Welcome to the UKZN ATLAS TWiki

These pages are intended for posting information useful for physics analysis in ATLAS. Feel free to include anything you think might be useful.

Access is restricted to the UKZN ATLAS group.

ATLAS UKZN Mailing List

An e-group (mailing list) for all members of the UKZN ATLAS group has been created with the name atlas-sa-ukzn@cernNOSPAMPLEASE.ch . If you are not on this list then go to the e-groups page (https://groups.cern.ch/Pages/default.aspx), search for the e-group name and sign up. N.B. This page doesn't work using Safari for some reason so you'll have to use your second favourite browser instead.

Coming to CERN

• UKZNAtlasInitiation - Lots of information to help you plan a trip CERN and what to do when you get here. Read it before you make and travel plans.

Physics Interests

The following is a list of analysis topics of interest to the group. Click on the links to see more information for any given analysis.

• H+ -> tau nu (hadronic)

• MSSM h, H and A Searches

• SM H -> tau tau

• SM Z -> tau tau

• Leptoquark Searches

• H->ZZ->4l

• ZH->(ll) INV and H->ZZ->llvv

Analysis Practicalities

• Screen commands - To leave jobs running on lxplus.

• WitsCoreSetup - Running locally with ATLAS releases.

• BrowsingAtlasCode - Browse the ATLAS code repositories.

• AnalysisTools - Some useful tools to know about when doing an analysis.

• AnalysisExtras - All the extra bits you need to include in your analysis (e.g. momentum smearing and pile-up re-weighting tools). N.B. Release 16.

• Liverpool ATLAS TWiki - lots of useful stuff on here, though beware that some of the info is Liverpool specific!

• Instructions for installation of CernVM on OSX (for your local analysing pleasure)

• ROOT - Some basic information to get you started using ROOT.

• ATLAS Beginners ROOT - ROOT tutorial for beginners with focus on ATLAS analyses.

• ATLAS Grid Workbook - Getting started on the grid.

• Good Runs List (GRL) tutorial

• Luminosity information

ATLAS shifts

• General types of ATLAS shifts

• OTP - Operation Task Planner

• SCT shifts

• Training for SCT shifts
