Course Information
Course Contents/Program
In this workshop we will focus on working efficiently with ROOT, one of the most widely used frameworks in the HEP community. Standard topics will be covered, as well as developments introduced in its most recent major release, ROOT6, which replaces the command-line-interpreter CINT with a fully c++11 compliant just-in-time compiler CLING. We will focus on possible difficulties that analyzers might face as a result of this change, and will explain new features such as parallelism, declarative analysis through the TDataFrame, vectorization, data flow, c++11 features, and more.
The HGS-HIRe PEP is targeted at an audience of doctoral students interested in the topic and advanced undergraduate students.
The focus of the PEP is strongly on educational aspects to enhance the research toolbox of the participants rather than on a scientific
discussion about the results and outcomes of the analyses.
Agenda
Preliminary
The workshop will consist of three different types of sessions.
- Short input presentations ~ max 30 min: Input presentations as kick-off for
hands on sessions;
- Hands on sessions: Participants will be given the opportunity to work with new
and old concepts introduced in the program of the workshop. Also ideas of the
participants can be tested here;
- Longer presentations ~ 30-60 min to give speakers the opportunity to go into
the details of a certain topic.
