The versatility of RHIC allowed the PHENIX collaboration to measure low momentum direct photons from small systems, such as p+p, p+A, d+Au at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = $200 GeV as well as from large A+A systems, such as Au+Au and Cu+Cu at 200 GeV…
The heavy ion physics approach to global event characterization has led us to instrument the forward region in the PHENIX experiment at RHIC. In heavy ion collisions this coverage yields a measurement of the "spectator" energy and its…
These proceedings represent a brief overview of the exciting physics coming out from the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The experimental results from BRAHMS, PHOBOS, PHENIX and STAR indicate a…
The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider collides heavy nuclei at ultrarelativistic energies, creating a strongly interacting, partonic medium that is opaque to the passage of high energy quarks and gluons. Direct jet reconstruction applied to…
After a highly successful first data taking period at the LHC, the LHCb experiment developed a new trigger strategy with a real-time reconstruction, alignment and calibration for Run II. This strategy relies on offline-like track…
PHOENIXOS (PHOS) is the first OS service that can concurrently checkpoint and restore (C/R) GPU processes--a fundamental capability for critical tasks such as fault tolerance, process migration, and fast startup. While concurrent C/R is…
The data production farm for the CDF experiment is designed and constructed to meet the needs of the Run II data collection at a maximum rate of 20 MByte/sec during the run. The system is composed of a large cluster of personal computers…
This article describes concepts and mechanisms used in porting of EPICS (Experimental Physical and Industrial Control System) codes to platform of operating system UNIX. Without destruction of EPICS architecture, new features of EPICS…
The vulnerability of cyber-physical systems to cyber attack is well known, and the requirement to build cyber resilience into these systems has been firmly established. The key challenge this paper addresses is that maturing this discipline…
The KLOE experiment at the Frascati phi-factory DAPHNE, designed to measure $\Re(\epsilon^\prime/\epsilon)$, began preliminary data taking in the Fall of 1999. A large database structure, which logs information coming from the DAPHNE…
PHENIX has measured high transverse momentum (pT) identified hadrons in different collision species and energies in the last five RHIC runs. The systematic study of the high pT hadron production provides an idea on interaction of hard…
We consider a multi-user multi-server mobile edge computing (MEC) system, in which users arrive on a network randomly over time and generate computation tasks, which will be computed either locally on their own computing devices or be…
The experimental highlights from PHENIX are summarized from the point of view of probing the properties of dense partonic matter produced at RHIC
The Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment started running on September 23, 2011. The offline computing environment, consisting of 11 servers at Daya Bay, was built to process onsite data. With current computing ability, onsite data…
ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) is the CERN LHC experiment optimized for the study of the strongly interacting matter produced in heavy-ion collisions and devoted to the characterization of the Quark-Gluon Plasma. To achieve the…
Distributed, large-scale quantum computing will need architectures that combine matter-based qubits with photonic links, but today's software stacks target either gate-based chips or linear-optical devices in isolation. We introduce Optyx,…
At the Brookhaven National Laboratory, experimental efforts with heavy-ion accelerators started at the AGS synchrotron in 1984 and then at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) in 1991. This chapter of a future book describes how…
ALICE (A Large Heavy Ion Experiment) is one of the four major experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. The High Level Trigger (HLT) is an online compute farm which reconstructs events measured by the ALICE detector in…
The LHCb Stripping project is a pivotal component of the experiment's data processing framework, designed to refine vast volumes of collision data into manageable samples for offline analysis. It ensures the re-analysis of Runs 1 and 2…
Twenty-five years ago the desktop computer started becoming ubiquitous in the scientific lab. Researchers were delighted with its ability to both control instrumentation and acquire data on a single system, but they were not completely…
