Problems with lxplus?

Saturday, February 20th, 2010

Hello,
So I am having problems opening ROOT in lxplus. If I just call ROOT by typing “root” it says that the command isn’t found even though I am in the right directory and I have ROOT in there. I have tried typing “./root &” since that is how I open ispy in lxplus but that says Permission Denied. I have tried “chmod +x root” but it doesn’t change anything. Do you know what I am doing wrong? I am probably making a simple mistake since I don’t know many linux commands.

Hard Muons

Saturday, February 20th, 2010

Hi Edgar,
I was working on trying to figure out which muons are the hardest muons. Are the hardest muons the ones with the most energy? I scanned “mu_e”, but I can’t tell which muons have the highest energy because it seems scattered throughout the events.. I’m not sure if what I said makes sense.. I also thought that if I drew “mu_e” it would help me figure out which muons had the highest energy, but it plots the number of muons that had a particular energy, not which muon had what energy..right?
I’m aware that there is a GetMaximum function in TTree, but it won’t tell us which event produced the maximum energy..so will that help us?

Thank you,
Ashley

Physics lecture schedule edited

Friday, February 19th, 2010

Hey,
I just realized I left a lecture off of our schedule for classes at UniGe. Sorry about this! I corrected the schedule. There IS a QM class Wednesday evening from 4-6pm Which makes me worry about conflicts with the computing class from 2-4 on Wednesdays. I am very sorry about this.

Uploading slides….

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

This maybe a stupid question, but does anyone know how to upload the slides to the “BU WebDAV space”? I uploaded my slides under the media here, but I don’t know if that is what it means (maybe I am wrong). Arno said something about instructions for Guoan? I am not sure if I got that email….
Thanks, Andrea

Just kidding, look at these slides.

Check out these … (moved the slides to the BU WebDAV space, link is on the event post now.)
