Generating Distributions from Scratch

Asked by Abhik Sarkar

Suppose, I want to generate distributions for a process say p p > h z. I launch the simulation using following steps:

generate p p > h z
output pphz
launch

I activate Delphes, Pythia, MadAnalysis. Now, suppose my signal is p p > h(b b~) z(l+ l-). Suppose I want to generate the pT distribution (histograms) for the leading lepton or leading b-jet for this particular signal. How to do that step by step such that we perform shower and detector simulation within the framework and as a final product, I get the histogram. Is it possible to do so using only the cards provided?

I guess it does depend of the distribution that you are a looking for. But in most cases the answer should be yes.
This bieng said, I do not know the output of Delphes (excpet that this is an experimental format:root), neither if/how distribution can be extracted from such file, I do not hear about histogram out of Delphes, but this is certainly possible via root (but then not via the cards).
