Data and Analysis Preservation in the PHENIX Experiment at RHIC

The PHENIX experiment (the Pioneering High Energy Nuclear Interaction eXperiment) is the largest of the four experiments that have operated at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), taking data in 2000-2016. PHENIX has made fundamental contributions to the discovery and study of the Quark-Gluon Plasma, advancement of spin physics and other areas. Currently, the PHENIX Collaboration is analyzing large data samples previously collected, while facing challenges in the area of Data and Analysis Preservation. We describe the strategy and practices employed by the PHENIX Collaboration to meet these challenges by leveraging state-of-the-art platforms and tools created and maintained by the High Energy and Nuclear Physics communities, including Zenodo, HEPData, OpenData, REANA and others.

Evolution of the Data Quality Monitoring and Prompt Processing System in the proto DUNE-SP experiment

The DUNE Collaboration currently operates an experimental program based at CERN which includes a beam test and an extended cosmic ray run of two large-scale prototypes of the massive Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) for the DUNE Far Detector. The volume of data collected by the single-phase prototype (protoDUNE-SP) amounts to 3PB and the sustained rate of data sent to mass storage is O(100) MB/s. Data Quality Monitoring was implemented by directing a fraction of the data stream to the protoDUNE prompt processing system (p3s) which is optimized for continuous low-latency calculation of the vital detector metrics and various graphics including event displays. It served a crucial role throughout the life cycle of the experiment. We present our experience in leveraging the CERN computing environment and operating the system over an extended period of time, while adapting to evolving requirements and computing platform.
