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:
| Date/time CT | Institute (Data Group) | Institute (Data Group) | Institute (Data) | Spreadsheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tue 01 Jan/00:00 | North Pole Practice Team (P) | FNAL-01Jan2019 | ||
| Thu 14 Mar/11:45 | Rochester (A) | Syracuse (E) | FNAL-14Mar2019 | |
| Fri 29 Mar 15:00 | Barranquilla (B) | Lead (C) | FNAL-29Mar2019 | |
| Fri 29 Mar 21:00 | Qingdao (D) | FNAL-29Mar2019 | ||
| Sat 06 Apr/14:00 | Fairfax (D) | Mayaguez (F, G) | Knoxville (E) | FNAL-06Apr2019A |
| Sat 06 Apr/16:00 | Minneapolis (G) | Fort Collins (E) | FNAL-06Apr2019B | |
| Thu 11 Apr/09:00 | Valencia (C, D) | FNAL-11Apr2019 | ||
| Thu 11 Apr/15:00 | Batavia (F) | FNAL-11Apr2019 |
Step 2: Open your Data Group by chooing the letter and find your mergedTuple by its number.
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 Colums 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.
Survey - do at the end!
Please take this student survey online after the videoconference. Each student should take this individually.
