The JADE experiment was one of the experiments located at the PETRA e+e- storage ring at DESY in Hamburg, Germany. Its scientific programme aimed at answering a series of fundamental questions such as:
The JADE experiment was one of the experiments located at the PETRA e+e- storage ring at DESY in Hamburg, Germany. The experiment took data between 1979 and 1986 in the center-of-mass range between 14 and 45GeV. Since 1997 a group at the University of Aachen, now located at the MPI in Munich, started to re-analyze the data taken during that time period. New theoretical calculations developed during and after the running of the LEP experiments are applied to the data taken between 14 and 45GeV. This allows a unique access to data at that energy range.

Primary datasets
Software tools
Data in the primary datasets are in a format known as BOS (Event Summary Data), produce by the JADE reconstruction procedure
The BOS contains lists of reconstructed tracks/particles and global event properties. BOS files contain the information that is needed for the analysis:
