Description: The Institute for Research and Innovation in Software for High Energy Physics (IRIS-HEP) has been established to meet the software and computing challenges of the planned upgrades to the Large Hadron Collider, the world’s most powerful particle accelerator. IRIS-HEP pursues R&D for the software needed to acquire, manage, process and analyze the torrent of data that will be produced by the upgrade accelerator and its detectors as part of the search for discoveries beyond the Standard Model of Particle Physic
IRIS-HEP is a software institute funded by the National Science Foundation. It aims to develop the state-of-the-art software cyberinfrastructure required for the challenges of data intensive scientific research at the High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) at CERN, and other planned HEP experiments of the 2020’s. These facilities are discovery machines which aim to understand the fundamental building blocks of nature and their interactions. Full Overview
Overview of IRIS-HEP efforts to train future generations of physicists to have proficiency in software.
At the IRIS-HEP collaboration, an array of researchers are working together on the ACTS project to bring fast and efficient software to experiments of all sizes, including those which may not have had access to advanced software otherwise.
