The Large Hadron Collider and Grid computing.
We present a brief history of the beginnings, development and achievements of the worldwide Large Hadron Collider Computing Grid (wLCG). The wLCG is a huge international endeavour, which is itself embedded within, and directly influences, a much broader computing and information technology landscape. It is often impossible to identify true cause and effect, and they may appear very different fr...
متن کاملGrid-based Distributed Computing for the Large Hadron Collider
After decades of preparation, the first proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN were recorded at the end of 2009 [1] by the four large experiments ALICE, ATLAS, CMS and LHCb. The physics program of the LHC is broad and ambitious. Some of the main goals are to reveal the mechanism which allows point-like particles to have masses (the almost 50-year old Higgs mechansim...
متن کاملThe Large Hadron Collider.
The construction of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has been a massive endeavour spanning almost 30 years from conception to commissioning. Building the machine with the highest possible energy (7 TeV) in the existing large electron-positron (LEP) collider tunnel of 27 km circumference and with a tunnel diameter of only 3.8 m has required considerable innovation. The first was the development o...
متن کاملThe Large Hadron Collider LHC
The Large Hadron Collider Project LHC was approved by the CERN Council in December 1994. Commissioning with beam will start in the second half of 2005. The paper discusses the most important parameters, the general layout of the LHC octants, the status of the experiments ALICE, ATLAS, CMS and LHC-B, proton injection using the PS Booster, and the proton synchrotrons PS and SPS. Also described ar...
متن کاملBig Science and the Large Hadron Collider
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the particle accelerator operating at CERN, is probably the most complex and ambitious scientific project ever accomplished by humanity. The sheer size of the enterprise, in terms of financial and human resources, naturally raises the question whether society should support such costly basic-research programs. I address this question here by first reviewing the ...
