Bryan: connecting the "loose ends" in the lepton channel

• analysis of updated 4f sl samples ongoing
• SGV fails to process ca. 4-6% of 4f leptonic samples (the LCIO generator files itself are readable until the end, so it's not a file transfer error. according to Mikael, the error is due to an actually faulty event generated in each file, i.e. it's a bug in Whizard); workaround: skip these files for now
• no issues with 4f hadronic samples -> to be included in full analysis
• MVA optimization ongoing (one multiclass BDT instead of multiple binary ones)
• including the matrix elements
• rework of data I/O [ROOT <> Python/HDF5 world] done

14:25 → 14:35 Activities at SLAC
