First LHCb Open Data and Ntuple Wizard Workshop

Tuesday 22 Oct 2024, 13:00 → 18:00 Europe/Zurich

160/1-009 (CERN)

Dillon Fitzgerald (University of Michigan (US)), Eduardo Rodrigues (University of Liverpool (GB))

At this first LHCb Open Data and Ntuple Wizard Workshop, the innovative application for analyzing LHCb open data, the LHCb Ntuple Wizard & Ntupling Service, will be presented. Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in the beta release of the application and learn how to use LHCb Open Data for their own analyses.

This workshop is run as a "satellite event" to the workshop Implications of LHCb measurements and future prospects (IW) held at CERN on Oct. 23-25. 

The workshop is in-person only. Registration and CERN hostel reservations are done via the IW links provided on the left-hand-side menu.

Organizing Committee

Dillon Fitzgerald - University of Michigan
Eduardo Rodrigues - University of Liverpool

Live Notes

1 Introduction to LHCb Ntuple Wizard & Ntupling Service

An introduction to the LHCb Ntuple Wizard & Ntupling Service, an application for making requests for Ntuples with LHCb open data. This will conclude with the beta release of the application to a fixed participant list.

Speaker: Dillon Fitzgerald (University of Michigan (US))

2 Walkthrough and Example with Q/A

Live demonstration to familiarize attendees with the process of requesting Ntuples using the LHCb Ntupling Service. The audience is welcome and encouraged to follow along since the beta will be live!

This will be followed by an example with a premade Ntuple ready for analysis, along with some tips on getting started. The goal is to give a sense of what can be accomplished with the data output from the LHCb Ntupling Service.

Questions are welcome and encouraged throughout!

Speakers: Dillon Fitzgerald (University of Michigan (US)), Franz Ludwig Kramer (University of Bonn (DE))

5 Open Discussion with Initial Feedback

Collect initial reactions and feedback from the audience on the LHCb Ntuple Ntupling Service. We can record the feedback from the discussion and use it to improve the application before the public release. During this timeslot, we can also introduce a mechanism for beta users to provide feedback during the duration of the beta.

Speaker: Eduardo Rodrigues (University of Liverpool (GB))
