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.
The course material is available at https://github.com/root-project/summer-student-course
The slides of the course are available at https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1XUpgJ1IRNO-nIF7M9TErrMcyisLqhhZLB0L-M0AkwUo/edit?usp=sharing
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.
The latest ROOT release will be used during the exercises. 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.
It is highly suggested to use the ROOT installations available via either lxplus or SWAN, the CERN web-based analysis platform, to follow this course.
For 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).
For SWAN, an active CERNBox quota is required: log in to cernbox.cern.ch with your CERN username and password to create one. After that, you can log in to SWAN.
Please note that we have 70 places for this session. Please register! Interested students who could not sign up, could check the registration regularly in case of cancellations.
