Notas: 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.
