Topical Lectures "QCD"

Mar 10, 2025, 9:30 AM → Mar 12, 2025, 6:00 PM Europe/Amsterdam

Colloquium Room (Nikhef)

IMPORTANT

For the tutorial on day 1 you need to download the git repository https://gitlab.com/mcbeekveld/tutorial-nll-shower/ and follow the instructions in the README. It is important you do this before the start of the tutorial, as there won't be enough time to help people to set up the required software. 

For the tutorial on day 2 you need to be able to read in either a HDF5 or a ROOT file.
