Following a comprehensive understanding of the requirements for Physics
Analysis, Fermilab adopted the use of ROOT for the Collider Experiments,
CDF and D0 in the upcoming data-taking run - Run II. To meet the needs
of the experiments Fermilab has entered into collaboration with the Root
Development Team. Following a workshop of the US HENP Users of ROOT in
March 1999, the Fermilab Computing Division agreed to contribute to various
areas of the development and support of ROOT.
In this paper we will review the contributions we have made and plan to make
to the ROOT collaboration. These include the new script compiler, the
integration of CLHEP's physics vector, collaboration on self-describing file
format. A key requirement of D0 and CDF is to have a robust, maintainable,
package for use in analyzing their physics data. We have worked closely with
the core ROOT development team on the testing, builds and use of ROOT to help
ensure robustness and maintainablility. We have also developed two
hands on courses and a user guide that introduces ROOT to the novice users.
These courses and documents go over both the initial steps in using ROOT
for physics analysis as well as more advanced features, like the ROOT trees
and details of the CINT interpreter.
