Despina Hatzifotiadou: ALICE Master Classes' introductory tutorials - Rehearsal 2

Wednesday 13 Jul 2016, 10:00 → 11:30 Europe/Zurich

513/R-068 (CERN)

Rehearsal of part 3 in the list below.

Overall objective of this video series: 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 test recording was done with quicktime on Despina's Mac.

It covers points 3 and 4 of the plan above.
