Description
The Key4hep project provides a collaborative software ecosystem for the development and study of future collider detector concepts. Initiated in 2019 by multiple
international particle physics communities, it offers a comprehensive software
infrastructure for simulation, reconstruction, and analysis. By developing its
own event data model, EDM4hep, and integrating it with established tools like
DD4hep and Gaudi, Key4hep has become the standard framework for detector studies at
future colliders. However, it faces funding challenges that could impact its
long-term sustainability.
