Conclusions
- A ROOT based interactive framework for fast analyses exists in BABAR
- Interactive analysis work with ROOT is extremely promising
- But: GUI is currently non-existent, have to run macros/programs
- Beta/Option 7 is operational: Run original BABAR analysis modules on top of PAF (even on Windows 98/NT/2000, currently 8.2.11, 8.6.x will be next)
- Same ROOT data format as in BABAR framework can be handled
- Quantitative performance tests/results still missing (it’s fast enough) => Can even reuse ancient hardware or laptops to run BABAR analyses
- Set up a massive distributed ROOTD based service in a remote site (Bochum)
- PAF documentation/workbook needs to be improved
=> Publication of analysis examples and programs is mandatory to attract a larger audience
