This project will take you through the process of analysing data from the LHCb experiment looking for a difference in the rate of production of matter and anti-matter from B-meson decay. The project is aimed at the level of advanced high school students, undergraduates and particle physics enthusiasts. As this is essentially large scale data analysis you will be doing some programming.
This analysis will be done in the python programming language. Do not fear if you have not used python before, there is guidance and hints throughout the notebook. There is also an example analysis that will give you examples of how to do everything within the analysis, you just need to adapt the code for physics.
Hopefully you will have come to this page through the LHCb open data portal and everware.
If so then you just need to click the "LHCb open data portal project" notebook in order
to get started. If you have access to an everware instance
you can try out this repository simply by surfing there and then pasting
