Online Analysis of CMS Data with VISPA
RWTH Aachen University in Germany
Documentation Activities External resource Education CMS CERN-LHC
Description
With the VISPA internet platform you can perform physics analyses with CMS public data in a web browser. Begin with the discovery of a boson in an example analysis. Then, you can develop your own ideas and visualise the scientific results.VISPA is developed at the RWTH Aachen University in Germany and is used for teaching data analysis, e.g. in courses on particle and astroparticle physics for third-year undergraduate physics students.
Use with
This tutorial is using a small fraction (50 pb-1) of real CMS data taken in 2011, stored in plain root tuples, to facilitate simplified analysis (the CMS collaboration board has agreed that this particular dataset can be released for educational purposes).
