This lesson is being piloted (Beta version)

Physics Objects

Prerequisites

  • For this lesson we will be using the CMSSW Docker container you already used during the pre-exercises.
  • After you completed the pre-exercises, you should have now a good understanding about ROOT and the basic aspects of CMSSW.

Schedule

Setup Before we begin
00:00 1. General Physics Objects and POET What do we call physics objects in CMS?
How are physics objects reconstructed?
What is POET?
How do I run POET?
