Description

Solving a physics problem with computing (TIPP): By group of two, students receive a simplified problem related to a research topic conducted in one of the IPHC groups. The game is to solve the problem with a computer program written from scratch and inspired by the statistical data analysis lecture. The program is elaborated from scratch, based on the tools seen during the first semester : ROOT, PYTHON, possibly GEANT4.
The project span over 3-4 weeks and students are followed by a tutor for technical help. Results are then discussed with the research group and summarized in the form of a short scientific paper followed by a defense.
