Snowmass 2013 Computing Frontier Storage and Data Management

The data storage and data management needs are summarized for the energy frontier, intensity frontier, cosmic frontier, lattice field theory, perturbative QCD and accelerator science. The outlook for data storage technologies and costs is then outlined, followed by a summary of the current state of data, software and physics analysis capability preservation. The HEP outlook is summarized, pointing out where future data volumes may strain against what is technologically and financially feasible. Finally recommendations for areas of particular attention and action are made.

Geant4 - Current and Future : A Snowmass 2013 White Paper

The US involvement in Geant4 started with its adoption by the BaBar experiment at SLAC in 1997 and the subsequent creation of a group at SLAC supporting BaBar and contributing to Geant4 development. SLAC has provided the leadership of the international Geant4 Collaboration for the recent years and carries major responsibilities for evolutionary development of the existing code with work to implement multithreading and explore new application domains as well as new technologies such as GPUs. This paper presents the current and the future developments being carried by the SLAC Geant4 team.

Status Report of the DPHEP Study Group: Towards a Global Effort for Sustainable Data Preservation in High Energy Physics

Data from high-energy physics (HEP) experiments are collected with significant financial and human effort and are mostly unique. An inter-experimental study group on HEP data preservation and long-term analysis was convened as a panel of the International Committee for Future Accelerators (ICFA). The group was formed by large collider-based experiments and investigated the technical and organisational aspects of HEP data preservation. An intermediate report was released in November 2009 addressing the general issues of data preservation in HEP. This paper includes and extends the intermediate report. It provides an analysis of the research case for data preservation and a detailed description of the various projects at experiment, laboratory and international levels. In addition, the paper provides a concrete proposal for an international organisation in charge of the data management and policies in high-energy physics.
