High-performance networking in the context of the ATLAS particle physics experiment Prof. RajaaCherkaoui El Moursli, Mohammed V – AgdalUniversity, Rabat Académie Hassan II des Sciences et Techniques, Morocco Rajaa.Cherkaoui.El.Moursli@cern.ch EU-MED EVENT 3 Conference on e-Infrastructures across the Mediterranean 30-31 March 2010 Brussels
Outline • The ATLAS Collaboration (LHC –ATLAS experiment) • RUPHE (Moroccan High EnergyPhysics Network) • MARWAN (the MoroccanWide Area Network) • The importance of EUMEDCONNECT for Moroccan participation in ATLAS.
The ATLAS collaboration 37 countries, 2100 scientists in 165 working groups across the globe
ATLAS (A Toroidal LHC ApparatuS) 7000 tons 25 m 44 m
The Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG) • The LHC : 15 Petabytes of data annually, • Data access ( 5,000 scientists / 500 research institutes and universities worldwide) • Data availability: 15 years Solution: The Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG) WLCG uses different operational Grid organizations all over the world.
ATLAS Computing Model NDGF (Nordic countries) OSG (USA) EGEE (Europe Asia Canada)
RUPHE (Réseau Universitaire des Hautes Energies -Morocco) • 1996 : Morocco joins ATLAS experiment • RUPHE : Moroccan High EnergyPhysics Network - 5 Universities: Rabat, Casablanca, Marrakech, Oujda, Tétouan - the National Center for Energy, Science and Nuclear Technics (CNESTEN) with the support of the Ministry of education and the National Center for Scientific and Technical Research (CNRST).
MARocWideArea Network (MARWAN 2) the Moroccan National Research and Education Network Rabat Casablanca
MaGrid (CNRST-Morocco) • Support to e-science activities • connection to EGEE Grid • MaGrid Certificate Authority
Morocco in ATLAS • Participation to the ATLAS electromagneticpresampler construction 1 Module anode 64 sectors (8 modules / sector) = 512 modules (50000 anodes ) Mechanical and electrical test of 50000 anodes 1 sector
Morocco in ATLAS the insertion of 32 sectors of the presamplerat CERN.
Morocco in ATLAS • Physics and detector simulations • Test beam (shifts, assembling, insertion, …) at CERN • Analysis of combined test beam data • ATLAS Software in Magrid Cluster • Simulated and Real Data Analysis
New researches • Medical Physics - Simulation with GEANT4 and GATE (scanner, accelerator) in radiology, nuclear medecine, radiotherapy • Conception and design of Detector in the International Linear Collider (ILC)
Conclusion ATLAS transfer of large amounts of data The advanced connectivity will help the Moroccan community : • to explore the rich scientific potential of ATLAS • to develop medical physics • to participate to the International Linear Collider project
