Contents • Introduction of HEP research • Why is HEP Data Grid needed? • HEP Data Grid in shape and its future • Introduction of Korean HEP Activity • Conclusion
Goal Understanding ultimate structure of matter and origin of the universe
Early Data Analysis • Example: Bubble Chamber pictures (Fifties to Seventies) • Scanning (finding an interesting events) • Measuring (tracks on the film to digital form) • Track reconstruction in space (with help of computers) • Kinematics fitting and analysis of the property of interactions • Data Storage Tape (Portable)
Early Data Analysis • Difficulties • Interactions became very complex (hundreds of particles to distinguish) • So many pictures to analyze (~ millions of pictures) • Needed automatic computerized procedure • It still took so long time to process data to publication • Overcome (in the Seventies) • Film Pictures (Analog form) Electronic Signals from Detectors (New types of Detectors: MWPC etc.) • Analog but easily digitized with ADC (or TDC) • Fast signal processing ( kHz or MHz ) • On-line processing • Track reconstruction in space (with help of computers) • Kinematics fitting and analysis of the property of interactions) Data Storage Tape
