  • Each one of you should give a 5-10min report on what you could accomplish next Monday.

LHC software course: ROOT TTree using an event class follow up, CMSSW introduction

CMSAEP, Events

Who: Prof. Arno Heister

Room: CERN 354-1-016

Please bring your laptop. We will continue working with the jet event example in the ROOT tutorial section today.

Here is a link to the slides for today: CMS PAT introduction

Links for todays lecture:

  1. CMS computing model
  2. How to locate CMS data
  3. CMS data analysis school (prelimenaries)

LHC software course: ROOT TTree using an event class (part II)

CMSAEP, Events

Who: Prof. Arno Heister

Room: CERN 354-1-016

Please bring your laptop. We will continue working with the jet event example in the ROOT tutorial section today.

Homework:

  • Start from the jets.C TTree loop and add the option of filling histograms with info from the JetEvent class. Also add the possibility to cut on quantities like e.g. the number of tracks per event, the pt of jets, etc. Upload your work i.e. .C files, etc. as usual beforethe next lecture to this area. Important: Do not use anywhere the SetBinContentmethod or the TTree:Draw(..) method.
  • Write and define your own ROOT style, etc. and put all your enhancements into your standard rootlogon.C file.
  • Give us details about H->ttbar channel shown in the plot we discussed in the lecture. The plot can be found in this publication.
