Problem with Delphes FastJetFinder

Hi,

I've created a ticket for this on the Delphes ticket system:
https://cp3.irmp.ucl.ac.be/projects/delphes/ticket/250

Cheers,

Olivier

The AdjacencyCut parameter should be integer. In the Delphes configuration file it should look like

set AdjacencyCut 2

Is it possible that the templates of Delphes configuration files provided by MadGraph are not synchronized with the latest Delphes version?

Hi Pavel,

MadGraph automatically copy the card: delphes_card_CMS.tcl
to the Template directory:
(here is the line doing so)
        if args[0] == 'Delphes3':
            files.cp(pjoin(MG5DIR, 'Delphes','examples','delphes_card_CMS.tcl'),
                     pjoin(MG5DIR,'Template', 'Common', 'Cards', 'delphes_card_default.dat'))

Now, this instance of Delphes is not called via MadGraph. So I have no idea which file is used for the configuration.

Cheers,

Olivier

Hi Olivier,

I am sorry to disagree with you, but it seems that the copying does not work.
I just tested it by reinstalling MG (1.5.13) and Delphes.
At least for me, the Delphes-cards that are included in MadGraph are NOT replaced when installing Delphes,
except for delphes_card_default.dat which is replaced by Delphes/examples/delphes_card_CMS.tcl.

Cheers,
Markus

This is indeed the only file which is automatically modified and to my knowledge the only used by the madgraph/madevent interface when Delphes3 is installed.
Now indeed they are the file delphes_card_ATLAS.dat and delphes_card_CMS.dat which are in the Delphes2 format and which are not removed.
Is that your point?

Which file did you use for your run?

Cheers,

Olivier

Hi Olivier,

I think the problem is that it looks like one could use the ATLAS and CMS files shipped with MadGraph for detector simulation, if you replace delphes_card.dat with them.
However, one should use the files provided by delphes, as the ATLAS file is not working, so I would recommend to copy also the ATLAS/CMS detector cards from delphes, just to avoid confusion.

Cheers,
Markus
