CMS Open Data 2012 Dimuon Datasets

Educational and outreach datasets from CMS Run 2012B collision and simulation data.

These datasets represent a processed subset of the CMS Open Data corresponding to 2012 data-taking conditions ($4.429~\text{fb}^{-1}$ of $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=8$ TeV), specifically optimized for education and outreach dimuon physics exercises.
