Getting Started with ATLAS

Basic Infrastructure

• KARMAROOTRA
• Get full TWiki access
• Get a local PPE account set up and setting up ATLAS software at Glasgow
• Pointers for external access
• Get CERN and ATLAS computing accounts and get an lxplus account
• Aquiring a Grid Certificate
• Setting up Grid Certificate
• To get access to the grid
• Setting Up a Grid UI or DDM access on your own machine
• Glasgow Machines at CERN

ATLAS Software Training

ATLAS software uses basically two languages: C++ and python. There are many online resources where you can learn the basics of these languages (e.g., C++ and python), however, you need to supplement that information with knowledge of how ATLAS uses these languages.

ATLAS Offline Software Tutorial

• Basic tutorial on coding, but mainly on the essentials of analysing ATLAS data

ATLAS Software Development Tutorial

• Tutorial on software design and coding, with an emphasis on the ATLAS Athena Framework

ATLAS Computing WorkBook

• Twiki guide to coding in ATLAS

The ATLAS Physics Analysis Workbook

• For further Exercises In Data Analysis

Also, the SUPA courses on ROOT, C++ and python are recommended (aka ROO, COO and PYT).

Running ATLAS Software At Glasgow

• Using subversion at Glasgow (not required for SVN access to CERN)
• How to setup and run athena at Glasgow
• Notes on xAOD mini-tutorial at Glasgow

ATLAS at CERN

• Atlas Meetings
• Main Atlas experiment site
• Atlas Computing
• Bug tracking in ATLAS
• http://atlas-runquery.cern.ch/ - Run Query tool for ATLAS and a very nice talk on how to use it
• ATLAS eLog - Status of ATLAS runs. NB: You need a "P1 Account" to access this with 'nice' credentials.
