ttbar generation

I guess this is not a question for us (after mg5amc You have 100% one electron event). I would believe that this is a reconstruction effect. And therefore would suggest to contact Delphes author

Cheers

Subject: [Question #684114]: ttbar generation

Hi all,

I'm generating the SM background for a process of my interest, specifically the t tbar production with semileptonic decay for one top considering only electrons,

generate p p > t t~, (t > w+ b, w+ > j j), (t~ > w- b~, w- > e- ve~)
add process p p > t t~ j, (t > w+ b, w+ > j j), (t~ > w- b~, w- > e- ve~)

using Pythia8 for showering and Delphes for collider simulation.

I generated 10k events before matching, and I got ~4k after matching. What really puzzles me is the fact that my final ROOT file has a significant number of 0-electron events, even bigger than the number of 1-electron events.

Is this normal? If not, could you address me about how to solve the issue?

Thank you in advance,
Sebastian
