Description
Simulated dataset MinBias_TuneZ2star_8TeV-pythia6 in AODSIM format for 2012 collision data.
See the description of the simulated dataset names in: About CMS simulated dataset names.
These simulated datasets correspond to the collision data collected by the CMS experiment in 2012.

Output dataset: /MinBias_TuneZ2star_8TeV-pythia6/Summer12_DR53X-PU_S10_START53_V7A-v1/AODSIM
To make these simulated data comparable with the collision data, pile-up events are added to the simulated event in this step.
The pile-up dataset is:

How were these data validated?
The generation and simulation of Monte Carlo data has been validated through general CMS validation procedures.
How can you use these data?
You can access these data through the CMS Open Data container or the CMS Virtual Machine. See the instructions for setting up one of the two alternative environments and getting started in
