Snowmass Energy Frontier Simulations

Understand

This document describes the simulation framework used in the Snowmass Energy Frontier studies for future Hadron Colliders.

• An overview of event generation with {\sc Madgraph}5 along with parton shower and hadronization with {\sc Pythia}6 is followed by a detailed description of pile-up and detector simulation with {\sc Delphes}3.
• Details of event generation are included in a companion paper cited within this paper.
• The input parametrization is chosen to reflect the best object performance expected from the future ATLAS and CMS experiments; this is referred to as the "Combined Snowmass Detector".
