Detector-simulation
I am part of the LHCb experiment in Particle Physics that performs research into the decays of heavy hadrons produced in proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider.

Project Code: L000245
The Challenge
For the next generation of the experiment, we are developing a new calorimeter that will be able to sustain higher data rates and higher radiation doses.
The Solution
Simulation of detector configurations are required to support this. The work will use a mixture of simulations using the Geant4 C++ framework, algorithm development using TensorFlow and subsequent analysis.
The Outcome
In this case, the outcome was minor. As stated in application, this was a pilot project to assess the use of Pawsey for this project. In the end it turned outthat it was more efficient for us to use resources elsewhere.
