| contents | This note summarizes the lectures given in the tutorial session of the Introduction to the Terascale school at DESY on March 2023. The target audience are advanced bachelor and master physics students. The tutorial aims to best prepare the students for starting an LHC experimental physics thesis. The cross section of the top quark pair production is detailed alongside with the reconstruction of the invariant masses of the top quark as well as of the $W$ and $Z$ bosons. The tutorial uses ideas and CMS open data files from the CMS HEP Tutorial written by C. Sander and A. Schmidt, but is entirely rewritten so that it can be run in Google Colab Cloud in a columnar style of analysis with python. In addition, a minimal C/C++ version of a simple event-loop analysis relying on ROOT is exampled. The code is kept as short as possible with emphasis on the transparency of the analysis steps, rather than the elegance of the software, having in mind that the students will in any case need to rewrite their own custom analysis framework. |
