      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.",
