Step 0: To start the MINERvA masterclass measurement, you need the following information:
- Name of your institute (usually the city)
- Date in the Fermilab time zone (U.S. Central Time)
- Data Group letter
- Data mergedTuple number
Here are some useful resources to help you:
Step 1: Find your Institute, Data Group, and Spreadsheet in this table:
Step 2: Open your Data Group by choosing the letter and find your mergedTuple by its number.

| Date/time (U.S. Central Time) | Institute (Data Group) | Institute (Data Group) | Spreadsheet |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fri 08 Mar/15:00 | Lead (B) | Vermillion (A) | FNAL-MINERvA-2024–03-08 |
| Sat 16 Mar/14:00 | Duluth (C) | Mayaguez (F) | FNAL-MINERvA–03-16a |
| Sat 16 Mar/17:00 | Irvine (E) | FNAL-MINERvA–03-16b | |
| Fri 22 Mar/09:00 & 10:00 | Constantine (D, G) | Durham, UK (A, B, C) | FNAL-MINERvA-2024–03-22 |
| Mon 25 Mar/09:00 | Valencia (A, B, F, G) | FNAL-MINERvA-2024–03-25 |
Step 3: Choose your mergedTuple to open the ARACHNE Simple event display. It will start with your first Gate (also called an Entry; ummm, think of each one as an "Entry Gate" to data in a specific time range). By the way, the first Entry Gate is marked Entry 0.
Notes:
- There is some "fake data" in the beginning of the first mergedTuple for each Data Group in the spreadsheet. It is simply a placeholder. You may (should) write over this when you put your own data in.
- Please enter data only in the space provided: under "Muon" and "Proton". All other space is needed for other purposes. Columns A and B are meant to guide you to the correct lines. Column O and beyond contain formulae and charts that depend on what you enter in Columns C-N.
- Never enter anything but data into the spreadsheet. It is an open sheet set up for numerical analysis. Addition of non-numerical data can ruin the calculations and plots. Putting the wrong or right things in the wrong places can do the same. Please be careful: you are entrusted with a spreadsheet that you share with many other students who depend on it.
