Course Description. Course description / synopsis Particle physics experiments generate large amounts of data that has to be processed using specialised computational tools. Besides understanding of the physical process that is being studied, the analyst has to know the data-handling workflow and potential pitfalls. Batch-processing computer systems are frequently used. Computer code writing has two sides. On one hand, the analyst should be able to compose short specialised codes to process reduced datasets. On the other hand, experimental data code handling relies on a large and intricate code framework, understanding of which is needed for a meaningful contribution to the extensive collaborative efforts. These topics are presented at an advanced level. The materials of HEP Software foundation are extensively used. Please, provide a brief course overview/description/synopsis. Pre-requisite competencies C/C++ and python programming skills. Basic use of Linux OS. Knowledge of introductory level particle physics. Describe the necessary competencies, knowledge and skills required in order to be able to successfully take part in this course. Competencies to be gained Students will understand the compressed experimental data formats (e.g. the ROOT framework that is used by the LHC experiments).
