HELIX Analysis Workshop
Organized by Dennis Calderon
December 4-6, 2024
Location: Physics Research Building
The HELIX Analysis Workshop is designed specifically for early career scientists to provide a collaborative environment addressing data analysis challenges. HELIX recently had its first successful flight this year, with a flight time of 6.3 days and over 125M events, but the challenge now is to analyze the data to gain key physics insights into cosmic ray propagation.
Our main task is to develop the tools needed to thoroughly analyze the data from the HELIX 2024 Campaign. The goal would be to develop methods to clean the data, select for high charge events, and obtain physics measurements. We also plan to host talks that cover background information, analysis methods, high performance computing tools, and general software development. This workshop would be essential in establishing OSU as a main player in the analysis by fast tracking the local team with the tools needs to obtain physics results to further our understanding of cosmic ray propagation.
