CERN unveiled raw particle collision data
It is a translation. Original: “CERN makes public first data of LHC experiments” .
CERN launched the Open Data Portal , thus making its first public release of data on real collisions of particles produced by BAK experiments. Now anyone can analyze particle collisions without having their own LHC.

“The launch of CERN Open Data Portal is an important step for our organization. Data from the BAC program are among the most valuable assets of the BAC experiments. Today we begin to openly share them with the world. We hope that this data will support and inspire the research community around the world, including students and civil scientists, ”commented the launch of the portal CERN CEO Rolf Heuer.

The principle of openness is enshrined in the main agreement of CERN. All BAC publications were published with open access, free for reading and reuse. Expanding the possibilities, the recent BAC cooperation approved the Open Data policy and will publish data on collisions in the future.
The first published high-level and analyzed collision data are CMS ( Compact Muon Solenoid ) data and were initially collected in 2010 after the first launch of the LHC. Now this data set will be available in open access on the CERN Open Data Portal website. Open source software will also be available with them for reading and analyzing them with the appropriate documentation.
“This is completely new for us and it is very interesting for us to see how this data will be used,” says Kati Lassila-Perini, CMS data accumulation coordinator. “We have prepared tools and examples of various levels of complexity, ranging from simplified analysis to ready-to-use online applications. We hope that these examples will stimulate the creativity of new users. ”
Parallel to this, the CERN Open Data Portal provides access to additional data sets obtained from ALICE, ATLAS, CMS and LHCb groups. These data were prepared specifically for teaching purposes, such as international master classes in particle physics, in which more than 10,000 students participate annually. All these resources are accompanied by tools for visualization.
“Our own data policy involves the preservation and dissemination of data. In the past, we have seen how fascinated students are by the opportunity to analyze data obtained from LHC, so we are happy to take this first step and make selective data available for training, ”said Silvia Amerio, coordinator of data storage with LHCb experiments.
“The development of this open data portal represents the first stage in our mission to preserve and distribute the research materials of our users. It will provide access to the data and means of processing it and make it available in the present and the future, ”says Tim Smith from the CERN IT department.
All data on OpenData.cern.ch is distributed under a Creative Commons CC0 public domain dedication license; data and software have unique DOI identifiers, giving the possibility of quoting in scientific papers; the software is also distributed under the open source license. The CERN Open Data Portal is created on the open-source Invenio Digital Library software, which also runs other CERN Open Science tools.
