Summary: ROOT is an Object-Oriented framework developed at CERN and used by many High Energy or Nuclear Physics experiments. ROOT provides data storage and data access techniques to analyze interactively large data sets.
The talk will be a short introduction to the system including demonstration of some of the features likely to be used by the students in the following weeks.
Prerequisite knowledge: ROOT is written in C++ and includes a C++ interpreter.
Knowledge of C++ is required as well as some familiarity with Object-Oriented programming.
