Programmes and Activities
WP2: Enhancing the ATLAS Trigger
and Data Acquisition
This work package focuses on an enhancement of the already ambitious upgrade of the ATLAS experiment’s trigger and data acquisition system for the High Luminosity Phase of the LHC (HL-LHC) scheduled to start in 2029. Novel approaches to trigger event selection will extend the ATLAS physics potential, state-of-the-art Machine Learning techniques.
WP3: Rethinking the CMS
Real-Time Data Processing
This work package aims to rethink the CMS data acquisition system allowing the CMS physics program to operate over all the collisions produced by the LHC. This is achieved through the High-Level Trigger (HLT) Real-time Reconstruction Revolution (R³) and a novel L1-trigger scouting stream.
WP1: Infrastructure, Algorithms
and Theory
Researchers in NextGen are making use of neural networks optimisation, quantum-inspired algorithms, high-performance computing, and field-programmable gate array (FPGA) techniques to improve the theoretical modelling and optimise their tools and instruments for the search of ultra rare events.
WP4: Education Programmes
and Outreach
A dedicated work package aims at providing a unique multi-disciplinary training programme for the researchers involved in the project and the community at large. It also design targeted events and conferences for the broader community of physicists and computer scientists and interested in the field.
Overall project coordination. Management of the relations between CERN and the Eric and Wendy Schmidt Fund for Strategic Innovation, the external partners and the internal CERN services. Technical and financial reporting. Project-level communications activities.
