Accompanied by a Jupyter Notebook, this video will lead you further into PyROOT data analysis to teach you how to code selection cuts and explain some of the key physical phenomena happening when particles collide at the LHC.

What you'll learn in this video:
- Understanding the basics behind High Energy Particle Physics at the LHC, four-vector, and four-momentum
- Coding selection cuts and defining four-momentum in PyROOT
