Analysis of Large Data Sets


In this exercise, experience was gained with processing a large data set using ROOT. The system studied was a photo-induced reaction off a proton to produce an unstable nucleon resonance that quickly decays into a proton and two neutral pions. The goal of this project was to process the data into histograms representing the invariant masses of the initial transition states.
