A Roadmap for HEP Software and Computing R&D for the 2020s

Johannes Albrecht, Antonio Augusto Alves, Guilherme Amadio +307

Particle physics has an ambitious and broad experimental programme for the coming decades. This programme requires large investments in detector hardware, either to build new facil…

Enabling Object Storage via shims for Grid Middleware

Samuel Cadellin Skipsey, Shaun De Witt, Alastair Dewhurst +3

The Object Store model has quickly become the basis of most commercially successful mass storage infrastructure, backing so-called "Cloud" storage such as Amazon S3, but also under…

Extending DIRAC File Management with Erasure-Coding for efficient storage

Samuel Cadellin Skipsey, Paulin Todev, David Britton +2

The state of the art in Grid style data management is to achieve increased resilience of data via multiple complete replicas of data files across multiple storage endpoints. While…

Upper limits on gravitational wave emission from 78 radio pulsars

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott, M. Kramer +1

We present upper limits on the gravitational wave emission from 78 radio pulsars based on data from the third and fourth science runs of the LIGO and GEO600 gravitational wave dete…

Titania-doped tantala/silica coatings for gravitational-wave detection

Gregory M. Harry, Matthew R. Abernathy, Andres E. Becerra-Toledo +23

Reducing thermal noise from optical coatings is crucial to reaching the required sensitivity in next generation interferometric gravitational-waves detectors. Here we show that add…

Coherent searches for periodic gravitational waves from unknown isolated sources and Scorpius X-1: results from the second LIGO science run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration

We carry out two searches for periodic gravitational waves using the most sensitive few hours of data from the second LIGO science run. The first search is targeted at isolated, pr…
