Abstract
Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

Description | Explored a range of possibilities using simulation of how we might at a future high luminosity version of the LHC at CERN be able to use real-time data from the tracking detector to trigger the recording of an event. |
Exploitation Route | This is being taken forwards by subsequent funded projects that we contribute to. |

Sector | Public |
PI Contribution | Construction, comissioning and operation of the CMS experiment. Data analysis in top-quark physics studies. Provision (via GridPP London Tier-2) of computing resources. |
Collaborator Contribution | Data acquistion, computing resources (Tier 0), co-authorship of publications, access to data, scientific leadership and support |
Impact | Over 200 refereed journal publications in experimental particle physics. Along with LHC data analysed by the ATLAS collaboration CMS determined the existence of the Higgs boson which was the subject of the 2013 Nobel Prize in Physics. Several STFC funded doctoral students have been trained in data analysis, computer programming and large-scale distributed Grid computing techniques. |
