Description
This code is a simple data analysis written in Wolfram Mathematica. It provides basic codes for linear and parabolic fit of data and a gaussian analysis of occurences. The code should be adapted to one's specific needs, as it includes the creation of output in different directories. It was first written and intended for a Windows machine, but can be adapted to Linux systems. They were written in Italian, but I can provide an English version of them.
Code
These Wolfram Mathematica notebooks are structured in distinct sections:
- Data input:
- important names are firstly set
- input files are required for data manipulation
- First analysis:
- notable parameters (chi squared, etc.) are calculated
- data is plotted and saved
- Second analysis:
- given previous parameters, a more refined calculation is performed
- data is plotted and saved in different position
- Third analysis:
- if needed, errors and distributions are determined a posteriori
Motivation
We decided to write this code during the university course of Nuclear Physics and Laboratory in order to speed the analysis up and to provide reliable data to store, during the experiments.

Contributors are welcome to improve and criticize (keeping in mind that we are not software developers and the purpose of this code was merely to save us a lot of work: it was firstly intended to meet our particular needs in that specific situation, see MOTIVATION) any of the content here provided.
