Services for Synchrotron Deployment and Operation

  • Chapter
eScience on Distributed Computing Infrastructure

Abstract

The construction of the first synchrotron in Poland as well as its future operation have to be supported by adequate IT services. As there was no similar instrument in Poland before, new services have to be built especially for it. The intended target user groups of these services are: engineers and scientists preparing the synchrotron deployment and operation, its operators, accelerator physicists and beam scientists overseeing the synchrotron operation and delivery of light to the end-users’ experimental stations, and, finally, end-users of the synchrotron who need to store and archive the data obtained during the experiment. This article describes the IT services supporting the Polish synchrotron built within the PLGrid Plus project.
