 \section{Introduction}
 
-Multipurpose 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.
-
-
-This complexity is handled by large collaborations, and data and the expertise on reconstruction and simulation software are only available to their members. Precise 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. 
-%\textcolor{blue}{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 signal signatures and their associated backgrounds.
-
-A new framework, called \textit{Delphes}~\citep{bib:delphes}, is introduced here, for the fast simulation of a general-purpose collider experiment.
-Using this framework, observables such as cross-sections and efficiencies after event selection can be estimated for specific reactions.
-Starting from the output of event generators, the simulation of the detector response takes into account the subdetector resolutions, by smearing the kinematics of final-state particles (i.e. those considered as stable by the event generator
-\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.

 \subsection{Calorimetric cells}
 
-The 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.
-
-The 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}.
-Fig.~\ref{fig:calosegmentation} illustrates the default calorimeter segmentation.

 \subsection{Photon and charged lepton}
-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 electron, muon and photon collections contains only the true final-state particles identified via the generator-data.
-In addition, these particles must pass fiducial cuts taking into account the magnetic field effects and some additional reconstruction cuts.
-
-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}.

 \subsubsection*{Charged lepton isolation}
 \label{sec:isolation}
 
-To improve the quality of the contents of the charged lepton collections, isolation criteria can be applied. 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 $\Delta R = \sqrt{\Delta \eta^2 + \Delta \phi^2} <0.5$ centered on the cell associated to the charged lepton $\ell$, obviously taking the magnetic field into account.

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

 $$ P_T = \sum_{i \neq \ell}^\textrm{tracks} p_T(i)$$
 
-No calorimetric isolation is applied, but the charged lepton collections contain also the ratio $\rho_\ell$ between (1) the sum of the transverse energies in all calorimetric cells in a $N \times N$ grid around the lepton, and (2) the lepton transverse momentum~\citep{qr:caloisolation}:

-% \subsubsection*{Forward neutrals}
-% 
-% 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 \textit{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 (def. $50$~GeV)~\citep{qr:fwdneutrals}.

 \subsection{Jet reconstruction}
 
-A realistic analysis requires a correct treatment of partons which have hadronised. Therefore, the most widely currently used jet algorithms have been integrated into the \textit{Delphes} framework using the FastJet tools\footnote{A more detailed description of the jet algorithms is given in the User Manual, in appendix.}.

-For all of them, the calorimetric cells are used as inputs. Jet algorithms differ in their sensitivity to soft particles or collinear splittings, and in their computing speed performances.

 \subsubsection*{Recombination algorithms}
 
-The next three jet algorithms rely on recombination schemes where calorimeter cell pairs are successively merged:
-
-% Two such variables are defined: the distance $d_{ij}$ between each pair of cells $(i,j)$, and a variable $d_{iB}$ (\textit{beam distance}) depending on the transverse momentum of the cell $i$.
-
-% The jet reconstruction algorithm browses the calorimetric cell 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 cells $i$ and $j$ are merged into a single cell 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 cell is declared as a final jet and is removed from the input list. This procedure is repeated until no cells 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 calorimetric cell $i$ and $\Delta R_{ij}= \sqrt{(y_i-y_j)^2+(\phi_i-\phi_j)^2}$ as the jet-radius parameter:

 \section{Trigger emulation}
 
-% 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 $2 \times 10^{-3}~\textrm{nb}$ ($pp \rightarrow WH$, $m_H=115~\textrm{GeV}/c^2$).
-
-%High statistics are required for data analyses, consequently imposing high luminosity, i.e.\ a high collision rate.
-% 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.
-% This data selection is supposed to reject only well-known \textsc{SM} events\footnote{In real experiments, some bandwidth is allocated to minimum-bias and/or zero-bias (``random'') triggers that stores a small fraction of  random events without any selection criteria.}.
-% 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.
-
-Most of the usual trigger algorithms select events containing leptons, jets, and \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 $p_T^e > 50~\textrm{GeV}/c$.
-
-A trigger emulation is included in \textit{Delphes}, using a fully parametrisable \textit{trigger table} \citep{qr:triggercard}. When enabled, this trigger is applied on analysis-object data.

 \section{\label{sec:vfd}Very forward detector simulation}
 
-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 \textit{Delphes}, Zero Degree Calorimeters, roman pots and forward taggers have been implemented (Fig.~\ref{fig:fdets}), similarly to the plans for CMS and ATLAS collaborations~\citep{bib:cmsjetresolution, bib:ATLASresolution}.

 \subsection{Zero Degree Calorimeters}
 
-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}).
-
-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 in the current versions of \textit{Delphes}.

Such devices, also used at \textsc{HERA} and Tevatron, are located very far away from the interaction point (further than $150$~m in the \textsc{LHC} case).
-
-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}). 
-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 $900~\textrm{GeV}$~\citep{bib:hector}.
-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 \textit{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.
-
-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 \textit{Hector} software~\citep{bib:hector}, which includes the chromaticity effects and the geometrical aperture of the beamline elements of any arbitrary collider.

-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 is worth noting 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{FP420} detectors.} ($t$).
