Here are samples of Delphes 3.05 events generated for the 14 TeV center-of-mass energy (pp collisions). The events are generated for 0 pileup, 50 and 140 pileup scenarios.

All data are stored in the ROOT format using the standard Delphes 3.05 output. Therefore, it is recommended to install Delphes 3.0.5 and look at the example explaining how to read such ROOT files (see the directory “Examples” inside the Delphes package).

The samples use the ATLAS detector geometry located in “examples/delphes_card_ATLAS.tcl” of the Delphes 3.05 installation. We use “towers” to build antiKT4 jets.

The truth information from the signal MC shown above was used to overlay with 50 pile up events (fixed number, not “Poisson” case!) The events were overplayed at the HEPMC true level (thanks to Andy Buckley for his help and http://pilemc.hepforge.org/ tool), and then were processed using Delphes 3.05.

How files are generated

In total, there are 200 single top events per one file. The following processes are included: 

 q q -> t q (t-channel W+-)
 f fbar -> t tbar (s-channel gamma*/Z0)
 f fbar -> t qbar (s-channel W+-)

(t-channel dominates). Total luminosity is 0.1 fb.

Info about true particle record

To reduce ROOT file size, truth information in these ROOT files was slimmed. Please read here.

How to analyze

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 analyse_d3
