In January and March 2010, two combined MC-PAD / Alliance training events on Geant4 and ROOT data analysis will take place at DESY (Hamburg). <o:p></o:p>
The first event, which is targeting the Researchers of the MC-PAD network and its invited guests, will take place from January 28-30. This is the INDICO page for this event! For more information see http://www.terascale.de/schools_and_workshops/geant2010/ or contact the organisers (anacen@desy.de). <o:p></o:p>
The events will combine introductory lectures and hands-on experience on the following topics: <o:p></o:p>
1. Simple fitting techniques using ROOT. <o:p></o:p>
2. Monte Carlo methods and simple applications.<o:p></o:p>
3. The physics of a beam telescope made of Si-strip detectors<o:p></o:p>
4. Introduction to GEANT4 and simulation of a beam telescope made of high resolution silicon strip detectors – simulate data for further analysis.<o:p></o:p>
5. Analysis of the beam telescope data: clustering and position reconstruction, simple track fit, determination of position resolution and detection efficiency, effects of multiple scattering, track extrapolation errors and basic detector alignment.<o:p></o:p>
6. Determination of the position resolution of a Si-strip detector as function of angle of incidence.
