Sisältö
ROOT, PYTHIA and FastJet program packets and data analysis using these packets; basics of detection of particles; phenomenology of proton-proton collisions; finite acceptance, detector efficiency; mixed event method; methods to subtract the background from raw signal; invariant mass method; (azimuthal) two-particle correlations; jet reconstruction.
Suoritustavat
Programming assignments, project work.
Arviointiperusteet
Course points are earned from weekly programming assignments (50 %) and programming project work (50 %). Passing of the course requires that project work is returned and accepted, and 50 % of the total points is reached. The project work is accepted when minimum of 50 % of its portion to course grading is achieved.
Osaamistavoitteet
At the end of the course, students will be able to qualitatively explain how common detectors in particle physics work. They will be able to simulate proton-proton collisions with PYTHIA event generator and explain the basics of phenomenology implemented in PYTHIA-code as well as use ROOT-packet in the data analysis. They will be able to ably apply invariant mass method when applicable and use the FastJet-packet in jet reconstruction. Also, they will be able to use basic methods to correct measured raw signal, particularly mixed events method and correcting finite detector efficiency.
Lisätietoja
Autumn 2nd period, every year.
Esitietojen kuvaus
Particle physics (FYSS4300), which can be taken simultaneously. The course contains programming in C++ and thus, programming experience with some object oriented language is assumed.
Oppimateriaalit
Lecture notes and other electronic material, online guides.
