New
science software developed at the University of Barcelona helps to streamline resources in large-scale facilities.
DIRAC is in action at the Large Hadron Collider, where the
science software helps to manage data collected in one of the experiments underway there.
With ten million collisions resulting in the creation of a single Beauty Particle, DIRAC picks out the most relevant data for analysis.
It also helps to identify the types of particles that are measured in the Large Hadron Collider while the experiment is being carried out.
The Large Hadron Collider beauty experiment, or LHCb, looks at conditions immediately following the Big Bang in an attempt to understand how the universe was able to survive and why matter became dominant over antimatter.
Meanwhile, DIRAC is in continuing development to help it become more widely applicable.
Ultimately, it is hoped that the software will be able to be used for all scientific community members to manage their own resources.
