Detailed Description

This tutorial shows how VecOps can be used to slim down the programming model typically adopted in HEP for analysis.

In this case we have a dataset containing the kinematic properties of particles stored in individual arrays. We want to plot the transverse momentum of these particles if the energy is greater than 100.
