48. Hands-On: Analyzing a gamma-ray spectrum

Pablo Cabanelas Eiras

28/01/2020, 13:30

In this tutorial, the participant can learn how to understand and analyze a set of gamma-ray spectra, obtain resolutions and perform automatic calibrations with simple software tools. Only a basic knowledge of C++/ROOT is required. It can be used any computer/laptop, with any OS, and with a working ROOT (https://root.cern.ch/) version installed. Real data acquired in beam tests will be used as...

57. Hands-On: Making the most of your 10 minutes of fame

David Barney (CERN)

28/01/2020, 13:30

Presentations in working meetings and conferences are the culmination of weeks or months of work and are one of our most important communication methods to our peers. Yet the 10-15 minutes they take are often seen as tedious and boring, both by the audience and even the presenter! We will identify, as a group, some simple but effective methods of improving presentations and posters with...

41. Hands-On: Silicon Detector Monte-Carlo Simulations with Allpix Squared

Simon Spannagel (University of Glasgow (GB)), Daniel Hynds (Nikhef National institute for subatomic physics (NL))

28/01/2020, 13:30

Scope of the Tutorial

This tutorial will provide an insight into different functionalities of the Allpix Squared simulation framework. We will not start from zero, and some prior knowledge is required, i.e. the participants should be familiar with the very basic concepts of the framework (how to configure a simulation, how to set up the detector geometry...).
We will look into using...

56. Hands-On: Making the mostof your test-beam time - Understanding the triggering modes of the new AIDA-TLU to optimally match your DAQ system

Lennart Huth (Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DE))

28/01/2020, 16:30

Test-beam time is always limited. The tutorial will introduce the key features to optimally use your test-beam time with the DESY telescopes and the AIDA-TLU., which offers different modes of operation to match to your DAQ requirements. The tutorial consists of three parts:

In the beginning, the required software packages are introduced and installed.

In the second step we will discuss...

52. Hands-On: The Corryvreckan reconstruction software

Jens Kroeger (Ruprecht Karls Universitaet Heidelberg (DE))

28/01/2020, 16:30

Corryvreckan is a modular test beam data reconstruction and analysis framework developed within the CLICdp collaboration. Its modular structure allows for a separation between the framework core and the implementation of the algorithms in each module. This allows users to ‘plug-in’ the wanted modules and configure their parameters easily from one configuration file.

This 2.5h tutorial will...

21. Hands-On: Track reconstruction of testbeam data with EUTelescope

Jan-Hendrik Arling (Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DE))

28/01/2020, 16:30

Scope of the tutorial

In this tutorial, the participant will learn how to reconstruct particle tracks of the EUDET-type telescopes with the EUTelescope framework. EUTelescope has many functionalities to reconstruct your taken testbeam data step by step. After converting the raw data (interface to EUDAQ), it is possible to cluster event entries and form hits on the telescope...
