Description
In January and March 2010, two combined MarieCurie / Alliance training events on Geant4 and ROOT data analysis will take place at DESY (Hamburg).
- The second event, which is designed for young scientists from the Helmholtz Alliance will take place from March 4-6. This is the INDICO page for this event!
For more information see http://www.terascale.de/schools_and_workshops/geant2010/ or contact the organisers (anacen@desy.de).
The events will combine introductory lectures and hands-on experience on the following topics:↵
1. Simple fitting techniques using ROOT.↵
2. Monte Carlo methods and simple applications.↵
3. The physics of a beam telescope made of Si-strip detectors↵
4. Introduction to GEANT4 and simulation of a beam telescope made of high resolution silicon strip detectors – simulate data for further analysis.↵
5. Analysis of the beam telescope data: clustering and position reconstruction, simple track fit, determination of position resolution and detection efficiency, effects of multiple scattering, track extrapolation errors and basic detector alignment.↵
6. Determination of the position resolution of a Si-strip detector as function of angle of incidence.↵
