Research Infrastructure for Fermilab Experiments

LM2023061 [Registered results] [WWW] 2023 - 2026

The FERMILAB-CZ is devoted to Czech collaboration with the U.S. national laboratory Fermilab, the primary concern of which is the research of elementary particles. The core of the present Fermilab research programme is the neutrino experiments, including NOvA and DUNE experiments. FERMILAB-CZ's main knowledge expertise is the detector laboratory, which is engaged in the design and construction of detectors, and the mathematical expert group, which is involved in the development and application of advanced statistical and deep machine-learning artificial intelligence algorithms for data analysis. FERMILAB-CZ contributes to research activities with its significant computing resources in distributed processing of experimental data and simulations and participates in the development of software for data acquisition. The FERMILAB-CZ group of experts is part of a community of around 12,000 researchers who work together to develop detectors, electronics and data analysis methods that are used across many areas of human activity. Through deep involvement in the construction and operation of experiments, FERMILAB-CZ enables Czech research institutions to participate in unique physics research. Both Czech researchers and all individual members and research groups of supported experiments use and benefit from all FERMILAB-CZ open access services free of charge. The main objectives are the delivery of these four services: contribution to the design, construction, operation, and upgrade of our detectors at Fermilab; delivery of needed computing and storage capacities for data simulation, processing and analysis by our computing centre; theoretic, algorithmic, and technical support and final software implementation of novel statistical and non-statistical methods for advanced data analysis based on artificial intelligence and machine learning; design, proof of concept, construction, and upgrade of our experiment’s detectors in the Detector development and electronics laboratory.
