Computational challenges (and solutions!) in particle physics
In the next 1.5 decades, the LHC will deliver 20x more data than currently available to experiments. This rich data set will allow for exploration of new, exotic physics and precision tests of Standard Model predictions. The LHC experiments will face many challenges in dealing with this explosion in data size, including significant strains on the available software and computing resources. In this talk, I will focus on the ATLAS experiment and explain the computational chain necessary for LHC measurements and publications. I will then describe the rich R&D that ATLAS is pursuing to fit within future computational resources. The talk will conclude by explaining the joint NIU-UIC traineeship program, C2-THE-P2, which provides funding for graduate students to learn advanced computational skills to advance the field of particle physics.
