Key4hep: A software framework for future collider studies
Key4hep brings future-collider communities together around a shared software framework for detector design and physics studies. By integrating tools for event generation, simulation, reconstruction and analysis, it reduces duplication, facilitates comparisons and allows each project to adapt the software to its own detector and scientific goals.

In discussion with John Ellis: The Higgs, Patience and Perseverance in Science
In discussion with John Ellis: The Higgs, Patience and Perseverance in Science by Panos Charitos For John Ellis, the history of the Higgs boson is not a neat, short story that begins with a theory paper and ends with a discovery announcement. It is a long intellectual adventure, beginning in superconductivity, moving through the construction

Building a Microelectronics Foundation for Tomorrow’s Detectors
Building a Microelectronics Foundation for Tomorrow’s Detectors The challenge: smarter chips in harsher places Particle physics detectors have always pushed electronics to their limits. The next generation of tracking systems and calorimeters will depend critically on dense, intelligent, low power and radiation-hard microelectronics: front-end ASICs that can survive for decades in harsh environments, having their

Rucio crosses the exabyte horizon
Rucio crosses the exabyte horizon When we last wrote in these pages about Rucio, ATLAS had just passed the half-exabyte mark and the community counted around thirty organisations. Six years on, a threshold that was then a distant projection has been crossed: both ATLAS and CMS, the two largest LHC experiments, now each manage more

Distributed Analysis with ROOT RDataFrame
Distributed Analysis with ROOT RDataFrame The HL-LHC is foreseen to generate roughly thirty times more data than the LHC has produced so far. Given the available future budget estimations and expected technological evolution [1], software will play a crucial role to cover the performance gap and be able to process the foreseen data volumes. In

ROOT 10th workshop: Fun with Data
ROOT 10th workshop: Fun with Data ROOT is a modular software toolkit mainly developed in the SFT group and is made for processing, analysing and visualising scientific data. It also allows to read and write data: presently, LHC experiments alone produced about 1 Exabyte (one million Terabytes!) of data stored on disks and tapes in
