Quaero: Motivation, Summary, Status

High Energy Physics - Experiment 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

Quaero is a web-based tool that automates high-pT analyses. It has been designed with the goals of expunging exclusion contours from conference talks, obviating the necessity of "uncorrecting" experimental results, reducing human bias in experimental measurements, reducing by orders of magnitude the time required to perform analyses, allowing the publication of collider data in their full dimensionality, rigorously propagating systematic errors, dramatically increasing the robustness of experimental results, and facilitating the combination of results among different experiments. Quaero has been used to make a subset of D0 Run I data publicly available, and is being explored as a means of putting LEP data at your fingertips. These proceedings review the motivation for Quaero, summarize the key enabling ideas, and provide a snapshot of the project's present status.
