Global Ring Network for Advanced Applications Development

High Energy Physics (HEP)

The HEP community sets the pace for all in mapping out plans for handling enormous computational and data requirements – as well as the required network infrastructure. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) As an example, more than 6,000 scientists and engineers from 250 universities and laboratories in 60 countries. These collaborators participate in experiments that will accumulate more than 10 petabytes each during 2007-08 and this will rise to the exabyte range by 2015, introducing unprecedented challenges in data access, distribution and collaborative analysis.

The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS)Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) Collaboration at CERN provides another example where GLORIAD meets the need of cutting-edge science. Approximately 40 percent of the physicists at work on the CMS collaboration call the US, Russia or China home. They, along with the 2,000 scientists involved in CMS will need a high-capacity network to transmit results of these experiments.

Other non-LHC HEP experiments underway at Fermilab, SLAC and BNL face similar challenges on a “smaller but still daunting scale.” These communities are already heavy users of NaukaNet and GLORIAD services and project the need for 300M/622M/1-2.5G capacity for major HEP centers in Russia, China and Korea in 2004/2005/2006 respectively. U.S. collaborators with HEP in Russia and China include universities and national laboratories throughout the US.

The following point to additional information about high energy physics applications:

Description of High Energy Physics Applications in Russia(Projects in progress)(High Energy Physics)

High Energy Physics (HEP) has long-term history if speak about international scientific cooperation of Russia with USA, Europe and Japan. In 90’s, when an international collaboration has became to be major format for research in this field, Russian HEP laboratories contributed in (practically) all experiments (see Table below, where incomplete list of international collaborations is indicated for major Russia institutions) (Projects in progress)(High Energy Physics)

KOREA: High Energy Physics

The Object of the high energy physics (HEP) is to understand the basic properties of elementary particles and their interactions. High energy physics at the major accelerator sites where there are detector design, construction, signal process, DAQ and analysis is a large-scale enterprise conducted abroad. The size of collaboration is 100~2000 physicists. Therefore, the HEP community sets the pace for all in mapping out plans for handling enormous computational and data requirements as well as the required network infrastructure.
