=====
Satoshi showed the invisible search results using Delphes 3.4.0 and the card FCChh.tcl.  Compared to Delphes 3.1.2, the results are very similar.

Uta said that MG file can be the same so no need to regenerate (same MG, just different Delphes).
=====

Uta:

- FCChe delphes card includes now all resolutions according to Peter's design, and further scrutinised HCAL resolutions. The b-tagging is currently set to 1 as  a monitor only. The anti-kt R value is changed to 0.4 as needed for multi-jet final states.
- We discussed that we like to have high b and c-tagging efficiencies, pt-dependent (for a high signal) and at modest backgrounds -> Orhan and his team started to have a look at this and will send a summary fo their findings soon
Note : FCChh has pt-dependent b and c tagging until eta<4, we may use those and lower the starting pt cuts from 10 GeV to 1 GeV.
- We discussed the effect of the polarisation in the generation, summarised by Kechen, and we agreed that our scaling was o.k. for the CC Higgs production. However, for the new generations with complex final states we should switch polarisation on in the generation. In particular important for gamma-Z interference graphs -> pt of the electron after Z exchange may be harder than pt after photon exchange -> so it may affect the analysis strategy.

- P=-0.8 should be used.
