Belle2Lab - An Interactive Tool for a Public Analysis of the Belle II Data

Abstract

Several data samples from a Belle II experiment will be available to the public as a part of the experiment outreach activities. A Belle2Lab tool is designed as an interactive graphical user interface to reconstructed particles, offering users basic particle selection tools. The tool is based on a Blockly JavaScript graphical code generator and can be run in an HTML5 capable browser. It allows a description of different particle decays by selecting and combining particles from the data file, easy histogramming tools and a display of the results by using the JSROOT library. During the analysis, the user has the possibility to apply cuts to the selected variables. A pseudo-code generated by the user interface is sent to the execution server which returns the histograms, that can also be interactively fitted. The Belle2Lab is accessible in two ways: hosted on a single public web server or as a part of the virtual appliance which consists of an Ubuntu 16.04 LTS operating system, a data sample, an analysis framework, and a private web server. The public web server can be used for a single access while the virtual appliance is more suited for a use in a classroom. *
