    • 16:05 - 16:10 ALICE Physics Selection Quality Assurance 5' 
      The ALICE experiment uses a low level offline physics selection to check that all events passed by the triggers for saving are operating correctly.  The code used for quality assurance has been in constant evolution and needs serious restructuring.
      Speaker: Kevin McDermott

    • 16:10 - 16:15 Reconstruction of the Single Top 5' 
      Brief introduction to the motivations behind the CMS experiment, and more specifically, looking at the single top quark, produced primarily through electroweak interactions in the t-channel decay at the energies obtained within the LHC detector.
