#316 new How to

How to find which matrix element parton a jet is from.

Description

Does Delphes contain information about which MadGraph level parton a jet originates from?

I'm producing root events via MG5->Pythia->Delphes, and want to implement basic c-tagging using efficiencies published by ATLAS. For this I need to match the ME partons with their jets. Is the information I need available in the Delphes root file?

Sorry if this is a simple question but I couldn't find a definitive answer.
(I wonder if I should be able to get this information from GenJet.Particles, but have had trouble accessing this information)

You have access to all particles (both hard scattering and ps+hadronization) in the Particle branch.
What you can do is to check which jet matches with a DeltaR requirement the c-parton from the ME.

Note: See TracTickets for help on using tickets.
