This tutorial will introduce the matrix-element method and will be use to extract the top-quark mass from a data sample. For this you will learn how to use MadWeight, a program which performs the phase-space integration and returns the weight of the matrix-element method. We will discuss the speed issue and the various options in MadWeight to reduce the cpu-time of your computation.

16. MemTk (Matrix Element Toolkit) Tutorial

Oliver Maria Kind (Humboldt-Universitaet zu Berlin (DE)), Patrick Rieck (Humboldt-Universitaet zu Berlin (DE)), Soren Stamm (Humboldt-Universitaet zu Berlin (DE))

10/11/2015, 16:40

This session will include a tutorial for tools developed for MEM calculation and lightning talks about recent experience with MEM in ATLAS and CMS.

52. Recent Experience, Challenges, & Discussion

Lorenzo Bianchini (Eidgenoessische Tech. Hochschule Zuerich (CH)), Olaf Nackenhorst (Universite de Geneve (CH)), Olivier Pierre C Mattelaer (IPPP Durham), Patrick Rieck (Humboldt-Universitaet zu Berlin (DE))
