Description

This tutorial will cover aspects related to data analysis at LHC.
In HYPATIA session you will learn how to identify particles in a detector like ATLAS and CMS.
The purpose of the OpenData is to understand the role of the kinematic variables in (any) data analysis that aims to maximize a signal while mitigating the background.

Instructions to run HYPATHIA

(1) Download script 'startHypathia.sh' it should be copied to Downloads folder.
Open a terminal and type:
(2) bash
(3) cp Dowloads/startHypathia.sh
(4) source startHypathia.sh
The script description is:
- creates a directory HYPATHIA
- downloads the java application and the events
- loads a web page on firefox with further instructions on the exercise
- lauches the application
In Hypathia application
(5) Choose the correct set of events (*.xml files) seen in HYPATHIA directory
