High Energy Physics Analysis with Root Trees

Victor Ogunjimi - CU Physics M.S. Student

Root is a powerful histogramming software package used for analysis by High Energy Physics Laboratories. Root Tree is a structure in Root used for storing and accessing large volume of data. I will report the work I have done so far, in the High Energy Physics group, with Root and the work we just began on identifying ALICE electrons using Root Tree functionalities.
