ATLAS is one of the four major experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. It is a general-purpose particle physics experiment run by an international collaboration and is designed to exploit the full discovery potential and the huge range of physics opportunities that the LHC provides.

The C(ERN)BACK(UP) system is a stateless, backup orchestrator used to provide scheduled, automatic backups at CERN. CBACK is primarily utilised for backing up the CERNBOX and CEPH-FS services. Primarily written in GO and Python, CBACK serves a substantial number of end users, efficiently and with minimal intervention.

The CernVM-File System (CVMFS) is a global, read-only POSIX file system that provides the universal namespace /cvmfs. It is based on content-addressable storage, Merkle trees, and HTTP data transport. CernVM-FS provides a mission critical infrastructure to small and large HEP collaborations.

Clad is an automatic differentiation (AD) tool for C++

Cppyy is an automatic, run-time, Python-C++ bindings generator, for calling C++ from Python and Python from C++.

Ganga is a computational task-management tool, which allows for the specification, submission, bookkeeping and post-processing of computational tasks on a wide set of distributed resources. Ganga has been developed to solve a problem increasingly common in scientific projects, which is that researchers must regularly switch between different processing systems, each with its own command set, to complete their computational tasks. Ganga provides a homogeneous environment for processing data on heterogeneous resources.

Geant4 is a toolkit for the simulation of the passage of particles through matter.

The JuliaHEP working group brings together a community of developers and users of Julia in Particle Physics, with the aim of improving the sharing of knowledge and expertise, as well as unify effort in developing Julia packages useful for the community.

The Key4hep project builds an experiment-independent, complete HEP stack focused on future collider concepts. Its key ingredients are event processing framework — Gaudi, event data model — EDM4hep, detector geometry description — DD4hep, and distribution platform — Spack.

MCnet is a community linking the developers of particle-theory simulations with experimentalists and others who use and make tools for analysing the simulated events. Projects may be available from both aspects of the community.

A modular scientific software framework. It provides all the functionalities needed to deal with big data processing, statistical analysis, visualisation and storage.

Xeus-Cpp is a Jupyter kernel for C++ based on the native implementation of the Jupyter protocol xeus.

Argonne National Lab (ANL) is a multidisciplinary science and engineering research center, where talented scientists and engineers work together to answer the biggest questions facing humanity, from how to obtain affordable clean energy to protecting ourselves and our environment.

The IRFU, Institute for Research on the fundamental laws of the universe, of the Fundamental Research Division of the CEA, brings together three scientific disciplines, astrophysics, nuclear physics and particle physics, as well as all the associated technological expertise.

At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. They use the world’s largest and most complex scientific instruments to study the basic constituents of matter – the fundamental particles.

The Compiler Research Group is a group of programming language enthusiasts at Princeton University and CERN. It’s primary goal is to research foundational software tools that help scientists program for speed, interoperability, interactivity, flexibility, and reproducibility.

The Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY) is a major German physics laboratory with a long interest in high-energy physics. DESY is a major centre for photon science and the site of the European XFEL laser. DESY scientists are part of major international HEP experiments, such as ATLAS, CMS and Belle II.
