Course Objective

After taking this course, students should be able to evaluate quality of acquired data and understand the typical data evaluation methodology as well as to carry out many steps single-handed.

Course Layout

Statistics in evaluation of data acquired in modern detectors, its implementation methods, e.g. detector properties assessment, particle tracks and their intersections (vertices) reconstruction, fitting, measurement error evaluation and evaluation tools - program framework ROOT.
