Simulating Charged Kaon Mass Measurements via Computer-Modeled Particle Collisions and Detections

This project models an experimental setup used to measure the mass of the kaon. After appropriate parameters were determined for the setup, particle collision events were generated using PYTHIA and analyzed using ROOT, along with mathematical models of detector responses. The resulting data were used to reconstruct the kaon mass.
