Delphes Fast Simulator

Purpose

Provides expert guidance on Delphes fast detector simulation for phenomenological studies, including detector card configuration and object reconstruction.

Capabilities

• Detector card configuration (ATLAS, CMS, custom)
• Jet reconstruction algorithms
• Object efficiency parameterization
• Pile-up simulation
• Trigger emulation
• ROOT/Delphes tree output

Usage Guidelines

1. Detector Cards: Configure or customize detector response cards
2. Jet Algorithms: Select appropriate jet reconstruction algorithms
3. Efficiencies: Model object reconstruction efficiencies
4. Pile-up: Add pile-up simulation when needed
5. Output: Generate ROOT trees for analysis

Tools/Libraries

• Delphes
• FastJet
• ROOT
