Significance for science
The research funded within this project and the resulting collaboration in the development of novel methods and algorithms in physics computing were a prerequisite for successful analysis of data from the ATLAS detector at LHC. ATLAS is one of the most challenging and demanding projects both from the scientific, as well as from the technological aspect. Aiming for the discovery of the long-awaited Higgs boson it is set to unveil the mechanism of mass generation in Nature. The prospect of finding new physics at the yet unexplored 1 TeV energy scale, including supersymmetry or other realizations of physics beyond the Standard model, gives ATLAS an unprecedented possibility to open up a deeper insight into the basic laws of the Universe. The collaboration of Slovenian scientists with ATLAS provided a unique possibility for developing state-of-the-art physics analysis and computing methods and to disseminate this knowledge in Slovenia.
The goal of the Piere Auger Observatory as the second beneficiary of the Grid infrastructure is to reveal the origin of cosmic rays of extreme energies, therefore contributing to the understanding of processes in our Universe.
Significance for the country
Setting up of the Slovenian initiative for national grid and a national grid network enabled scientific collaboration on international level, and introduced of new scientific approaches, not thinkable without application of Grid technology. The progress in fields of computing algorithm parallelization, development of Grid middleware and development of specific application software, exploiting Grid technology, opened up a new window for many scientific disciplines, at the same time providing a boost to the information infrastructure. The technology is crucial for a number of industrial and research fields, such aas medicine, farmacology, ingeneering, construction etc. In addition, the initiative enabled a number of existing computing centres to start using the new technologies (TurboInstitut, Arctur) which allowed us to share knowledge, technology and resources and boosted the efficiency and competitive advantage of all the participants.
