Welcome to the Delphes EIC project. This code aims to deliver a fast-simulation model of baseline or specific detectors for studies to support the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) project. This code has been used in a few publications and papers and parts of it are available for citation through Zenodo:

What’s New?

  • EIC PID code has been used to create IdentificationMaps for the mRICH, barrelDIRC, and dualRICH. No more external code needed!

Installation Instructions

  1. OPTIONAL (but recommended): Install LHAPDF

  2. Install PYTHIA8.3 (if you installed LHAPDF, build with LHAPDF support)

  3. Install Delphes3 following: https://github.com/delphes/delphes

EIC Yellow-Report Detector Models

The current model we recommend is `delphes_card_allsilicon_3T.tcl`. Is is based on detector studies from the EIC Yellow Report (https://arxiv.org/abs/2103.05419). This model incorporates all-silicon tracking, as well as an EMCAL and HCAL. PID system responses are provided by efficiency maps based on EIC PID code (https://gitlab.com/preghenella/pid/).

  • Magnetic field: 1.5 T or 3.0 T

  • Solenoid length: 2.0 m

  • Tracker radius: 80 cm

  • An HCAL and and EMCAL

  • Particle ID systems: based on the mRICH, barrel DIRC, and dual RICH concepts articulated by the EIC community; implemented using IdentificationMaps

We currently simulate DIS using Pythia8 within Delphes. The command file (ending in .cmnd) shown here and available in the project is suitable for DIS at EIC.

Using the project

Generating Events

We recommend PYTHIA 8.3 for event generation, and the latest version of Delphes builds and links against 8.3 without incident, allowing for seamless generation and then detector response modeling all in one step using the `DelphesPythia8` binary:

DelphesPythia8 delphes_card_allsilicon_3T.tcl pythia8cards/CC_DIS.cmnd out.root

For examples of other detector configurations, analysis code, etc. see the main Delphes project site.

Visualizing Events

Run the Delphes visualization script on your ROOT file, using the input Delphes card (TCL) file to help it structure the detector in the display:

root -l examples/EventDisplay.C'("delphes_card_allsilicon_3T.tcl","out.root")'

The two examples shown here are for neutral-current and charged-current event for beam energies of 10 GeV electron on 100 GeV proton (63 GeV center-of-mass energy).

EIC Collider Variations

Beam energy recommended benchmarking points are (the order is hadron on lepton):

  • 275 on 18 GeV

  • 100 on 10 GeV

  • 100 on 5 GeV

  • 41 on 5 GeV
