CERN - Open Data Analysis

The aim of this part is to analyze some open data provided by CERN

Connecting to METU Physics Server

We are going to use METU Physics Server (IP number: 144.122.31.1).
username and password will be given during the lecture.

Open mobaXterm in windows or open terminal in Linux/Mac and connect to server

  $ ssh username@144.122.31.1
I'll show you ssh, rdp, sftp applications during the lecture.

Starting root and pyroot

To start using root classes and module, initially you should type the following in terminal:

  $ module start root
  $ alias root='root --web=off'
To run root macro written in c++

  $ root myprogram.C
To run pyroot macro written in python

  $ pyroot myprogram.py
To open root files

  $ root myhistogram.root

Aleph Data Analysis

We have two files (MC and data) collected in 1991 (about 2.8 GB)

  $ ll /hepdata/Aleph/
  total 2879696
