Delphes
A framework for fast simulation of a generic collider experiment
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.

Community and support
Delphes is now moving to community-based developement. The branches of the svn repository are open to users who would like to participate. If you are interested, register first and then contact the support team via cp3-delphes@… to be granted svn access.
NEW Delphes 3 stable release (February 26)
Delphes has been completely redesigned to meet the needs of all users. Improvements include:
- Modular strucure allowing users to introduce new features easily and modify existing ones
- Library mode to use Delphes inside other programs
- Simulation speed has been improved
- Input libraries have been rewritten from scratch to handle standard formats, files stored on castor or on the web
- Many existing features have been updated
- Important number of bugfixes
The modular system allows you to:
- define your own output collections, store multiple object collections (different jet algorithms, etc.)
- define the isolation criteria for each type of object
- define efficiency formulaes for all objects
- change the b-tagging and tau-tagging tag and mistag rates
- and many more ! Be sure to read the online documentation
