Description
We built a semi-automated tuning workflow using high-performance-computer (HPC) and we will show a first demonstration of tuning using detector-level data, in particular the results of a search for new physics. This tune relies on a simple parametrized detector simulation, which itself includes a number of free parameters. These parameters can also be tuned to experimental data. Taken together, these two steps open a great deal of new data to event generator tuning applications, and also offer an automatic way to examine detector resolutions and efficiencies in complex phase regions of kinematic space.
