6. EsbRootView

Guy Barrand (Université Paris-Saclay (FR))

20/05/2021, 10:50

Collaboration, Education, Training and Outreach

Short Talk

EsbRootView is an event display for the detectors of ESSnuSB able to exploit natively all the nice devices that we have in hands today; desktop, laptops but also smartphones and tablets.

109. Browser-based visualization framework Tracer for Outreach & Education

Alexander Sharmazanashvili (Georgian Technical University (GE))

Collaboration, Education, Training and Outreach

Short Talk

Education & outreach is an important part of HEP experiments. With outreach & education, experiments can have an impact on the public, students and their teachers, as well as policymakers and the media. The tools and methods for visualization enable to represent the detectors' facilities, explaining their purpose, functionalities, development histories, and participant institutes. In addition,...

138. The Phoenix event display framework

Edward Moyse (University of Massachusetts (US))

20/05/2021, 11:16

Collaboration, Education, Training and Outreach

Short Talk

Visualising HEP experiment event data and geometry is vital for physicists trying to debug their reconstruction software, their detector geometry or their physics analysis, and also for outreach and publicity purposes. Traditionally experiments used in-house applications that required installation (often as part of a much larger experiment specific framework). In recent years, web-based...

9. The fight against COVID-19: Running Folding@Home simulations on ATLAS resources

David Michael South (Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DE))

20/05/2021, 11:29

Distributed Computing, Data Management and Facilities

Short Talk

Following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the ATLAS experiment considered how it could most efficiently contribute using its distributed computing resources. After considering many suggestions, examining several potential projects and following the advice of the CERN COVID Task Force, it was decided to engage in the Folding@Home initiative, which provides payloads that perform protein...

8. The Challenges of Open Source Software Alternatives

Aristofanis Chionis (National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (GR))

20/05/2021, 15:00

Collaboration, Education, Training and Outreach

Short Talk

Developing an Open Source Software application is a challenge. Mainly because there are commercial alternatives that have an army of expert developers behind them, experienced supporters and well-established business processes in their development and promotion.

Nevertheless, web-based applications, that securely handle the users' personal data are an area of freedom and ease of use,...

3. LHC Computing – the First 3 Decades

Jamie Shiers (CERN)

20/05/2021, 15:13

Collaboration, Education, Training and Outreach

Short Talk

Computing for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN arguably started shortly after the commencement of data taking at the previous machine – LEP – some would argue it was even before. Without specifying an exact date, it was certainly prior to when today’s large(st) collaborations, namely ATLAS and CMS, had formed and been approved and before the LHC itself was given the official go-ahead at...

153. A proposal for Open Access data and tools multi-user deployment using ATLAS Open Data for Education

Arturo Sanchez Pineda (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (FR))

20/05/2021, 15:26

Collaboration, Education, Training and Outreach

Short Talk

The deployment of analysis pipelines has been tightly related and conditioned to the scientific facility’s computer infrastructure or academic institution where it is carried on. Nowadays, Software as a Service (SaaS) and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) have reshaped the industry of data handling, analysis, storage, and sharing. The sector of science does not escape those changes. This...

33. Using CMS Open Data in research -- challenges and directions

Edgar Fernando Carrera Jarrin (Universidad San Francisco de Quito (EC))

20/05/2021, 15:39

Collaboration, Education, Training and Outreach

Short Talk

The CMS experiment at CERN has released research-quality data from particle collisions at the LHC since 2014. Almost all data from the first LHC run in 2010--2012 with the corresponding simulated samples are now in the public domain, and several scientific studies have been performed using these data. This paper summarizes the available data and tools, reviews the challenges in using them in...
