LHCb Starterkit 2020

2 Nov 2020, 09:00 → 6 Nov 2020, 17:00 Europe/Zurich

ZOOM

Andrew George Morris (University of Warwick (GB)), Biljana Mitreska (University of Manchester (GB)), David Anthony Friday (University of Glasgow (GB)), Lakshan Ram Madhan Mohan (University of Bristol (GB))

The Starterkit is a five day event which will get you ready for analysing LHCb data. This is a hands-on workshop and this year it will be fully virtual and take place over ZOOM. It is recommended to download and run the most recent desktop client to fully benefit from this workshop. We will be using the breakout room feature of Zoom to get individual help from demonstrators during the lessons. If needed the demonstrator could request remote access to your screen to help with your problem.

The first part of the Starterkit will be an introduction to the tools you'll use day to day during your PhD, including Bash, Git, and Python.

The second part will focus on LHCb specific software, tasks and questions. The source material is available on the first analysis steps site.

Attendees should make sure to follow the course prerequisites before attending the workshop.

Until the workshop, new members to LHCb are invited to follow the content at the analysis-essentials and first-analysis-steps sites.
