ROOT

About ROOT

The ROOT system is a set of C++ object oriented frameworks with all the functionality needed to handle and analyze large amounts of data in a very efficient way. The code is open source, it is developed at CERN, and widely used for data acquisition, analysis, simulations, etc. in nuclear physics and related fields.

MURE code available from RSICC uses the ROOT framework for time-stepping of MCNP calculations.

Running ROOT

To set up environmental variables for ROOT use: module load root

You can also load a specific ROOT version such as:

module load root/5.34.10

You can add the above to your ~/.bashrc, so it will get executed any time you log in.

Then run ROOT by: $ root
