Making SiPixel Templates

The CMS Pixel detector consists of 4 layers in the Barrel (BPIX) and 3 disks in each of the endcaps (FPIX) made of millions of silicon pixel sensors. Charged particles pass through the silicon pixels, and multiple hits together form particle tracks. Hit reconstruction at the layer - level is performed by the Generic and Template algorithms. In this tutorial series, Morris goes through the procedure of making templates which are used by the Template algorithm to reconstruct hits with excellent resolution.

All the information for the tutorial series can be found in Sanjana's CERNBox.
