- Detector prerequisites (1)
Particle Data Group: chapter 27 "Passage of particles through matter", chapter 28.11 "Silicon detectors" (especially 28.12. "Low noise electronics" and 28.15 "Measurement of particle momenta")
- C++ prerequisites (1)
This is a detailed presentation about C++ and object-oriented programming (courtesy of M.G. Pisa, INFN Genova). It can be used to introduce the C++ language. Slides 1 to 42 introduce basic concepts of C++. From slides 43 onwards more advanced concepts are introduced - this second part is not needed to solve the tutorial exercise and is merely provided as reference and as optional material.
Additional references can be found at: http://www.ge.infn.it/geant4/training/books.html
A commented (and long) C++ tutorial can be found at: http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/
- C++ prerequisites (2)
A small set of mandatory C++ exercises in a tarball. Please load down and try it out.
- Statistics prerequisites
Particle data book section on probability. This is really basic knowledge on probabilities and distributions.
- ROOT preequisites
Participants are requested to run (and understand) the following ROOT macros from the above mentioned link: fillrandom.C, h1draw.C, draw2dopt.C, logscales.C, rebin.C
- ROOT fitting prerequisites
Please run myfit.C from the above link. Another nice tutorial is the TestBinomial.C - however this one is rather advanced!

Nice and comprehensive article on fitting
More prerequisites, especially on ROOT, to be defined.
