Description
PUNCH4NFDI is a German DFG-funded initiative to promote FAIR and open data
management - and the development of the relevant tools - for the fields of
particle physics, astrophysics, astroparticle physics, nuclear&hadron
physics, and lattice QCD.
In particular, following the FAIR principles, it promotes and works towards
cross-community access to data, wherever possible.
Currently a series of PUNCH use cases is being released that give first
insights into the PUNCH capabilities. One of these is a HEP demonstrator use
case on open data from both CMS and ATLAS, and both LHC Run 1 and Run2. It
is based on unified research level data access akin to one that is actually
in use within one of the collaborations themselves, within a single
workflow.
The workflow is exemplified with an analysis of Higgs-to-four-lepton
production, publicly documented on the PUNCH4NFDI portal. The full workflow
on initially unfiltered open data and MC samples runs within a few hours and
can be adapted by users to their own physics cases.
Only limited by the somewhat condensed information content of the input files, of order 50% of all potential LHC physics topics can be covered with this workflow.
