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 [1].
 - If you use Windows you can install XMing [2]. Or you install
[VirtualBox][3] and grab a CERNVM image with ROOT6 [4] 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.
