Description
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to inquire about a specific aspect of the Delphes code: the meaning behind particle.Status command. Specifically particle.Status == 23.
Context: I am using MadGraph+Pythia+Delphes to generate a .root file that I'm analyzing using Python. To obtain Partonic Level distributions I'm requiring that the particles I am looping over satisfy particle.Status == 23, but I am not sure about the meaning of this command.
I have been unable to find a definitive explanation or documentation outlining the meaning of this particular status code. What I found was this Pythia 8 manual (https://pythia.org/latest-manual/ParticleProperties.html), but I am not sure if it means the same thing as in Delphes
Could you kindly provide clarification on the meaning of particle status == 23 within the Delphes framework? Any insights, documentation references, or explanations you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much for your attention to this matter.
