Open LHC Monte Carlo Event Generation

arXiv (Cornell University)

Abstract

The LHC physics programme involves a vast amount of Monte Carlo event simulation. This paper reviews current efforts towards sharing the generated events as Open Data. Open Event Generation helps reduce duplication of effort and resource consumption, and benefits the whole High Energy Physics community. We give examples of use cases and user experiences, discuss financial and environmental savings, and suggest future directions.
