What are we going to cover?
- Basic goal: showing you how to write and run a minimal task to do analysis
- No physics here - just getting it up and running
What's the aim?
- At the end of this session, you'll understand what happens in your task (what is a ClassDef(), what //-> means, etc...)
As we'll go along, we'll explore (very) basic but also a bit more advanced concepts
- The full source code is available in the tutorial, here we just show snippets
- We assume that AliPhysics is running on your machine
You can find more tutorials, presentation and recorded sessions on the analysis tutorial webpage.
