Reconstructing the Higgs mass with multivariate techniques (BRTs)
Reconstructing the Higgs mass with multivariate techniques (BRTs) I first heard of the CERN summer student program in the summer of 2011 while working at TRIUMF, the Canadian cyclotron facility. There, I worked in the ATLAS Canada group on a Higgs to ZZ analysis, and heard a lot of amazing stories about CERN from other

Working with the CERN-VM File System
Working with the CERN-VM File System I learned about the summer student program from a friend. I knew that CERN was most known about physics and at that time mainly about the discovery of the Higgs Boson, but I also knew that such a domain and discovery required an extraordinary level of innovative technology and

At CERN for the first time
At CERN for the first time First of all let me say few words about myself. I’m a student of Lomosov Moscow State University. I’m working in single top analysis in CMS (Moscow group) for about 1.5 years. The work I’m doing is statistical analysis for my group. I’m interested in particle physics, physics analysis.
