The Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG), formerly (until 2006) [1] the LHC Computing Grid (LCG), is an international collaborative project that consists of a grid-based computer network infrastructure incorporating over 170 computing centers in 42 countries, as of 2017. It was designed by CERN to handle the prodigious volume of data produced by ...
The LHC has begun to generate vast quantities of data, which CERN streams to laboratories around the world for distributed processing, making use of a specialized grid infrastructure, the LHC Computing Grid. In April 2005, a trial successfully streamed 600 MB/s to seven different sites across the world.
Large Hadron Collider. Near Geneva, Switzerland; across the border of France and Switzerland. Plan of the LHC experiments and the preaccelerators. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest and highest-energy particle collider. [1][2] It was built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) between 1998 and 2008 in ...
CLOUD experiment. Cosmics Leaving Outdoor Droplets ( CLOUD) [ 1] is an experiment being run at CERN by a group of researchers led by Jasper Kirkby to investigate the microphysics between galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) and aerosols under controlled conditions. This is a fixed-target experiment that began operation in November 2009, [ 2] though it ...
IceCube Neutrino Observatory. The IceCube Neutrino Observatory (or simply IceCube) is a neutrino observatory developed by the University of Wisconsin–Madison and constructed at the Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station in Antarctica. [1] The project is a recognized CERN experiment (RE10). [2][3] Its thousands of sensors are located under the ...
ATLAS is designed to detect these particles, namely their masses, momentum, energies, lifetime, charges, and nuclear spins. Experiments at earlier colliders, such as the Tevatron and Large Electron–Positron Collider, were also designed for general-purpose detection.
The CERN Program Library (CERNLIB) is a collection of general purpose software libraries and program modules for scientific computing, developed at the European Organization for Nuclear Research CERN. [1] The application area of the library focuses on physics research, in particular high energy physics, involving general mathematics, data ...
Website. cern .ch /paw /. PAW screen capture. The Physics Analysis Workstation (PAW) is an interactive, scriptable computer software tool for data analysis and graphical presentation in high-energy physics . The development of this software tool started at CERN in 1986, it was optimized for the processing of very large amounts of data.
