Z Boson Analysis script in Python based on the C++ version from the 13 TeV ATLAS Open Data Analysis Frameworks. This script analyses and plots the data collected at the Large Hadron Collider and released by CERN in 2019. It aims to identify events where a Z Boson decays into two oppositely charged leptons and plot said events, along with background events, onto a histogram, which will be produced at the end of the analysis. The script utilises the Uproot framework to interact with the ROOT files produced by the ATLAS team.
