# This is a toy example illustrating a detector response. 
# It creates a random list of particles. Each particle characterized with 4 values (PT,ETA,PHI,MASS)
# (truth-level). Then it applies some detector smearing and loses to mimic a typical detector

# How to debug:

RESPONSE=0.98 # on average, energies are shifted by -2%

# In addition, energies are stochastically smeared by a detector 
# using this formula: sigma = B*E+A*sqrt(E)
# Note:  positions are smeared with sigma x10 smaller
