This repository contains code used for the short jet exercise of the CMS Data Analysis School 2024.
This tutorial is intended to provide you with the basics you need in order to deal with jets in your analysis. We start with the basics of what is a jet, how are they reconstructed, what algorithms are used, etc. Then we give examples with scripts on how to access jets and use them in your analysis frameworks, including corrections and systematics. In the second part of the exercise, we examine jet substructure algorithms, which have many uses including the identification of hadronic decays of heavy SM particles like top quarks, W, Z, and H bosons, as well as mitigation of pileup and others.
The tutorial is designed to be executed in CERN-SWAN and followed in the JMEDAS 2024 website, where you find links to instructional slides and instructions that walk you through the exercises.

This is the master branch copied with some modifications from the central JME-CMSDAS.
The website uses the carpentry software. If you want to modify it, use the gh-pages branch and follow the recommendations from the carpentry style.
