The SFT group in the EP department develops and maintains common scientific software for the physics experiments in close collaboration with the EP experimental groups, the IT department and external HEP institutes. Most of the group is involved in software development projects organised as part of the Applications Area of the LHC Computing Grid (WLCG) project. The group leads and participates actively to community initiatives such as HEP Software Foundation (HSF) and provides common infrastructure, expertise and training to the CERN experiments. In addition, several group members have direct responsibilities in the software projects of the LHC experiments and FCC.
SFT projects are organised in four main areas: Simulation, ROOT, CernVM and Stacks.
