Description
We provide an overview of two ongoing projects that aim to ensure the availability of fast and user-friendly solutions for physics analysis pipelines towards the HL-LHC. The Analysis Grand Challenge (AGC) defines an analysis task that captures relevant physics analysis workflow aspects. A variety of implementations have been developed for this task, allowing to probe user experience and interoperability, and helping to center community discussions around a common benchmark. We will focus on the reference implementation provided by IRIS-HEP, which makes use of many tools in the Python HEP ecosystem and in particular a stack of Scikit-HEP libraries.
A second project started in 2024 with a focus on specifically achieving very large data throughput in a physics analysis context. The project is often referred to by its target, "200 Gbps", for sustaining such a data rate. The project involved a collaboration between many areas of expertise, but we describe the user-facing software aspect of it, which we built with libraries from Scikit-HEP and the surrounding ecosystem.
