CERN ATLAS/LHCb: Triggering and Data Acquisition for High-Energy Physics (HEP) Experiments

Research Network
2013-present
Research Network

Summary: We are contributing to the triggering and data acquisition systems at the ATLAS and LHCb high-energy physics experiments at CERN, in particular data collection manager, messaging, system modeling, data compression, and accelerating learning-based methods in this context. This is a collaboration with colleagues from CERN, and previously University of Castilla-La Mancha, Spain.
