Dataset Simulated Standard Model Physics QCD CMS 13TeV pp CERN-LHC
Simulated dataset QCD_Pt_300to470_TuneCP5_13TeV_pythia8 in NANOAODSIM format for 2016 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 2016.
NANOAODSIM datasets are in the ROOT tree format and their analysis does not require the use of CMSSW or CMS open data environments. They can be analysed with common ROOT and Python tools.

To make these simulated data comparable with the collision data, pile-up events are added to the simulated event in the DIGI2RAW step.
The pile-up dataset is:
/Neutrino_E-10_gun/RunIISummer20ULPrePremix-UL16_106X_mcRun2_asymptotic_v13-v1/PREMIX
The generation and simulation of Monte Carlo data has been validated through general CMS validation procedures.
You can access these data through XRootD protocol or direct download, and they can be analysed with common ROOT and Python tools. See the instructions for getting started in
