Analysis Jamboree

The participants are welcome to stay longer at BNL if they find it beneficial, but please check the availability of personnel you intend to interact with.

We hope that this environment would provide an added benefit for bringing collaborators of similar physics interests to work together, not just at the Analysis Week, but thereafter as well.

If you are interested to participate, please let us know what specific topics are of interest to you, and any special requirements on the working environment (datasets, experts, computing resources etc). The CSC analysis topics of the physics and combined performance groups are documented by this page CSCSpreadSheet.

If you are relatively new to ATLAS, and not familiar with the analysis software, we suggest you follow the existing tutorials provided by the Physics Analysis Tools group. The most recent tutorial designed for USATLAS is this one USATLASAnalysisTutorial1105.

We intent to make the CSC11 AOD datasets available at the Tier-1 center. Together with the distributed analysis tool (pathena) , this should allow us to process many of the datasets.

Location

Please refer to the BNL Map for directions to lab and the physics department.

Registration

Attendees who already hold a valid BNL Guest Badge may come on site without notification to the main gate. Attendees who already have approved guest appointments, but not a Guest Badge will have to notify the BNL main gate of their arrival. All others must apply for the BNL guest appointment by completing the Brookhaven's Guest Registration Form well in advance of the meeting. You will be notified when the guest appointment is approved. Obtaining a BNL computer account at USATLAS Tier-1 also requires an approved guest appointment. When you arrive at BNL with the approved guest appointment for the first time, you must stop at the security office by the main entrance where you will be issued a temporary pass, then proceed to the RHIC/AGS Users' Office to complete the check-in procedure.

NON-US citizens without BNL guest appointment should complete the registration form as soon as possible, since it takes additional time for the approval process, especially for people from sensitive countries.
