This event focuses on Analysis Description Language (ADL), a newly emerging, paradigm-shifting approach in HEP data analysis.
ADL is a domain-specific, declarative language with a human readable syntax designed to describe the physics algorithm of a HEP analysis in a standard and unambiguous way. Contrary to traditional methods, ADL decouples analysis physics algorithm from analysis software frameworks, hence putting the analysis focus fully on physics. Any framework recognizing ADL syntax can perform analysis-related tasks with it. CutLang runtime interpreter is the leading infrastructure to run analyses written in ADL. ADL is highly multipurpose, and serves both experimental and phenomenological studies. It can be used for analysis design, optimization, visualization, validation, query, combination, reinterpretation, communication and long term preservation. ADL web portal cern.ch/adl includes all relevant information and documentation.
The event is aimed at HEP experimentalists focusing on data analysis and HEP phenomenologists with interest on (re)interpretation of HEP analysis results in terms of new physics models. It will introduce ADL/CutLang and continue mainly of hands-on sessions, including
- ADL/CutLang tutorial with a complete new physics search using CMS Open Data.
- Implementation of selected HEP analysis with ADL from scratch.
- Analysis validation with ADL/CutLang for (re)interpretation studies.
- Discussion on creative use cases for ADL/CutLang.
