Date Time Scientists set to tackle big data challenge of next-generation physics experiments Physicists at the University of Warwick are among scientists developing vital software to exploit the large data sets collected by the next-generation experiments in high energy physics (HEP), predominantly those at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Over the years, the existing code has struggled to meet rising output levels from large-scale experiments. The new and optimised software will have the capability to crunch the masses of data that the LHC at CERN and next-generation neutrino experiments such as DUNE and Hyper-Kamiokande will produce this decade. This is the first time a team of UK researchers have been funded to develop a software-based project by the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC).
