Using the ALICE analysis framework
ALICE physicists use custom tools that facilitate the analysis of real or simulated ALICE data samples. This example demonstrates the use of the ALICE analysis framework on small samples of both pp and PbPb data taken in the year 2010. The user analysis is represented by a C++ class, which has to implement a few predefined methods to process one interaction event. A template analysis class extracting the inclusive transverse momentum and pseudorapidity spectra of all tracks can be modified to create your own analysis.
This example requires further reading on the ALICE event data model, which can be found here:
