This application requests funding for the continued operation of HEPNET/Canada, in support of wide-area computer networks for subatomic physics research. HEPNET is responsible for national and international network connectivity for the Canadian subatomic physics community. High-speed networks are critically important to our success as they allow us to have leading roles on international projects such as ATLAS, Belle II or T2K and connect our laboratories to the global community. Networks are not only used for moving data, they are essential for communication and the exchange of information. HEPNET was established in 1990 by the Institute of Particle Physics (IPP) and funded by NSERC as a national resource. The goal of HEPNET is to ensure that the subatomic community has a high-speed and reliable network to participate in projects based in Canada and at the international laboratories. HEPNET supports the highest priority projects identified by the NSERC Subatomic Physics Long Range Planning Committee. HEPNET ensures that our research projects, the computing facilities, and the network organizations have a seamless connection. HEPNET's primary role is to coordinate the network infrastructure for our projects. HEPNET works with the local, provincial, national and international network organizations to establish the links needed for our experimental projects. One of the main activities of HEPNET is the network for the ATLAS experiment; however, HEPNET ensures that other projects are well connected. T2K and Belle II are connected with a shared link to Japan. TRIUMF researchers have high-speed network connections to the Compute Canada facilities. Researchers at SNOLAB access their data using a link that is subsidized by HEPNET. The funds support a full-time technical manager with a background in HEP computing and network technologies. The technical manager participates in CANARIE, Compute Canada and LHC network working groups.  HEPNET established a national network monitoring system for the ATLAS and other projects. HEPNET is also involved in the study of next generation network technologies with other researchers and industry.

这项申请要求为加拿大HEPNET的继续运作提供资金，以支持用于亚原子物理学研究的广域计算机网络。HEPNET负责加拿大亚原子物理学界的国家和国际网络连接。高速网络对我们的成功至关重要，因为它们使我们能够在ATLAS、贝儿II或T2 K等国际项目中发挥主导作用，并将我们的实验室与全球社区连接起来。网络不仅用于传输数据，还对通信和信息交换至关重要。 HEPNET由粒子物理研究所于1990年建立，由NSERC作为国家资源提供资金，其目标是确保亚原子界拥有一个高速和可靠的网络，以参与加拿大和国际实验室的项目。HEPNET支持NSERC亚原子物理长期规划委员会确定的最高优先级项目。HEPNET确保我们的研究项目、计算设施和网络组织实现无缝连接。 HEPNET的主要作用是协调我们项目的网络基础设施。HEPNET与地方、省、国家和国际网络组织合作，建立我们实验项目所需的联系。HEPNET的主要活动之一是为ATLAS实验建立网络;然而，HEPNET确保其他项目的良好连接。T2 K和贝儿II通过共享链路连接到日本。TRIUMF的研究人员与加拿大计算机设施有高速网络连接。SNOLAB的研究人员使用HEPNET资助的链接访问他们的数据。 这些资金支持一名具有HEP计算和网络技术背景的全职技术经理。技术经理参与CANARIE、Compute Canada和LHC网络工作组。 HEPNET为ATLAS和其他项目建立了一个国家网络监测系统。HEPNET还与其他研究人员和工业界一起参与下一代网络技术的研究。
