Data from large CERN experiments are processed on the worldwide distributed infrastructure call computing grid. This project upgrades the Czech grid Tier-2 site designated for real data processing and for Monte Carlo simulations of particle collisions. We will select an appropriate hardware and integrate it to the international grid to fulfill required share of computing and storage capacity for experiments ALICE and ATLAS. These requirements continuously grow with an increasing number of recorded collisions, which will intensify after the planned LHC upgrade.
The project will also upgrade clean laboratories for tests of silicon sensors intended for the ATLAS detector upgrade. Czech institutions pledged to test 4500 sensors and assemble and test 700 strip modules of the prepared inner detector. Most of the laboratory equipment was already acquired from other resources. This project will enable to buy additional small instruments needed for measurements of global characteristics and a long term stability of modules. The measurements will be done almost without interruptions for four years.
This project is co-financed by EU.
