JENA Computing Meeting

JENA Computing Meeting took place last week in Bologna. About 70 people attended, from High-Energy Physics, Astroparticle and Nuclear Physics. The meeting had a European focus, with worldwide implications; the OSG was represented (Frank Wuerthwein). Nuclear physics community was European: FAIR, GANIL. Astroparticle was CTA, Rubin, Einstein. We are in contact with SKA, as they will be a big player.

Motivation: at the Joint ECFA-NuPECC-APPEC (JENA) Seminar in May 2022 in Madrid, both the plenary presentations and the closed session of funding agency representatives revealed that there is an increased need for discussions on the strategy and implementation of European federated computing at future large-scale research facilities.

Goals: identify the computing requirements in the next decade and identify synergies that can benefit all the three communities (HEP, Nuclear Physics and Astrophysics).

Conclusions: we identified 5 areas that will be followed up on in working groups, with the aim of each topic providing a chapter that will form a JENA Whitepaper, in advance of the next symposium (Spring 2025) and before the next European Strategy Update.

If you are interested in joining one of these WGs, please email Graeme, Simone and Gonzalo.

It will be a four day long hybrid event from 6-9th 
November 2023 hosted at the Erlangen Centre for 
Astroparticle Physics (ECAP) in Erlangen, Germany. The 
workshop is intended for everyone working in high-
energy physics or related fields. 

For registration and abstract submission, please visit 
https://indico.cern.ch/e/juliahep2023 There is no 
registration fee for online participants.

Important deadlines:

    - 25th September: Submission deadline for contributions
    - 8th October: Registration deadline for local participation
    - 6th November: Registration deadline for online participation

Website

Benedikt started an issue in GitHub to gather ideas about reorganising and revamping the website to better reflect our areas of actual activity.

Next Meeting

The next meeting will be, on 6 July. N.B. At CERN we will meet in 40/R-B10 for that meeting.

Please sign up for chairing this or one of the future coordination meetings.
