Reading from TTree

Hello!
Im a beginner in ROOT. I have two tasks:

  1. Read from the file” model_event.root " a branch with particle collision events containing objects of the Event class (the file Event.cxx).
  2. Build a two-dimensional histogram with the number of intervals (bin) equal to 50 and for the module radius of the vertex vector(√𝑉𝑥2+𝑉𝑦2+𝑉𝑧2) and full momentum (√𝑃𝑥2+𝑃𝑦2+𝑃𝑧2).
    I attached a script with my attempt to solve problems, I can’t read the branch with Px, Py and Pz.
    Help me, please!

Hi,
Can you attach here the script? This way we don’t need to request access to your google doc. Thanks!

I get the projections of the radius vector, but I can’t read the projections Px, Py and Pz

Tree structure looks like this

Hi,

Can you also paste here the output of running TTree::Print ?

https://root.cern.ch/doc/master/classTTree.html#a7a0006d38d5066b533e040aa16f97094

What is the type of fTracks, a TClonesArray? It looks like myEvent->GetTrack() should give you back some array-like data stored for that event. So you should not run a nested loop that calls again t->GetEntry, in that nested loop you should just iterate on the array you got and get the properties of its elements.

I don’t understand how to iterate over the resulting array and get the properties of its elements.
How is this written in code?

I would try:

auto k = myEvent->fNTracks;
for(Int_t j=0;j<k;j++) {		
	fPx = myEvent->fTracks[j].fPx;
}

thank you for your help!
I finally understood how to solve my problem

this code works as it should:

TFile *f= TFile::Open(“model_event.root”);
TTree t=(TTree)f->Get(“EventTree”);

Event* myEvent = 0;
Track* myTracks = 0;

double fVx=0,fVy=0,fVz=0,fPx=0,fPy=0,fPz=0;

t->SetBranchAddress("ModelEvent",&myEvent);

TH2D *h1 = new TH2D("h1","title",50,-3,3,50,0,5);
TH1D *h2 = new TH1D("h2","title",80,-3,3);

int k=(int)t->GetEntries();
double mod_V, mod_P;
auto k1 = myEvent->GetTracks();
//t->Print();

for (Int_t i=0;i<k;i++){ 

	t->GetEntry(i);
	fVx = myEvent->GetVx();
	fVy = myEvent->GetVy();
	fVz = myEvent->GetVz();


	for(int j=0;j<myEvent->GetNTrack();j++){
		
		fPx = myEvent->GetTrack(j)->GetPx();			
		h2->Fill(fPx);
		
	}
}
	
//myEvent->GetTracks()->First()->Dump();
// h1->Draw("lego");
h2->Draw();

return 0;

Good to hear! Thanks for sharing the solution.
