Snowmass 2021 Computational Frontier CompF4 Topical Group Report: Storage and Processing Resource Access

Computing plays a significant role in all areas of high energy physics. The Snowmass 2021 CompF4 topical group's scope is facilities R&D, where we consider "facilities" as the computing hardware and software infrastructure inside the data centers plus the networking between data centers, irrespective of who owns them, and what policies are applied for using them. In other words, it includes commercial clouds, federally funded High Performance Computing (HPC) systems for all of science, and systems funded explicitly for a given experimental or theoretical program. This topical group report summarizes the findings and recommendations for the storage, processing, networking and associated software service infrastructures for future high energy physics research, based on the discussions organized through the Snowmass 2021 community study.

An Improved Limit on the Muon Electric Dipole Moment

Three independent searches for an electric dipole moment (EDM) of the positive and negative muons have been performed, using spin precession data from the muon g-2 storage ring at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Details on the experimental apparatus and the three analyses are presented. Since the individual results on the positive and negative muon, as well as the combined result, d=-0.1(0.9)E-19 e-cm, are all consistent with zero, we set a new muon EDM limit, |d| < 1.9E-19 e-cm (95% C.L.). This represents a factor of 5 improvement over the previous best limit on the muon EDM.

Securing a HENP Computing Facility

Traditionally, HENP computing facilities have been open facilities that are accessed in many different ways by users that are both internal and external to the facility. However, the need to protect the facility from cybersecurity threats has made it difficult to maintain the openness of the facility to off-site and on-site users. In this paper, we discuss the strategy we have used and the architecture we have developed and deployed to increase the security the US ATLAS and RHIC Computing Facilities, while trying to maintain the openness and accessibility that our user community has come to expect. Included in this discussion are the tools that we have used and the operational experience we have had with the deployed architecture.

Software Scalability Issues in Large Clusters

The rapid development of large clusters built with commodity hardware has highlighted scalability issues with deploying and effectively running system software in large clusters. We describe here our experiences with monitoring, image distribution, batch and other system administration software tools within the 1000+ node Linux cluster currently in production at the RHIC Computing Facility.

The GRID and the Linux Farm at the RCF

The emergence of the GRID architecture and related tools will have a large impact in the operation and design of present and future large clusters. We present here the ongoing efforts to equip the Linux Farm at the RHIC Computing Facility with Grid-like capabilities.

Precision Measurement of Muon g-2 at BNL

The Muon (g-2) Experiment (E821) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) has measured the anomalous magnetic moment of the positive muon to an unprecedented precision of 1.3 parts per million. The result, a_{μ^+} = (g-2)/2 = 11 659 202(14)(6) X 10^{-10}, is based on data recorded in 1999 and is in good agreement with previous measurements. Upcoming analysis of data recorded in 2000 and 2001 will substantially reduce the uncertainty on this measurement. Comparison of the new world average experimental value with the most comprehensive Standard Model calculation, a_μ(SM) = 11 659 159.6(6.7) X 10^{-10}, yields a difference of a_μ(exp)-a_μ(SM) = 43(16) X 10^{-10}.

Sensitive Search for a Permanent Muon Electric Dipole Moment

We are proposing a new method to carry out a dedicated search for a permanent electric dipole moment (EDM) of the muon with a sensitivity at a level of 10^{-24} e cm. The experimental design exploits the strong motional electric field sensed by relativistic particles in a magnetic storage ring. As a key feature, a novel technique has been invented in which the g-2 precession is compensated with radial electric field. This technique will benefit greatly when the intense muon sources advocated by the developers of the muon storage rings and the muon colliders become available.
