Here are samples of 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 Delphes output. Therefore, it is recommended to install 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. See this wiki for details.

Please read the Section How to download. You need a python script “download.py”

The samples are generated for Higgs to ttbar, all decays, using PYTHIA8 (14 TeV collisions). 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. Processes included:

 g g -> H t tbar (SM)
 q qbar -> H t tbar (SM)

For 1000 generated events, the log file:

== Cross section for this run=2.369e-01 pb
== Events for this run=1000
== Luminosity for this run=4.222e+00 fb-1

(total lumi is 403 fb-1 for 96000 events) Look at PYTHIA8 log file used to generate such files. This is PYTHIA8 settings.

Get the ROOT files from this download link. Here is an example for downloading 5 files:

python download.py 5  delphes36/httbar/mu140  pythia8_httbar_delphes306_mu140

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

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 how to read Delphes3 output without ROOT.
