ROOT 6 Workshop

Abstract

We will go through the steps of a simple data analysis with ROOT 6:

* examining the structure of a mockup experiment's data: TTree
* examining basic distributions: histogramming
* simple fitting
* multi-dimensional selections
* multivariate analysis: TMVA
* efficiency calculation: TEfficiency
* going parallel: PROOF lite


Prerequisites

We need your laptop! Ideally it has X11 forwarding capabilities to ssh -Y into the machines provided by the school.

* Linux has everything we need.
* For MacOS you should install XQuartz. Or if you have MacOS 10.9: install and update XCode and get a recent MacOS build of ROOT 6.
* If you use Windows you can install XMing. Or you install
VirtualBox and grab a CERNVM image with ROOT 6 which you then double-click to import it into VirtualBox. Fire it up to make sure you can run it!

So many options! They are all good - and if all fails we'll be there to help.
