Simplified fast detector simulation in MadAnalysis 5

Understand

We introduce a new simplified fast detector simulator in the MadAnalysis 5 platform.

• The Python-like interpreter of the programme has been augmented by new commands allowing for a detector parametrisation through smearing and efficiency functions.
• On run time, an associated C++ code is automatically generated and executed to produce reconstructed-level events.
• In addition, we have extended the MadAnalysis 5 recasting infrastructure to support our detector emulator, and we provide predefined LHC detector configurations.
