r516 r517 256 256 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. 257 257 258 \subsection{Very forward detectors simulation} 259 260 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. 261 Zero Degree Calorimeters (\textsc{zdc}) are located at zero angle, i.e.\ are aligned with the beamline axis at the interaction point, and placed beyond the point where the paths of incoming and outgoing beams separate (Fig.~\ref{fig:fdets}). 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}). 262 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. To be able to reach these detectors, such particles must have a charge identical to the beam particles, and a momentum very close to the nominal value for 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}). 263 264 \begin{figure}[!h] 258 \subsection{Very forward detector simulation} 259 260 Most of the recent experiments in beam colliders have additional instrumentation along the beamline.

In \textsc{Delphes}, Zero Degree Calorimeters, roman pots and forward taggers have been implemented (Fig.~\ref{fig:fdets}). 261 262 \begin{figure}[!ht] 265 263 \begin{center} 266 264 \includegraphics[width=\columnwidth]{fdets} 265 %\includegraphics[width=\columnwidth]{fig4} 267 266 \caption{Default location of the very forward detectors, including \textsc{zdc}, \textsc{rp220} and \textsc{fp420} in the \textsc{lhc} beamline. 268 Incoming ( red) and outgoing (black) beams on one side of the interaction point ($s=0~\textrm{m}$).267 Incoming (beam 1, red) and outgoing (beam 2, black) beams on one side of the fifth interaction point (\textsc{ip}5, $s=0~\textrm{m}$ on the plot). 269 268 The Zero Degree Calorimeter is located in perfect alignment with the beamline axis at the interaction point, at $140~\textrm{m}$, the beam paths are separated.

The \textsc{lhc} beamline is assumed around the fifth \textsc{lhc} interaction point (\textsc{ip}). For the \textsc{zdc}, the acceptance depends only on the pseudorapidity $\eta$ of the particle, which should be neutral and stable. 277 276 The tagger acceptance is fully determined by the distance in the transverse plane of the detector to the real beam position~\cite{bib:Hector}. It is expressed in terms of the particle energy ($E$). 277 All detectors are located on both sides of the interaction point. 278 278 \vspace{0.5cm}} 279 279 \begin{tabular}{llcl} 280 280 \hline 281 281 Detector & Distance from \textsc{ip}& Acceptance & \\ \hline 282 \textsc{zdc} & $ 140$ m & $|\eta|> 8.3$ & for $n$ and $\gamma$\\283 \textsc{rp220} & $ 220$ m & $E \in [6100 ; 6880]$ (GeV) & at $2~\textrm{mm}$\\284 \textsc{fp420} & $ 420$ m & $E \in [6880 ; 6980]$ (GeV) & at $4~\textrm{mm}$\\282 \textsc{zdc} & $\pm 140$ m & $|\eta|> 8.3$ & for $n$ and $\gamma$\\ 283 \textsc{rp220} & $\pm 220$ m & $E \in [6100 ; 6880]$ (GeV) & at $2~\textrm{mm}$\\ 284 \textsc{fp420} & $\pm 420$ m & $E \in [6880 ; 6980]$ (GeV) & at $4~\textrm{mm}$\\ 285 285 \hline 286 286 \end{tabular} … … 290 290 291 291 292 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. 293 294 Some subdetectors have the ability to measure the time of flight of the particle. 295 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 time of flight measurement of \textsc{zdc} and \textsc{fp420} detector is implemented here. For the \textsc{zdc}, the formula is simply 292 \subsubsection*{Zero Degree Calorimeters} 293 294 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}). 295 296 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. 297 298 The \textsc{zdc}s have the ability to measure the time-of-flight of the particle. 299 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: 296 300 \begin{equation} 297 301 t = t_0 + \frac{1}{v} \times \Big( \frac{s-z}{\cos \theta}\Big), 298 302 \end{equation} 299 where $t $ is the time of flight, $t_0$ 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 assumesthat 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 $1 - \cos \theta < 10^{-4}$.303 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 $1 - \cos \theta < 10^{-4}$. 300 304 The formula then reduces to 301 305 \begin{equation} 302 t = \frac{1}{c} \times (s-z) 306 t = \frac{1}{c} \times (s-z). 303 307 \end{equation} 304 For example, a photon takes $0.47~\mu\textrm{s}$ to reach a \textsc{zdc} located at $s=140~\textrm{m}$, neglecting $z$ and $\theta$, and assuming that $v=c$. Only neutrons and photons are currently assumed to be able to reach the \textsc{zdc}. All other particles are neglected in the \textsc{zdc}. 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 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. 308 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. 309 310 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. 305 311 306 312 \begin{table}[!h] 307 313 \begin{center} 308 \caption{Default values for the resolution of the zero degree calorimeters.

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). 338 339 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}). 340 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}. 341 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. 342 343 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. 344 345 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.}. 326 346 327 347
