Analysis Flow: Glossary

The Higgs to tautau analysis is good example of analysis that can be done with CMS open data in a relatively easy and simplified way.

A container (or environment) with a newer version of ROOT could really speed things up.

See you tomorrow!

A simplified analysis can be done with all the open data tools we have learned so far.

We will be using collisions data from 2012 and several MC simulated datasets.

brilcalc is a tool for estimating integrated luminosities (and can be also used for obtaining other information like trigger prescales.)

One of the earlier steps in a particle physics analysis with CMS open data from Run 1 would be to skim the datasets down to a manageable size

CMSSW offers a simple an efficient way of doing so.

Skimming usually requires decent computing resources and/or time.

A simple analysis code skeleton can be obtained using ROOT tools

This skeleton can be enhanced to handle a particle physics analysis

The Higgs to tau tau simplified analysis can be implemente in an event loop style

There is some problem with our final plots, but we shal fix that ….

The QCD multijet background can be estimated using a data-driven approach

The Higgs to tau tau simplified analysis offers a great opportunity to learn about the most basic ingredients in an analysis flow
