Purpose

The purpose of the Summer 2017 Analysis workshop is to provide a setting in which users will have an opportunity to learn the details of the Hall A & C Analyzers
These talks, tutorials, and hands-on sessions will be catered towards graduate students to help familiarize them with doing physics analyses with Jefferson Lab experimental data
The sessions will be interleaved with Hall A, therefore they will be as generalized as possible
All sessions will be recorded on BlueJeans and posted to the wiki page of future reference
Each session will contain exercises that will also serve as homework

The workshop will take place at:

DATES: June 26 - 27, 2017
