Taking Global Scale Data Handling to the Fermilab Intensity Frontier

Fermilab Accelerator R&d Program towards Intensity Frontier Accelerators : Status and Progress*

The 2014 P5 report indicated the accelerator-based neutrino and rare decay physics research as a centrepiece of the US domestic HEP program at Fermilab. Operation, upgrade and development of the accelerators for the nearterm and longer-term particle physics program at the Intensity Frontier face formidable challenges. Here we discuss key elements of the accelerator physics and technology R&D pr...

2 Intensity Frontier

Particle physics aims to understand the universe around us. The Standard Model (SM) of particle physics describes the basic structure of matter and the forces through which matter interacts, to the extent we have been able to probe thus far. However, it leaves some big questions unanswered. Some are within the SM itself, such as why there are so many fundamental particles and why they have diff...

The Fermilab Data Storage Infrastructure

Fermilab, in collaboration with the DESY laboratory in Hamburg, Germany, has created a petabyte scale data storage infrastructure to meet the requirements of experiments to store and access large data sets. The Fermilab data storage infrastructure consists of the following major storage and data transfer components: Enstore mass storage system, DCache distributed data cache, ftp and Grid ftp fo...

42 Computing for the Intensity Frontier

Computing at the Intensity Frontier (IF) has many significant challenges. The experiments, projects and theory all require demanding computing capabilities and technologies. Though not as data intensive as the LHC experiments, the IF experiments and IF computing have significant computing requirements in theory and modeling, beam line and experiment design, triggers and DAQ, online monitoring, ...
