Developing a Plotting Tool to Study the Higgs Boson Production mode ttHH with the ATLAS Detector at CERN

POSTER

Abstract

At CERN, analysis of particle statistics can be very repetitive and time consuming. It is important that analysis groups spend time making programs readable and easily reconfigurable. I developed a plotting tool in C++ using the ROOT plotting framework, in order to cut down on repetitive tasks for my analysis group within the ATLAS collaboration at CERN. With the use of a JSON parsing library in C++, we configure plots seperately from the plotting program, in a JSON configuration file. This allows for researchers to configure plot data and styles without the need to recompile our program. This research project helps minimize the time consuming element of plotting kinematic and multiplicity data so that physicists can spend more of their time doing the important statistical analysis of di-Higgs events.
