Code Changes

• add references to gen particles (added TRef to Particle for Track, Electron and Muon)
• fix isolation
• change default CMS config file: produce PF objects (electrons, muons, charged hadrons ..)
• sort leptons in pt (all objects written to ROOT tree are now sorted)
• set by default PF met calculation (instead of of CaloMET) in CMS card
• protect input file from overwrite if wrong command was given
• inefficient tracks should deposit energy in the CALOs
• add frog visualization (replaced frog by ROOT based event display)
• include Ht in variables
• remove muons from calorimeter (be aware of met)
• treat equally taus and bs (collection or flag?)
• include jet constituents in the outputs
• fill code and config file with comments
• add to candidates a variable (double) for isolation + flag.
• nevents to process specified by the user
• define treatement for charged particle orginating from pile-up for eta>2.5
• add information about selected events in the output
• add neutralinos in calorimeter (should not deposit)
• change input array in pileup card for jet pileup subtraction (btagging)
• write jet energy scale module (in pt,eta)
• add genmet calculation by default.
• correct bug in LHEF readers (look for "<events>" string rather)
• apply logN smearing everywhere ?
• add python code from Christophe
• commit tuned cards
• change tau tagging module (add bits like b-tagging)
• comment code about b and taus
• possibility to compute rho and subtract in different rapidity regions (done bad in my own release)
• add muons isolated in the UniqueObjecFinder and change muons in tree writer
• think about where apply CHS in presence of PU
• make Calorimeter module compatible with what is in the paper
• decide whether to apply changes in the isolation with pile-up (cf Jim Hirshauer mail)
• make study of jes
• think about b-jet matching (cf. SWGuideBTagMCTools)
• add on Delphes website a MinBias.pileup file.
• think about muons in PFalgorithm? why are they out?
• in EFlowMerger add TrackPileUpSubtractor/muons instead of MuonMomentumSmearing/muons
• add flag for pile up distribution (gauss,poisson,flat)
• add flag for isolation (relative/absolute)
• correct for efficiency/isolation at high pt (for e/mu/gamma)
• particle-flow optimisation (start from Calorimeter.cc.bk.4)
• look for discrepancies in taus.
• add charged particles from pu in the eflow met calculation.
• modify high pt reso for muons
• check also efficiencies e/mu plus reso high e for lee
• compute jet energy scale for ATLAS
• remove pile-up subtraction from the missing ET calculations
• understand what is the correct ECAL resolution for CMS sqrt(energy^2*0.007^2 + energy*0.07^2 + 0.35^2) or sqrt(energy^2*0.005^2 + energy*0.05^2 + 0.25^2)

• write module that vetoes events based on some selection
• independent calos ECAL HCAL
• tracking à la SGV (mc truth)
• write TF calculator
• add set RandomSeed 0 to all the example cards and close ticket #229
• write pf for independent calls with separate photons NH
• calculate dynamically cutoff sigmatrk ~sigmacalo for pf
• develop FHC card based on May CERN WS
• include HepTopTagger
• explore gridMedianEstimator
• isolation for lambdas -> photons
• update b-tagging module including tuning parameter for correlation between IP and sigmaIP
• implement CHS based on comparison between zIP smeared and vertex resolution, for more realistic high eta performance.
• add AngularSmearing module from /storage/Delphes_dev/Delphes-3.1.2/modules
• include Pythia8 fix ticket 288
• think about how to properly define genets (remove neutrinos, see what CMS does)
• Cms PileUp card, remove pileup subtraction from MET calculation
• think about how to implement track merging (more complicated than just smearing angles) in high density, as a function of track pt, eta
• write library example for fast jet
• write list of hepmc particles post detector simulation before fast jet clustering…
• add a zero bias suppression for the calos and check that everything works fine.
• remove muon from jet constituent loop in Example3.C
• develop and finalise FCC detector card.
• store isolation variable in output

Testing and validation

• test against CMS (with or without pile-up?)
• find resolution for high level objects (gsf electrons, global muons)
• identify validation quantities (JER, Met res.) and reproduce with Delphes
• identify and reproduce template analysis with Delphes (down to exclusion plots, Higgs/BSM)
• write mass plot production macro for testing new releases

Misc.

• define structure of the paper
• complete documentation
• identify workshop and conferences for presenting Delphes3 (for pheno: Fabio)
• think about case studies to show in tutorials
• find a logo

Site

• help guide in toolbar
• Screen-shot
• validation plots?
• paper use cases
• Contacts?

Long term

• pile-up merger (done)
• pile-up parameterisation (rho calculated only on a fraction of events)
• fake-track producer (can be done easily like pile-up producer)
• conversion producer
• high lumi card
• integrate Delphes in MG5
• address calorimeter segmentation issue

Paper

• add correct citation for the anti-kt algo JHEP 0804 (2008) 063 ​0802.1189
