What is this lesson about?
Welcome. In this lesson you will:
- Learn how to connect everything you have learned so far in order to exercise a full (or almost full) analysis example
- Learn how to implement the most usual ingredients of an analysis and the construct an analysis chain
- Select subsets of the data and Monte Carlo that are aimed at maximizing the significance of your signal
- Be able to produce plots to show the results
- Learn about estimating systematics and statistical aspects of the analysis
- Use all of this to measure some physical quanity and estimate the uncertainties on your measurement
During the live WHEPP workshop this session will focus on equipping you to analyze a POET ROOT file in python and make a basic plot of a kinematic quantity. Follow the ``Bonus Material” episodes to incorporate multiple simulated samples and apply the analysis selection criteria discussed in the Event Selection lesson!
Prerequisites
To follow this lesson you need to start the python tools Docker container from the pre-exercises:
If you have already successfully installed and run the Docker example with python tools, then you need only execute the following command.
docker start -i my_python #give the name of your containerIf this doesn’t work, return to the python tools Docker container lesson to work through how to start the container.
