Examples of basic analysis techniques for neutral meson and photon data from the PHENIX detector

It aims to present a few basic techniques of identifying π0-s and photons using that device. The data is provided in the form of ROOT files containing small samples (Ntuples) of reconstructed p+Au data taken with the PHENIX detector in 2015 at √sNN=200 GeV.

The Gamma-Gamma Ntuples (ggntuple) and Single Cluster Ntuples (gnt) are provided. Both minimum bias and EMCal-triggered data are included. <em>These samples were created for educational and training purposes only and are not at all usable for deriving any real physics results.</em> An example code working with the data is attached as ROOT macros. A detailed guide is also provided.
