Data recorded in 2010 and published in 2014Dataset Derived Education CMS CERN-LHC
Description
The collaboration approved the release of 2000 dielectron events around the J/psi for use in education and outreach. This record contains the necessary files for these use-cases.
These data were selected for use in education and outreach and contain a subset of the total event information. The selection criteria may be different from that used in CMS physics results. They are not suitable for a full physics analysis.

2000 events.Dataset semantics
| Variable | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Run | The run number of the event. | |
| Event | The event number. | |
| E | The total energy of the electron (GeV). | |
| px,py,pz | The components of the momemtum of the electron (GeV). | |

| phi | The phi angle of the electron (rad). | |
| Q | The charge of the electron. | |
| M | The invariant mass of two electrons (GeV). |
How were these data selected?
The events in this derived dataset were selected because of the presence of two electrons with invariant mass between 2-5 GeV.
How can you use these data?
Files with the extension .ig are JSON files containing information suitable for visual display. The data can be accessed from the file menu of the online event display. Comma-separated value (csv) files can be used in online applications such as the histogram visualizer and other applications, examples are given in
