Description
The ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider is expected to start
colliding proton beams in September 2009. The enormous amount of data
produced (~1PB per year) poses a great challenge to the ATLAS
computing. ATLAS will search for the Higgs boson and Physics beyond
the standard model. In order to meet this challenge, a suite of common
Physics Analysis Tools (PAT) has been developed as part of the Physics
Analysis software project. These tools run within the ATLAS software
framework, ATHENA, covering a wide range of applications. There are
tools responsible for event selection based on analysed data and
detector quality information, tools responsible for specific physics
analysis operations including data quality monitoring and physics
validation, and complete analysis toolkits (frameworks) with the goal
to aid the physicist to perform his analysis hiding the details of the
ATHENA framework.
