"End-user physics analysis", starting from centrally provided files and ending with a published paper, is a field with a diverse set of approaches. Despite often occupying a significant fraction of physicists’ time, this last step in the pipeline is generally less well understood in terms of workflow and computational cost than earlier stages.
This workshop aims to address the following two questions in particular:
- What are the computational needs of representative end-user physics analyses today, in terms of overall workflow, services used, number of events and total volume of data to process, and computational cost per event?
- Which scenarios should we consider to extrapolate these physics analyses’ needs toward the HL-LHC?
It follows a survey distributed to ATLAS and CMS which gathered input for discussing these questions. This IRIS-HEP "blueprint" workshop aims to produce a document summarizing a set of benchmark analyses, alongside an extrapolation of how we expect them to evolve towards the HL-LHC.
This event is jointly organized with the CMS CAT group, the ATLAS AMG group, and the HSF DAWG group.
The agenda is currently a work in progress, please await further details.
