In the last weeks the international press was reporting about the first results in the search for the Higg particle at CERN. The infrastructure behind the the LHC experiment in Geneva is impressing in all respects. A large number of technicians and researchers is working around the clock assuring that the infrastructure is working. In [...]
CSCS is operating an HPC system for the Swiss Institute of Particle Physics (CHIPP), which is used to analyze the data from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiment at CERN. CSCS asked CHIPP to organize an internal one day workshop to present the physics, the experiments and the accelerator at the LHC as well. The [...]
CSCS is happy to announce that Phoenix PhaseC Upgrade passed today the acceptance test. Phoenix is a HPC system run by CSCS used by the researchers of the Swiss Institute of Particle Physics CHIPP to analyze the data from the LHC experiment at CERN. The upgrade has been delivered and installed by Sun and will [...]
Today has been a special day here at CSCS for the HPC Co-Location Services team: We were following with crossed fingers the first collisions of the LHC collider at CERN. And everything went well! We are very proud with the cluster Phoenix of CHIPP to contribute as Tier 2 to the analysis of the large [...]
Today marks the start of the LHC research programme with the first attempt for collisions at 7 TeV (3.5 TeV per beam). Webcasts are available until 18:15 (Central European Summer Time – CEST). The main webcast will include live footage from the control room for the LHC accelerator and from the control rooms of the [...]
