Particle physics experiments rely extensively on computing and data services, making e-infrastructure an integral part of the research collaboration. Constructing and operating distributed computing can however be challenging for a smaller-scale collaboration.
The Light Dark Matter eXperiment (LDMX) is a planned small-scale accelerator-based experiment to search for dark matter in the...
Dirac and Rucio are two standard pieces of software widely used in the HEP domain. Dirac provides Workload and Data Management functionalities, among other things, while Rucio is a dedicated, advanced Distributed Data Management system. Many communities that already use Dirac express their interest in using Dirac for workload management in combination with Rucio for the Data management part....
Managing the data of scientific projects is an increasingly complicated challenge, which was usually met by developing experiment-specific solutions. However, the ever-growing data rates and requirements of even small experiments make this approach very difficult, if not prohibitive. In recent years the scientific data management system Rucio has evolved into a successful open-source project,...
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is the next-generation instrument in the very-high energy gamma ray astronomy domain. It will consist of tens of Cherenkov telescopes deployed in 2 arrays at La Palma (Spain) and Paranal (ESO, Chile) respectively. Currently under construction, CTA will start operations around 2023 for a duration of about 30 years. During operations CTA is expected to produce...
The High Luminosity LHC project at CERN, which is expected to deliver a ten-fold increase in the luminosity of proton-proton collisions over LHC, will start operation towards the end of this decade and will deliver an unprecedented scientific data volume of multi-exabyte scale. This vast amount of data has to be processed and analyzed, and the corresponding computing facilities must ensure...
