Abstract
The NA49 experiment studies collisions of heavy nuclei at the CERN SPS . In terms of data rate (16 Mbyte/s) and total yearly data volume (l5 Tbyte), NA49 is facing challenges already today that will be a commonp lace at future colliders like RHIC and LHC. To allow a fast, interacti ve analysis of the NA49 data, the development of the object-oriented R OOT analysis framework was started within the NA49 collaboration. The system has been used for physics analysis for more than a year. In thi s paper we will summarize our experience so far and outline our plans for the near future.
