Delphes2 samples

Here are the links to the existing Monte Carlo samples for top-quark studies generated for the 14 TeV center-of-mass energy (pp collisions). Events were generated with the PYTHIA8 and HERWIG++ models, and processed using the Delphes 2.03 fast detector simulation.

All data are stored as ROOT files using the standard Delphes 2.0.3 output. Therefore, it is recommended to install Delphes 2.0.3 and look at the example explaining how to read such ROOT files (see the directory “Examples” inside the Delphes package).

Information about the geometry (resolutions) is given in these Delphes input files (comes with the default Delphes installation):

There is a bug for b-tagging in Delphes 2.03 and it is recommended to redo jet b-tagging offline for this version. Consider using Delphes 3.0 (beta). See the bottom of this page.
For the pile-up simulation, look at Energy Frontier FastSimulation page. Some information for ATLAS users can be found here.

The output ROOT files have the truth information and the detector-level objects (jets, leptons etc).

How to analyse MCs

First you need to install ROOT. Then the procedure is somewhat different depending on what Delphes version you are using, “Delphes 2.03” (production) or Delphes 3.0 (beta). Go to the Delphes web page and download the needed version. The packages contain basic examples of how to read ROOT files generated by Delphes. One example for Delphes 3.0(beta) is given in this section

Let's do some analysis using the files given on this web page. Download Delphes_V_2.0.3.tar.gz and compile it (should work on Scientific Linux 5 or 6):

wget --no-check-certificate https://cp3.irmp.ucl.ac.be/projects/delphes/raw-attachment/wiki/WikiStart/Delphes_V_2.0.3.tar.gz
tar -zvxf Delphes_V_2.0.3.tar.gz
cd Delphes_V_2.0.3/
make

Ready to run

The directory “Examples” contains the example source code. Let's replace it with our example program. snowmass_tutorial.tgz

mv Delphes_V_2.0.3/Examples Delphes_V_2.0.3/Examples_old
cd /tmp
wget --no-check-certificate https://mc.hep.anl.gov/asc/wikidoc/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=snowmass2013:snowmass_tutorial.tgz
tar -zvxf snowmass_tutorial.tgz
mv /tmp/snowmass_tutorial/* Delphes_V_2.0.3/  # copy the content to the Delphes installation
cd Delphes_V_2.0.3/
make  # recompile again

The new code which is inside “Examples” calculated some basic histograms for the top production. You can run it using the script “A_RUN”. Open it and define the path to the directory with ROOT files. The run it as “./A_RUN”. The program runs over the list of ROOT files and creates a ROOT file with histograms inside “out/” directory.
