ROOT is a framework for data analysis, storage and visualization. It is widely used in High Energy Physics and other disciplines.
This is the second edition of the 2023 ROOT courses; a third edition (i.e. "clone") is scheduled here. This course combines lectures and hands on exercises. You will learn all the basic concepts and tools that ROOT provides.

Instructions to be read carefully
Please note that all participants must bring their own laptop to the workshop. You will be using ROOT from the lxplus cluster or SWAN:
- To use ROOT from lxplus please make sure you can establish a graphics ssh connection to lxplus.cern.ch using your CERN account (ssh -XY youruser@lxplus.cern.ch). This requires a CERN account associated to a computing group, check "Computing Group" at https://account.cern.ch/account/CERNAccount/AccountStatus.aspx. If you have none, subscribe to the default one following these instructions: https://resources.web.cern.ch/resources/Help/?kbid=067030
- Some of the exercises use SWAN, CERN's Jupyter Notebook service. Just log in to cernbox.cern.ch with your CERN username and password; after that, you can log in to SWAN.
Please note that we have 70 places for this session. Please register! Once it's full, check the registration regularly in case of cancellations.
