Cancel your plans for this weekend! CERN just dropped 300 terabytes of hot collider data on the world and you know you want to take a look.
Kati Lassila-Perini, a physicist who works on the Compact Muon Solenoid (!) detector, gave a refreshingly straightforward explanation for this huge release.
Once weve exhausted our exploration of the data, we see no reason not to make them available publicly, she said in a news release accompanying the data. The benefits are numerous, from inspiring high school students to the training of the particle physicists of tomorrow. And personally, as CMSs data preservation coordinator, this is a crucial part of ensuring the long-term availability of our research data.

And I’m sure if the tweak the data in the same manner as climate data they will find whatever particles they are looking for /s
To: rktman
300 TeraBytes? They must have included everything from parts lists to the surnames of each atomic particle used.

Any chance of the collider opening up a portal to a parallel universe where politicians are actually interested in serving their constituents?

The rest of the afternoon? Once you catch on it will go really fast. Unless you want to get too particular.

The data collection rate at the LHC is mind boggling.
Physicists must sift through the 30 petabytes or so of data produced annually to determine if the collisions have thrown up any interesting physics.

Once I have access to this, I think my time machine will be completed very quickly.

You must know the one request I have for you to do with your time machine and it involves an ‘un-named’ island in the Pacific Ocean.

I am pretty sure that is taxpayer funded data released to the Chicoms.

Participles maybe. Particles, maybe not. (I wonder if it’s written in Swissese?)
