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.
