The physics of our analysis

  • We reconstruct the final state in the semileptonic decay of the top-quark pair
  • The high mass assumption of the \(Z'\) resonance leads to boosted final states
  • We can make use of specific reconstruction algorithms to identify these final states

Write the code

  • Awkward arrays allow for a simplified syntax when making cuts to select the data
  • You need to be careful to distinguish between cuts on events and cuts on particles

Putting it all togetherIntroduction

  • It it up to you how you want to save your reduced data and how to keep track of everything
  • There are many options, but think about how you might scale things up
