Description

This repository contains an example using the Thermal-FIST package in an interactive Jupyter session. This is achieved through the xeus-cling Jupyter kernel and a C++ interpreter cling

The example presented here is designed for a Linux system. Other operating systems have not been tested.

Pre-requisites

A Python environment with Jupyter Notebook and xeus-cling installed.

Usage

1. Close this repository with the --recurse-submodules option to fetch the Thermal-FIST package automatically.
2. Build Thermal-FIST and Minuit2 as shared libraries:

   cd Thermal-FIST
   mkdir build
   cd build
   cmake -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON -DSTANDALONE_MINUIT=ON ../
   make ThermalFIST

   This will build the shared libraries in folder Thermal-FIST/build/lib.
3. Run jupyter notebook from the repository root directory, open it in browser and try to execute the FitExample.ipynb notebook. If everything is in order, it will perform a thermal fit to ALICE 2.76 TeV Pb-Pb data.
