Description

Welcome to the induction week for the 2019 LIP Summer Student Program!

It starts on Monday, July 15th, 9h20. In Lisbon, we will meet in the Auditorium of the LIP building (3Is, see map). At Minho University, the room is CP3, 3.02. At Coimbra, the room is AD1 at the Physics Department. 

The agenda for the week is organized according to the following daily format:

  • 9:30-11:30: Lectures
  • 11:30-12:30: Tutoring conversations between students and researchers
  • 14:00-17:00: Hands-on tutorials and exercises

Except for the first two hours of lectures, the remaining sessions are of an interactive nature, where students pose their questions and carry out exercices facilitated by the researchers,

Lectures will be broadcasted through vidoconference, while the remaining sessions will take place at each location (Lisbon, Coimbra, Braga).

In Lisbon: lectures will take place in the auditorium of the LIP building (3Is), the tutoring conversations will take place in smaller rooms also at 3Is, and the hands-on sessions (afternoons) will be at FCUL (rooms will be specified directly on the agenda).

        Introduction to Linux and C++ 1.5.10

        1.5.10

        FCUL

        Introduction to basic linux (bash) and C++. Students who have never contacted with a terminal should attend this session rather than the ROOT one.

        Basic bash commands, basic input output in C++, for loop and if condition.

        Speakers: Ana Luisa Carvalho (LIP), Diogo Bastos, Mariana Araújo

        Introduction to ROOT 1.5.11

        1.5.11

        FCUL

        This session is intended for students who already had some contact with a terminal and some C++ fluency. The basics of the ROOT framework will be introduced. This session is repeated on Tuesday for students who took the concurrent session.

        There will be three topics:
        - ROOT inline
        - TBrowser
        - ROOT macro

        To install root on your computer (if you wish) you'll need to install all the software that ROOT depends on. You can find it per distribution here:
        https://root.cern.ch/build-prerequisites
        Still, sometimes somethings can still be needed.

        If you're using linux you can run the install_root.sh script (after installing the needed dependencies) and it should install in your computer. You can run it in a terminal:
        bash install_root.sh
        Or you can open the script in a text editor and run the steps one by one.

        If you use Windows we deeply recomend you make a dual boot with linux or create a virtual machine. Further information on the ROOT instaltion:
        https://root.cern.ch/building-root

        If you choose to run the script install_root.sh, the next time you open a terminal you should be able to run root by typing:
        root

        LHC: HYPATIA and OpenData FCUL 1.5.12

        FCUL 1.5.12

        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
