v115 v116 1 == References ==2 3 Delphes 2 is not supported any more. If you use Delphes as part of a publication, you should include a citation to:4 5 [[http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/JHEP02(2014)057 | JHEP 02 (2014) 057 ]] [[http://arxiv.org/abs/1307.6346 | [ arXiv:1307.6346 [hep-ex] ] ]]**6 7 8 Also, please note that Delphes relies on a few external packages. If they are used they should be cited as well.9 For instance, the jet clustering procedure in Delphes is performed via the !FastJet package. If your analysis10 involves jets, you should explicitly include both a reference for the !FastJet package and for the relevant clustering algorithm you are using.11 12 For more information on how to properly cite !FastJet, please visit [http://fastjet.fr/about.html this page].13 14 15 1 == A framework for fast simulation of a generic collider experiment == 16 2 17 3 Delphes is a C++ framework, performing a fast multipurpose detector response simulation. The simulation includes a tracking system, embedded into a magnetic field, calorimeters and a muon system. The framework is interfaced to standard file formats (e.g. Les Houches Event File or HepMC) and outputs observables such as isolated leptons, missing transverse energy and collection of jets which can be used for dedicated analyses. The simulation of the detector response takes into account the effect of magnetic field, the granularity of the calorimeters and subdetector resolutions. Visualisation of the final state particles is also built-in using the corresponding ROOT library. 18 4 19 [https://github.com/delphes/delphes/wiki/The-team The Delphes team] 5 == Community and support == 20 6 21 === **NEW** Delphes 3 **stable release** (February 26) === 7 The Delphes development model is community-based. 8 Users willing to participate are encouraged to fork this repository and to submit pull requests for mature developments and bug fixes. 9 The Delphes core development team from the [http://cp3.irmp.ucl.ac.be/ CP3 center] of the Université catholique de Louvain is in charge of the maintenance, releases, and general support to users via the ticket system. 22 10 23 Following the guidelines and suggestions of the 2012 [http://indico.cern.ch/materialDisplay.py?materialId=minutes&confId=187127 LPCC workshop on public fast simulators for the LHC], Delphes has been completely redesigned to meet the needs of all users. 11 == Documentation == 24 12 25 Improvements include: 26 - Modular structure allowing users to introduce new features easily and modify existing ones 27 - Library mode to use Delphes inside other programs 28 - Simulation speed has been improved 29 - Input libraries have been rewritten from scratch to handle standard formats, files stored on castor or on the web 30 - Many existing features have been updated 31 - Important number of bug fixes 13 Documentation is collected in the [Workbook](/workbook). Good starting point is the [Quick start guide](/workbook/quick-start). 32 14 33 The modular system allows you to: 34 - define your own output collections, store multiple object collections (different jet algorithms, etc.) 35 - define the isolation criteria for each type of object 36 - define efficiency and resolution formulas for all objects 37 - change the b-tagging and tau-tagging efficiency and misidentification rate 38 - and much more!
