Hi Razzak,

Your histogram are TH1D (or not F), see the result of setA->ls(); __In addition__, looking at the result of setA->ls() you will notice that some of your histograms' name (in particular the one you are looking for) is prepended with a space.

So use:
  TH1D *Spher3D_sig = (TH1D*)setA->Get(" h_Sphericity3D"); or better yet:
  TH1D *Spher3D_sig; setA->GetObject(" h_Sphericity3D",Spher3D_sig);

Cheers,
Philippe.

I can see the histogram from my Histogram file (hist_stop_sig.root) . But when I tried to get through TFile I am getting this error. You can check my hist_stop_sig.root in my public area at lxplus. ~razzak/public/hist_stop_sig.root

Thanks

So this means that your object with name " h_Sphericity3D" does not exist in the file.
As a result the pointer Spher3D_sig is null
