594Jets produced by \textsc{Delphes} and satisfying the matching criterion are called hereafter \textit{reconstructed jets}.
    595595All jets are computed with the clustering algorithm (\textsc{jetclu}) with a cone radius $R$ of $0.7$.
