he following are provided through this portal:

 

Downloadable datasets

 

• Primary datasets: full reconstructed collision data with no other selections. The data here are referred to as "reconstructed data": fragmented data from various sub-detectors are processed or "reconstructed" to provide coherent information about individual physics objects such as electrons or particle jets
  
• Simulation data (for data from 2011)
  
• Examples of simplified datasets derived from the primary ones for use in different applications and analyses
  

Tools

 

• A downloadable Virtual Machine (VM) image with the CMS software environment through which the primary datasets can be accessed
  
• An analysis example chain, reading the primary dataset and producing intermediate derived data for the final analysis
  
• Ready-to-use online applications, such as an event display and simple histogramming software
  
• Source code for the various examples and applications, available in the CMS Tools collection

300TB download on my 2MBs a second download speed, will take over a year! But still very interesting.
