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, providing common infrastructure and expertise to CERN and CERN-recognized experiments. Most of the activities are carried out in the context of the Applications Area of the LHC Computing Grid (WLCG) project. The group coordinates the software package of EP R&D (WP7), being directly involved in most of the WP7 tasks, and it is also involved in community initiatives such as the HEP Software Foundation (HSF). In addition, several group members have direct responsibilities in the software projects of the LHC experiments and FCC.
SFT projects are organised in five main areas: Simulation, ROOT, CernVM, Stacks and ML4EP.
SFT Group Meetings
Projects
SFT puts its expertise and talents at the service of CERN and CERN-recognized experiments with the goal of designing and developing highly innovating scientific software solutions. It also provides the basic building blocks of every successful software stack, from event generation, simulation and data analysis. The packages developed and maintained by the SFT group are not only targeting High Energy Physics, but also other disciplines, for example Medical Sciences, Biology and Astronomy.
