Harnessing the Capacity of Computational Grids for High Energy Physics

By harnessing available computing resources on the network, computational grids can deliver large amounts of computing capacity to the high energy physics (HEP) community. Supporting HEP applications, which typically make heavy memory and I/O demands, requires careful co-allocation of network, storage, and computing resources. The grid manager must ensure that applications have the necessary re...

Data Unfolding Methods in High Energy Physics

A selection of unfolding methods commonly used in High Energy Physics is compared. The methods discussed here are: bin-by-bin correction factors, matrix inversion, template fit, Tikhonov regularisation and two examples of iterative methods. Two procedures to choose the strength of the regularisation are tested, namely the L-curve scan and a scan of global correlation coefficients. The advantage...

High Energy Physics,horizons*

The previous sessions have borne witness to the fact &at high energy accelerator and storage ring technology is a.subject of continuing vitality. Nothing dramatizes this more convincingly than the chart (Fig. 1) which shows the growth in energy of the world’s accelerators in time. If one includes in this chart the equivalent laboratory energy of existing and projected colliding beam storage rin...
