PAT (Physics Analysis Tools) is a project to develop C++/Python based tools appropriate for Physics Analysis. This group performs R&D to develop class libraries (in C++ and Python), tools and procedures to support the physics analysis activity in the context of the ATHENA Framework, for use both in a batch and interactive analyses environment. Another important aspect of the PAT activities is related to the ATLAS TAG database, which is intended to be an event-level meta-data system. The TAG is aimed to support efficient indentification and selection of events of interest for a given analysis. Moreover, it is mandatory role of the PAT group to connect end-users to Distributed Analysis activities. There are two major use-cases when one use the grid for her/his analysis: One use-case is to access datasets which have produced in the grid, and the other use-case is to submit analysis jobs on the grid .
