| | 32 | >> (Andrea's temporary comment) I think that his argument is incorrect. There is nothing in Delphes that assumes that the collider is hadronic. One can just generate e+e- or ep events with pythia or any other generator and Delphes would process those events correctly. Therefore, it would be incorrect to write in the abstract, or elsewhere, that it is a simulation for hadron colliders. At most, one could argue that it is not general enough to simulate asymmetric detectors like ALICE or LHCb (which are experiments at hadron colliders...), but we are clearly stating that we want to simulate "multipurpose detectors", and I don't think that ALICE fits that definition (LHCb certainly doesn't). |
