Course content
The course "Modern computational codes in high energy physics" will allow students to master modern ideas about experimental and theoretical approaches used to model the processes of interaction of elementary particles, both at the hadron level and at the level of detecting devices. • Master the ROOT Framework as a data processing tool in PVE.
• Get acquainted with the Python software package, its features when used in data analysis in PVE.
• Master the Minuit minimization package and its application for data fitting in PVE.
• Get acquainted with the MATLAB software package, its capabilities for complex data analysis in PVE.
