    128128\section{Introduction}
    129129
    130 % 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.
    131 
    132130Multipurpose detectors at high energy colliders are very complex systems. Their simulation is in general performed by means of the GEANT~\citep{bib:geant} package and final observables used for analyses usually require sophisticated reconstruction algorithms.
    133131
     
    138136
    139137A new framework, called \textit{Delphes}~\citep{bib:delphes}, is introduced here, for the fast simulation of a general-purpose collider experiment.
    140 Using the framework, observables can be estimated for specific signal and background channels, as well as their production and measurement rates.
    141 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 (i.e. those considered as stable by the event generator
    142 \footnote{In the current \textit{Delphes} version, particles other than electrons ($e^\pm$), photons ($\gamma$), muons ($\mu^\pm$), neutrinos ($\nu_e$, $\nu_\mu$ and $\nu_\tau$) and neutralinos 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~\citep{qr:invisibleparticles}.}). Tracks of charged particles and deposits of energy in calorimetric cells (or \textit{calotowers}) are then created. These two types of quantities are used for the reconstruction of jets and the isolation of leptons.
     138Using this framework, observables such as cross-sections and efficiencies after event selection can be estimated for specific reactions.

    144143\textit{Delphes} includes the most crucial experimental features, such as (Fig.~\ref{fig:FlowChart}):
    145144\begin{enumerate}
    146145\item the geometry of both central and forward detectors,
    147 \item magnetic field for tracks and energy flow
    148 \item reconstruction of photons, leptons, jets, $b$-jets, $\tau$-jets and missing transverse energy,
    149 \item lepton isolation,
    150 \item trigger emulation,
     146\item the effect of magnetic field on tracks,
     147\item the reconstruction of photons, leptons, jets, $b$-jets, $\tau$-jets and missing transverse energy,
     148\item a lepton isolation,
     149\item a trigger emulation,

    169 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.
    170 
    171 Several datafile formats can be used as input in \textit{Delphes} \citep{qr:inputformat},

The standard Monte Carlo event structures \texttt{StdHEP}~\citep{bib:stdhep} and \texttt{HepMC}~\citep{bib:hepmc} can be used as an input. Besides, \textit{Delphes} can also provide detector response for events read in ``Les Houches Event Format'' (\textsc{LHEF}~\citep{bib:lhe}) and \texttt{*.root} files obtained from \texttt{*.hbook} using the \texttt{h2root} utility from the \textsc{ROOT} framework~\citep{bib:Root}.

    186185The overall layout of the multipurpose detector simulated by \textit{Delphes} is shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:GenDet3}.
    187 It consists in a central tracking system (\textsc{TRACKER}) surrounded by an electromagnetic and a hadron calorimeters (\textsc{ECAL} and \textsc{HCAL}, 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.

    188190A detector card \citep{qr:detectorcard} allows a large spectrum of running conditions by modifying basic detector parameters, including calorimeter and tracking coverage and resolution, thresholds or jet algorithm parameters.
    189191Even if \textit{Delphes} has been developped for the simulation of general-purpose detectors at the \textsc{LHC} (namely, \textsc{CMS} and \textsc{ATLAS}), this input parameter file interfaces a flexible parametrisation for other cases, e.g.\ at future linear colliders~\citep{qr:datacards}.

    252256\subsection{Calorimetric cells}
    253257
    254 The response of the calorimeters to energy deposits of incoming particles depends on their segmentation and resolution. In CMS and ATLAS detectors, for instance, the calorimeter characteristics are not identical in every direction, with typically finer resolution and granularity in the central regions~\citep{bib:cmsjetresolution,bib:ATLASresolution}. It is thus very important to compute the exact coordinates of the entry point of the particles into the calorimeters, via the magnetic field calculations.
    255 
    256 The response of each sub-calorimeter is parametrised through a Gaussian smearing of the particle energy with a variance $\sigma$:
     258The response of the calorimeters to energy deposits of incoming particles depends on their segmentation and resolution, as well as on the nature of the particles themselves. In CMS and ATLAS detectors, for instance, the calorimeter characteristics are not identical in every direction, with typically finer resolution and granularity in the central regions~\citep{bib:cmsjetresolution,bib:ATLASresolution}. It is thus very important to compute the exact coordinates of the entry point of the particles into the calorimeters, via the magnetic field calculations.
     259
     260The smallest unit for geometrical sampling of the calorimeters is a \textit{cell}; it segments the $(\eta,\phi)$ plane for the energy measurement. No longitudinal segmentation is available in the simulated calorimeters. \textit{Delphes} assumes that ECAL and HCAL have the same segmentations and that the detector is symmetric in $\phi$ and with respect to the $\eta=0$ plane~\citep{qr:calorimetriccells}.

     273The calorimeter response is parametrised through a Gaussian smearing of the accumulated cell energy with a variance $\sigma$:
    257274\begin{equation}
    258275\frac{\sigma}{E} = \frac{S}{\sqrt{E}} \oplus \frac{N}{E} \oplus C,
     
    261278where $S$, $N$ and $C$ are the \textit{stochastic}, \textit{noise} and \textit{constant} terms, respectively, and $\oplus$ stands for quadratic additions~\citep{qr:energysmearing}.\\

    264 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.
     280In the default parametrisation, ECAL and HCAL are assumed to cover the pseudorapidity range $|\eta|<3$, and FCAL between $3.0$ and $5.0$, with different response to electromagnetic objects ($e^\pm, \gamma$) or hadrons.
    265281Muons and neutrinos are assumed not to interact with the calorimeters~\citep{qr:invisibleparticles}.

