Despina Hatzifotiadou: ALICE Master Classes' introductory tutorials - Rehearsal 1

Wednesday 6 Jul 2016, 16:00 → 18:30 Europe/Zurich

513/1-024 (CERN)

This rehearsal focused on the ffmeg and accessory scripts' installation on the lecturer's Mac. This experience showed that using Quicktime is smoother for Mac users. 

Hence, the video attached to this agenda page.

What this series will cover is: Short classes by physicists conducting the masterclasses sessions, i.e. experienced with general public audience. Example: Looking for strange particles with ALICE http://aliceinfo.cern.ch/Public/MasterCL/MasterClassWebpage.html

1. Introduction to first part of the exercise : what are strange particles, V0 decays, invariant mass.
2. Introduction to second part of the exercise : strangeness enhancement; centrality of lead-lead collisions; explanation of efficiency, yield, background etc
3. Demonstration of the software for the 1st part of the exercise - visual identification of V0s
4. Demonstration of the software for the 2nd part of the exercise - invariant mass spectra - background subtraction and calculation of number of Kaons, Lambdas, antiLambdas.

This use case was present in the original e-learning project description http://it-student-projects.web.cern.ch/projects/e-learning-modules

This first test recording was done with quicktime on Despina's Mac.

It covers points 1 and 2 of the plan above.
