Project:        B11s

Title:          Combined Z to two lepton and Higgs to four lepton distributions from CMS and ATLAS (Open) Data

DESY group:     CMS

Type:           Tandem: On-site part

Duration:       11th july - 10th sep 2021

Description:  Higgs to four lepton distributions from CMS Run I Open Data, and Z to two 
lepton distributions from both CMS and ATLAS Open Data were already studied in previous 
(summer student) projects. All relevant Higgs data from both Run 1 and Run 2 have already 
been published by both collaborations. ATLAS has recently released the full 2016 subset 
of their two- and four-lepton data for educational purposes, sufficiently detailed for 
the purpose of this project. CMS may soon significantly extend its full research 
grade Open Data sets, about doubling the available statistics. Producing combined two- 
and four-lepton distributions from CMS and ATLAS, adapting the already existing tools 
to all available Open Data statistics, will set benchmarks for potential common analysis 
of CMS and ATLAS Open Data.


Special Qualifications expected:
No previous knowledge necessary (learning on the job). Previous knowledge of ROOT, C++, 
linux as well as basic knowledge of particle and/or detector physics would be an advantage.

Cancellation policy: This on-site part of the project may be cancelled any time due
to COVID pandemic restrictions. It will not be transformed into an online project.
