Description
Google Summer of Code is a program that allows open-source beginners to contribute to the development of open-source projects, mentored by participating organizations.
Particle physics is an exciting field where large collaborations of scientists collect and analyze petabytes of data from high-energy physics experiments, such as those at the Large Hadron Collider, hosted at the CERN laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland. Some of the questions that we collectively ask are:
- What are the fundamental blocks that make up our Universe?
- What is the nature of dark matter and dark energy?
- What is the nature of the asymmetry between matter and antimatter?
- What was early Universe like?
To answer these questions, particle physicists build software to simulate and analyze what happens in particle physics detectors.
The CERN software for experiments (CERN EP-SFT) group has participated in the GSoC since 2011. Since 2017 the program has expanded to involve the high-energy physics community under the umbrella of the HSF (HEP Software Foundation).
This year, we will hold the HSF/GSoC Training Orientation on May 25 with two main goals:
-
Provide context for HEP computing and how GSoC participants' work fits into the bigger picture
- Provide pointers to the resources and events available through HSF Training
This event is open to all interns at CERN.
The workshop times are in CERN time.
