Computing for UK Particle Physics Phenomenology

粒子物理现象学研究所是达勒姆大学和达勒姆大学的合资企业，其目的是在满足达勒姆大学S和达勒姆大学在国际卓越研究方面的战略目标方面发挥关键作用。我们的核心使命是为英国和全球粒子物理界提供战略建议，并集中和扩大国内和国际的实验工作。IPPP的科学兴趣涵盖当前粒子现象学的方方面面，从中微子和天文粒子物理，到味道物理，到对撞机现象学和最高能量的模型建立。在世界范围内，很少有小组能与唯象粒子物理学的报道相媲美。IPPP讨论的主题包括新理论技术的设计，如散射幅度计算和高阶计算，多用途事件发生器的建造、开发、验证和部署，以及新设施的可行性研究。此外，IPPP在提供和进一步开发大型强子对撞机物理的工具、计算、分析和开发战略方面发挥着关键作用。IPPP在当前和未来中微子设施的领先研究中非常明显，这是另一项高度优先的努力。它还参与了LHCb夸克味道物理的实验发展。此外，IPPP对暗物质现象学及其在加速器和非加速器实验中的研究做出了重大贡献，并对超越标准模型的物理探索做出了重大贡献。该项目将通过增加高吞吐量计算IPPP集群的能力，确保IPPP保持在超高能质子碰撞时发生什么的预测发展的前沿。该群组在IPPP的发展中发挥了关键作用，该研究所是开发支撑全球粒子现象学的软件的领先国际研究所。IPPP的高吞吐量计算需求可以通过快速磁盘服务器和标准以太网联网计算节点的组合来满足，运行相同的软件平台，实验者使用该平台，他们最终将使用IPPP正在开发的软件。这些要求与狄拉克等公司提出的要求非常不同。

The Institute for Particle Physics Phenomenology (IPPP) is a joint venture of Durham University and STFC.The aim of the IPPP is to play a key role in meeting STFC 's and the University of Durham's strategic goal of international excellence in research. Central to our mission is to provide strategic advice for the UK and global particlephysics community and to focus and amplify national and international experimental efforts.The scientific interests of the IPPP cover all aspects of current particle phenomenology, ranging from neutrino and astro-particle physics, through flavour physics to collider phenomenology and model building at the highest energies. There are few groups world-wide with comparable coverage of phenomenological particle physics. The topics addressed by the IPPP include the design of new theoretical techniques, such as scattering amplitude computations and higher-order calculations, the construction, development, validation and deployment of multi-purpose event generators, and feasibility studies for new facilities. In addition, IPPP plays a pivotal role in the provision and further development of tools, calculations, analyses and exploitation strategies for LHC physics. IPPP is highly visible in leading studies for current and future neutrino facilities, another high priority endeavour. It is also involved in experimental developments in quark flavour physics at LHCb. Furthermore, IPPP has made major contributions to the phenomenology of Dark Matter and its searches at accelerator and non-accelerator based experiments, and to physics exploration beyond the Standard Model.This project will ensure that the IPPP stays at the cutting edge of the development of predictions of what happens when ultra high energy protons collide by increasing the capacity of the High Throughput Computing IPPP cluster. The cluster has played a key role in the development of the IPPP as a leading international institute for developing the software that underpins particle phenomenology worldwide. The High Throughput Computing needs of the IPPP can be met with a combination of fast disk servers and standard ethernet-networked compute nodes, operating the same software platform, which is used by the experimenters, who will ultimately use the software being developed at the IPPP. These are very different requirements than those delivered by e.g. Dirac.
