Data Preservation in High Energy Physics: Global Report 2026

This document summarizes the contributions to the 5th DPHEP workshop March 5-6, 2026, CERN, and reflects the advancements since 2024, as well as future milestones and tendencies. Impressive progress in HEP data preservation is observed. Legacy data revival was showcased through successful reanalysis of archived data using contemporary methods, demonstrating the long-term scientific value of preservation. Sustainability challenges were noted, emphasizing the need for long-term funding and institutional support to maintain data preservation infrastructure, particularly for legacy experiments transitioning to archival modes. Innovative transverse projects display constant progress towards common technologies for a robust and transferrable DP. In particular, there is a clear shift toward automation, with increasing use of AI and machine learning for data curation, metadata extraction, and workflow optimization. Open science momentum is growing, with wider adoption of FAIR principles and open data policies, and experiments committing to public releases.

The LHCb Sprucing and Analysis Productions

The LHCb detector underwent a comprehensive upgrade in preparation for the third data-taking run of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), known as LHCb Upgrade I. The increased data rate of Run 3 not only posed data collection (Online) challenges but also significant Offline data processing and analysis ones. The offline processing and analysis model was consequently upgraded to handle the factor 30 increase in data volume and the associated demands of ever-growing analyst-level datasets, led by the LHCb Data Processing and Analysis (DPA) project. This paper documents the LHCb "Sprucing" - the centralised offline processing, selections and streaming of data - and "Analysis Productions" - the centralised and highly automated declarative nTuple production system. The DaVinci application used by analysis productions for tupling spruced data is described as well as the apd and lbconda tools for data retrieval and analysis environment configuration. These tools allow for greatly improved analyst workflows and analysis preservation. Finally, the approach to data processing and analysis in the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) era - LHCb Upgrade II - is discussed.
