Software tools are foundational for the development of future collider experiments. Detector optimization and physics performance studies crucially depend on the availability of performant and reliable software libraries. The Key4hep project aims at providing infrastructure, interfaces, and a common stack of easy-to-use software tools for future, or even present, High Energy Physics projects....
The Event Data Model (EDM) is at the heart of every HEP experiment software framework. It defines the language physicists can use to express their ideas and also how different software components communicate with each other. The Key4hep project aims to develop a common software stack for all future collider projects. As the common EDM for all these projects, EDM4hep is one of the corner stones...
In July 2021, we have completed first planned production of the new high statistics 250 GeV MC samples for the ILD physics study using latest generator, simulator, and reconstruction packages.
In this talk, we will summarize the first round of mass production with the summary of produced samples, utilization of ILCDirac, storage occupancy, and the plan of our next production in the ILD.
Blockchain is a technology used to create distributed ledgers and to achieve consensus regarding data between distributed entities. Although the technology has been used to perform extremely computationally calculations involving cryptocurrency, its use in the scientific world has been limited.
In this paper we identify several possible use cases by which blockchain could be applied to...
