ROOT is a framework for data analysis, storage and visualization. It is widely used in High Energy Physics and other disciplines.
This three hours tutorial comprises a front lecture and hands on exercises. It will be driven by slides which will present to the students all the basic concepts and tools ROOT provides.

Instructions to be read carefully
Please note that all participants must bring their own laptop to the workshop and, if possible, install ROOT beforehand: no time will be dedicated to the installation of ROOT.
ROOT version 6.24/06 or newer will be used during the exercise. Participants might still be able to run the exercises with older ROOT versions, but upgrading is recommended. The Windows release is in beta mode and therefore is not adequate to follow this course.
If you don't manage to install ROOT on your machine, you will be using the version available on the lxplus cluster. In this case, please make sure you can establish a graphics ssh connection to lxplus.cern.ch using your CERN account (ssh -XY youruser@lxplus.cern.ch).
Please note that we have 50 places for this workshop. Interested students who could not sign up, could check the registration regularly in case of cancellations.
Some of the exercises will be done on SWAN, CERN's Jupyter Notebook service. For using this service, a CERNBox space is required: just log in to cernbox.cern.ch with your CERN username and password to create one. After that, you can log in to SWAN.