The simulation of stable particles beyond the Standard Model should therefore be handled with care.}.

    334 The energy of electrons and photons found in the particle list are smeared using only the \textsc{ECAL} resolution terms, while charged and neutral final-state hadrons interact with all calorimeters.
    335 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 by the generators 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

    361 No sharing between neighbouring cells is implemented when particles enter a cell very close to its geometrical edge. Due to the finite segmentation, the smearing, as defined in Eq.~\ref{eq:caloresolution}, is applied directly on the accumulated electromagnetic and hadronic energies of each calorimetric cell.

    367332
    368 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
    369 %\footnote{\texttt{[code] }All these processed data are located under the \texttt{Analysis} tree.}
    370 in the output file created by \textit{Delphes}~\citep{qr:analysistree}.
    371 In addition, some detector data are added: tracks, calorimetric cells and hits in the very forward detectors (\textsc{ZDC}, \textsc{RP220} and \textsc{FP420}, Sec.~\ref{sec:vfd}). 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.
     333The output file created by \textit{Delphes}~\citep{qr:analysistree} stores the final collections of particles ($e^\pm$, $\mu^\pm$, $\gamma$) and objects (light jets, $b$-jets, $\tau$-jets, $E_T^\textrm{miss}$). In addition, some detector data are added, such as tracks, calorimetric cells and hits in the very forward detectors (\textsc{ZDC}, \textsc{RP220} and \textsc{FP420}, see Sec.~\ref{sec:vfd}). While electrons, muons and photons are easily identified, other quantities are more difficult to evaluate as they rely on sophisticated algorithms (e.g. jets or missing energy).
    372334
    373335For most of these objects, their four-momentum and related quantities are directly accessible in \textit{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).

    375 \subsection{Photon and charged lepton reconstruction}
    376 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. The collections of electrons, photons and muons are filled in with candidates observing some fiducial and reconstruction cuts, and are based on the true particle ID provided by the generator. Consequently, no fake candidates enter these collections. However, when needed, fake candidates can be added into the collections at the analysis level, when processing \textit{Delphes} output data. As effects like bremsstrahlung are not taken into account along the lepton propagation in the tracker, no clustering is needed for the electron reconstruction in \textit{Delphes}.

     339
     340The electron, muon and photon collections contains only the true final-state particles identified via the generator-data.
     341In addition, these particles must pass fiducial cuts taking into account the magnetic field effects and some additional reconstruction cuts.

     343Consequently, no fake candidates enter these collections. However, when needed, fake candidates can be added into the collections at the analysis level, when processing \textit{Delphes} output data.

    378345\subsubsection*{Electrons and photons}
    379 Real electron ($e^\pm$) and photon candidates are identified 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 cell will be activated in the detector and electrons will leave in addition a track. Subsequently, electrons and photons create a candidate in the jet collection.
    380 Assuming a good measurement of the track parameters in the real experiment, the electron energy can be reasonably recovered. In \textit{Delphes}, electron energy is smeared according to the resolution of the calorimetric cell where it points to, but independently from any other deposited energy is this cell. This approach is still conservative as the calorimeter resolution is worse than the tracker one.

    382351\subsubsection*{Muons}
    383 Generator-level muons entering the detector acceptance are considered as candidates for the analysis level.
    384 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: $-2.4 \leq \eta \leq 2.4$).
    385 The application of the detector resolution on the muon momentum depends on a Gaussian smearing of the $p_T$ variable~\citep{qr:muonsmearing}.
     352Generator-level muons entering the muon detector acceptance (default: $-2.4 \leq \eta \leq 2.4$) and overpassing some threshold (default : $p_T > 10~\textrm{GeV}/c$) are considered as good candidates for analyses.
     353The application of the detector resolution on the muon momentum depends on a Gaussian smearing of the $p_T$~\citep{qr:muonsmearing}.
    386354%\footnote{\texttt{[code]} See the \texttt{SmearMuon} method.}.
    387 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 \textit{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 \textit{Delphes}.

    391359
    392 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 \textit{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.

     361
    393362The result (i.e.\ \textit{isolated} or \textit{not}) is added to the charged lepton measured properties.
    394363In addition, the sum $P_T$ of the transverse momenta of all tracks but the lepton one within the isolation cone is

    474442
    475443In jets, several particle can leave their energy into a given calorimetric cell, 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 cells with multiple hits.

    479447\subsection{$b$-tagging}
     
    482450A 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~\citep{qr:btag}.

    484 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 \textit{Delphes}, the displacement of secondary vertices is not simulated.

    488456Jets originating from $\tau$-decays are identified using a procedure consistent with the one applied in a full detector simulation~\citep{bib:cmsjetresolution}.
    489 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}).

    559527To use the narrowness of the $\tau$-jet, the \textit{electromagnetic collimation} $C_{\tau}$ is defined as the sum of the energy of cells in a small cone of radius $R^\textrm{em}$ around the jet axis, divided by the energy of the reconstructed jet.

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 $p_T^e > 50~\textrm{GeV}/c$.
