Innovative computing technologies for data acquisition and processing
for the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider and beyond

The Next Generation Triggers project, or NextGen, started in January 2024 as a collaboration between CERN (the Experimental Physics, Theoretical Physics and Information Technology Departments) and the ATLAS and CMS experiments. The key objective of the five-year NextGen project is to get more physics information out of the HL-LHC data. The hope is to uncover as-yet-unseen phenomena by more efficiently selecting interesting physics events while rejecting background noise. Scientists will make use of advanced algorithmic and computational approaches, from AI/ML to FPAGs, to improve the theoretical modelling and optimise their tools in the search for ultra-rare events.

All results produced by the NextGen project are made public, in compliance with the CERN Open Science policy, sharing them with the High-Energy Physics and scientific communities at large.
