Analysis Meeting 2/4

Focusing on priority 1: Increase Analysis engagement —> Need to include analysis “module” attached to SCC landing page so people can go from learning to make histograms to real analysis

 

Stephan Kay led today's discussion - stepping through the landing page as it is right now.

 

Olga suggested that a quick start tutorial, that doesn't require knowledge of linux, could be very useful for onboarding summer students.

 

Rongrong suggested that a line or two letting new analyzers know that they don't have to go through each tutorial, rather to grab the ones they want/need for their task is ok.  He also suggests a tutorial on how to submit jobs.

 

Tyler suggests a dictionary on commonly used branches.

 

Discussion about the structure of the actual "physics" analysis reached a conclusion that rather than group analyses by PWG, they should be done by skills needed.  The initial thoughts were:

* Electron ID - Tyler will communicate with Stephen

* Hadron ID - Ralf will communicate with Stephen - he already intended to show a tutorial at the SIDIS working group so this can be ported over.

* Jets - Rongrong/Olga will follow up with Brian to get his code/look at Derek's snippets

* Heavy Flavor - Rongrong will adapt his D0 code

* Muon ID - Sal/Rosi will follow up with EW/BSM group

* Using Far Forward Detectors - Kong will ask Alex to send his code to Stephan

* Kong points out Exclusive already has Zach's nice code available

 

Kong suggests that maybe a diagram showing the phase space the different tutorials cover would be useful.  (Need someone with some artistic talent?)

 

Rosi suggests that instead of a long list of tutorials, they can be grouped together so that people know a little bit better where to go for a specific task.

 

We agree to meet and discuss this again in a month or so to make sure we're following up on the action items.
