| ATLAS - A Toroid LHC ApparatuS | |
|---|---|
 |
ATLAS is a particle physics experiment at the LHC at CERN. The primary purpose of the detector will be studies of the origin of mass at the electroweak scale as well as studies of top quark decays and supersymmetry searches. |
| PDSF Contact: Ian Hinchliffe | |
| The Atlas collaboration transfers data to PDSF for analysis and also runs detector simulations at PDSF. | |
| DAYABAY - The Daya Bay reactor neutrino experiment | |
|---|---|
 |
The Daya Bay Neutrino Experiment is a neutrino-oscillation experiment designed to measure the mixing angle θ13 using anti-neutrinos produced by the reactors of the Daya Bay and Ling Ao nuclear power plants in China. |
| PDSF Contact: Craig Tull | |
| The dayabay experiment transfers data from China to PDSF for analysis. | |
| ICECUBE - A neutrino detector located in Antarctica |
|---|
| IceCube uses 5,160 detectors buried up to 2452 meters deep under a square kilometer of pristine Antarctic ice to investigate what powers the most energetic engines in the cosmos that fuel the bombardment of cosmic rays to earth. |
| PDSF Contact: Lisa Gerhardt |
| The dayabay experiment uses PDSF for data analysis and simulations. |
| STAR - Solenoidal Tracker At RHIC | |
|---|---|
 |
STAR searches for signatures of quark-gluon plasma (QGP) formation and also investigates the behavior of strongly interacting matter at high energy density at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) located at Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York. |
| PDSF Contact: Doug Olson | |
| The STAR collaboration transfers data to PDSF for analysis, runs simulation jobs over the grid at PDSF, and does detector efficiency calculations (embedding) at PDSF. | |
