Particle.PID lost

Hi,

Please contact Delphi’s author.
> I did not see 25, 24
This sounds normal to me since this is detector level.

Cheers,

Olivier

Hi Olivier,
Thanks. I already contact Delphi's author.
But i am still confused about one issue. I tried to generate p p > h h > b b~ y y at pythia level with MadGraph5, then pass hep output to Delphes3. Then I checked the delphes out like what i did above, I did see 6, -6 and 25. Do you have any ideas? Thanks！

No idea of what this function does inside Delphes so I can not help you.

Cheers,

Olivier
