Is it necessary to change the values of parameters?

Description

I am new to Delphes and have a simple question. From my understanding, Delphes has been tuned against the full simulation by GEANT. Does this mean when I use Delphes to do the fast simulation, I do not have to change the values of parameters? Thank you!

Hi,

sorry we missed this ticket. Delphes was not tuned against GEANT directly, but indirectly to reproduce published detector performance from CMS and ATLAS. So unless you are analyzing some very exotic signature you can go ahead and use the existing data cards.
