Hands-on workshop with open data

Tuesday 15 Aug 2023, 09:00 → 12:00 Europe/Zurich

513/1-024 (CERN)

Kalle Vihtori Raikisto (Helsinki Institute of Physics (FI)), Kati Lassila-Perini (Helsinki Institute of Physics (FI))

Waiting for the next collider? Do not look further, get hands-on with real e+e- data now!

 

In this workshop, you will work have a chance to compare real collision data from e+e- and pp collisions. You will see how to measure the Z boson width and learn what makes the precision in the e+e- data analysis in comparison with hadron colliders.

 

We will be using Python tools in Jupyter notebooks and data from the DELPHI and CMS experiments.

Take note that this is not a tutorial for HEP-specific analysis tools. The data files are in the csv (comma separated values) format, derived from the original research-level data sets. For analysis, simple tools from pandas, numpy and scipy packages are used.
