MC2 Post 1858 The Atlas Challenge Contest to Find the Higgs

--------------------------------
 

It's Just Programming.

I came to know through a social network (I have many colleagues as friends there, and they usually post more 

useful stuff than cute kittens) that ATLAS has launched a very intriguing competition. One you can participate to, 

if you have some programming skills; no knowledge of 

particle physics is needed.

Don't Pass GO to Get Started. 

 

(heh, heh just kidding.........)


 

Go starting kit

 

Go is a statically-typed programming language (like C/C++) with concurrency builtins to ease coding.

The kit provided here (courtesy of Sébastien Binet, LAL) is the simplest one using Go and nothing else (heavily based on the simplest python kit). It makes a simple window selection on just one variable.
