Description
This exercise will perform a measurement of the top quark pair production cross section at a center of mass energy of 13.6 TeV, using data recorded by CMS in 2022. Based on a simplified version of the first CMS publication from LHC Run 3, the measurement will focus on the dilepton decay channels. A modern python-based framework will be used, with some dependence on the scikit-HEP package library (uproot, awkward arrays) and Coffea, highlighting the speed of columnar-based analysis and the CMS NanoAOD data tier. Students will start from a minimal working example and add their own cuts, histograms, and uncertainties to produce a measurement.
