note = "In this project we reproduce the physics developed in the
LHC Olympics, some training series which consist of
challenges for theoretical physicists in which they have to
interpret some data sets, known as black boxes, that are
simulations of the real data obtained in the LHC
collisions. We analyse the data files using Microsoft
Excel and apply some algorithms written in VBA to simulate
different analysis techniques. Using the samples provided
we try to determine the W and Z bosons mass in order to
check that the invariant and transverse mass methods work
properly. After this, we use these methods to determine the
top quark mass through its decaying products and discuss
the results obtained.",
