==== High-pT ttbar (pT>650 GeV) ====


Here are samples of [[https://cp3.irmp.ucl.ac.be/projects/delphes | Delphes 3.08]] events generated for the **14 TeV** center-of-mass energy (pp collisions). The events are generated for **0, 50 and 140** pileup scenarios. 

All data  are stored in the  ROOT format  using the standard [[https://cp3.irmp.ucl.ac.be/projects/delphes | Delphes]] output.
Therefore, it is recommended to install [[https://cp3.irmp.ucl.ac.be/projects/delphes | Delphes]] and look at the example explaining how to read such ROOT files (see the directory "Examples" inside the Delphes package).
The samples use the "Snowmass" detector geometry. Jets were corrected using jet area correction and fake jets are not stored.
See [[http://www.snowmass2013.org/tiki-index.php?page=Energy_Frontier_FastSimulation| this wiki]] for details. 
MinBias samples were generated with HERWIG++.

Please read the Section [[snowmass2013:download| How to download]]. You need a python script "download.py".



=====  Signal ttbar ====

This is a ttbar fully inclusive top sample (all top decays)  with pT>650 GeV on hard processes using HERWIG++ with sqrt(s)=14 TeV. The LO ME processes are:
<code>
g g -> t tbar
q qbar -> t tbar
</code>

Look at the HERWIG++ [[http://mc.hep.anl.gov/asc/snowmass2013/delphes36/ttbar_pt650/log/LHC_signal.log.gz | log file]] used to generate such files. This is [[http://mc.hep.anl.gov/asc/snowmass2013/delphes36/log/ttbar_pt650/log/LHC_signal.in | input settings]]


In total, there are 96 files per sample (mu=0,50,140), with 1000 ttbar  events in each. Thus the total number of events is  96000 signal events per sample.

==== How to analyze using ROOT ====

If you need to find the effect of pileup on top reconstruction or a jet measurement, you need to  run the analysis code over signal MC and then over the signal+pileup MC files.
Read [[snowmass2013:analyse_d3]]

==== How to analyze without ROOT ====

In some cases, you may not have ROOT installed to read the Delphes files. In this case, you can use
ROOT files converted to the ProMC format which can be read without ROOT (using C++, Java, Python). Read 
[[snowmass2013:analyse_d36_promc| how to read Delphes3 output without ROOT]].
