Revision as of 08:23, 7 July 2013

Purpose

The purpose of this tutorial/workshop session will be to give an introduction to using the Hall-D analysis tools. It is open to anyone either inside or outside the GlueX collaboration who has an interest in doing physics inside Hall-D. The tutorial will cover the basics of:

• Physics Analysis Framework
• Using Boosted Decision Trees
• Amplitude Analysis using AmpTools

The tutorial will consist of a series of talks with exercises, along with room for questions/discussion.

Location and Time

The tutorial will take place:

DATE: July. 10-11, 2013

TIME: 8:30am to 6:00pm EDT (i.e. JLab time).

LOCATION: CEBAF Center L102 - L104
