During the live workshop, we will focus on using traditional CMS ``physics objects” to design an analysis. This pre-reading is intended to familiarize you with how these objects are reconstructed by CMS and extracted from 2015 MiniAOD files by the Physics Object Extractor Tool package.
Prerequisites
- For this lesson we will be using the
CMSSW
Docker container you already used during the pre-exercises. Note: if you have the Apple M1/M2 chips, you are likely unable to perform cmsRun jobs in this container, but you could still investigate the code either in the container or on github.- After you completed the pre-exercises, you should have now a good understanding about
ROOT
and the basic aspects ofCMSSW
.
