THIS PAGE DESCRIBE A CITIZEN SCIENCE PROJECT
Start date : 2010/11/24
- Beta start date : N/A
- End date : Still open.
⇳ Description
The LHC@home 2.0 project Test4Theory allows users to participate in running simulations of high-energy particle physics using their home computers.
➠ Purpose
The results are submitted to a database which is used as a common resource by both experimental and theoretical scientists working on the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.
Hopefully, these explanations can help give an idea of why the computing resources made available by volunteers in this way can be crucial for improving our understanding of what is really happening inside the beam pipe of the Large Hadron Collider.
