Description
The CMS Experiment introduced a new lightweight format for physics analysis, NanoAOD, during Run 2. Stored as ROOT TTrees, NanoAOD can be read directly with ROOT or with Python libraries such as uproot. Current CMS event displays rely on the larger MiniAOD data tier, which requires CMS-specific software and resources and includes information not available in NanoAOD.
ISpy NanoAOD is a prototype Python package that provides interactive 3D visualization of NanoAOD event content within Jupyter notebooks. Built on uproot, awkward, and pythreejs (a Python–three.js bridge for Jupyter widgets), it offers lightweight, synoptic views of events directly from NanoAOD.
