Using the PHYSLITE Format

The research data is available in the PHYSLITE format, which is user-friendly and ready for analysis. This notebook demonstrates how to utilize ATLAS Open Data in PHYSLITE format using uproot and awkward arrays for a basic physics analysis. Specifically, it shows how to reconstruct the hadronically decaying top quark from semi-leptonic $t\bar{t}$ events.
