      EOSC Future User Group

      Caterina is part of the EOSC Future User Group. Upcoming activities:  

      Dear EOSC Future User Group members,

      We hope this email finds you well. Please find here the recent key updates concerning the User Group activities. 

      1. Profiling Survey finally online!

      As anticipated earlier, to make good use of your time and expertise we would like to run a profiling exercise to better understand the activities and topics you like to be involved with in the future as part of your commitment to the EOSC Future User Group. 

      We kindly ask you to respond to the EOSC Future User Group Profiling Survey on EOSC Portal [link] by Friday 17th of December, 23:59 CET. 

      Thank you in advance. Your work and contributions in the User Group will be highly valuable! 

      2. EOSC ESFRI Workshop

      As mentioned at the EOSC Future User Group kick-off meeting, an EOSC ESFRI workshop will be organised on 25-26 January 2022. The workshop aims at fostering the liaison among ESFRI Research Infrastructures and EOSC and understanding how they will be working together. On Tuesday 25th of January 2022 (from 11:00 to 16:00 CET including a lunch break) there will be three sessions that we would like you to attend remotely. 

      • Session 1 focuses on researcher engagement and adoption: you will hear user stories from researchers working with Open Science and FAIR practices
      • Session 2 focuses on analysing the benefits that EOSC can bring to Research Infrastructures (meaning to thematic disciplines) with examples of use cases
      • The final session of the day from 14:30 to 15:45 will be an interactive session to discuss the topics tackled in session 1 and 2. Chaired by the the European Commission, this session will be built around some themes where we would like to collect the views and input of the User Group. 

      You can attend the meeting in remote and you do not need to prepare any material before the meeting. We would like to hear your voice during the session.

      That is why we have added a question in the profiling webform (Question 11) about your availability. As the format of the last session of the day strongly depends on your participation please inform us if you are available to participate to the event (25 January from 11 to 16 CET). 

      More details on the agenda of the event will be shared later on. 

      3. Confluence Wiki page 

      We have created a public wiki page where you can find up-to-date information and all the material shared within the User Group in one place (eg. Introductory Webinar recording and slides, links to the surveys). The wiki page will be supplemented and updated along the way. 

      If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us. 

      Thank you in advance.

      Wishing you a nice weekend.

      Best regards,

      Iiris Liinamaa

    • 10:05 10:15
      Brief update from theory/gamma ray LAPTh postdoc 10m
      Orateurs: Francesca Calore (LAPTh, CNRS), Pasquale Dario Serpico (LAPTh, Annecy-le-vieux)

      Updates: 

      • Pooja installed in Annecy/LAPP
      • She met with Arturo/Enrique for VRE, discussion on-going to define the framework
      • Defined science project to expand ESCAPE software catalog 

      Tasks: 

      • Start working on code/project
      • VRE indirect detection definition
    • 10:15 10:20
      Brief update from ATLAS/LHC postdoc 5m
      Orateurs: Caterina Doglioni (Lund University), Jared Little (LAPP), Stephane JEZEQUEL (LAPP), Tetiana Hryn'ova (LAPP)

      Currently (before Dec 2021):

      Running ATLAS code on local resources to reinterpret dilepton limits in terms of DM mediators. This includes two steps:

      1. MC generation step for signal templates to get fiducial cross-sections

      2. Comparing fiducial cross-sections to limits

      [Optional: there is an upgrade Z’ search for HL-LHC, but it’s not fiducial]

       

      January-March 2022

      Work towards Snowmass whitepaper effort (deadline of 15 March 2022)

      Baseline: produce plots as above with inputs from future colliders from local resources

      Target: put step 2. data/software on ESCAPE catalogue

      • Onboarding of scripts/software → procedure is defined already

      • Inclusion of cross-sections in data lake (small files)

      • Optional: Make Jupyter notebook

       

      Optional / next step in this period: also do step 1 on ESCAPE catalogue

      Alongside this: work on the second ATLAS data analysis (Z’+MET)

       

      Before summer 2022: 

      • do step 1 on ESCAPE services

      • Test RECAST for dilepton analysis

      • Keep working on Z’+MET

      • Keep designing VRE for this and future use cases

       

      End of 2022: Z’+MET ATLAS data analysis ready with RECAST implementation

      After this point: 

      • Onboarding of software 

      • Inclusion of (a lot of) data in the data lake

        • This requires authentication so that ATLAS people only access this

    • 10:20 10:25
      Brief update from KM3Net postdoc 5m
      Orateur: Dr Kay Graf (ECAP - University of Erlangen)
      • Integrate a service for Instrument Response Function setting up an EOSC-compliant service; timeline ~3 months.
      • Software for DM analysis from KM3NeT not yet available - need to publish. Timeline ~ 6months
      • DAC21 challenge of KM3NeT successful (raw data, calibration pipeline and quick analysis); minor follow ups; for data we will build on that.
    • 10:25 10:30
      Brief update from CERN postdoc 5m
      Orateurs: Elena Gazzarrini (CERN), Simone Campana (CERN), Xavier Espinal (CERN)
      • Data Lake

      • Reproducible analysis (REANA) workflows: data+computing steps+software+environment:

        • Understand better what the scientific goal is

        • Common analysis environment where data is fetched from rucio, workflows preserved on zenodo are run, users upload their environment. Make it work outside CERN. 

        • Discuss interface: whether jupyterhub (currently datalake as a service) with Reana extension (similar to rucio extension, already exists), or terminal on Reana platform would be preferable from physicists’ point of view

        • To ensure persistence in time (ESCAPE facilities will expire), migration to Swan will be required

        • Prepare a demo instance for Citizen Science with the data from Jared and Pooja, running on external resources. 

      • Documentation for new users:

        • Creating operational Data Lake-Rucio documentation by going over all the tickets that the developers created

    • 10:30 10:35
      Updates on recruitment / plans for DARKSIDE and Gamma-ray postdocs 5m
      Orateurs: Valerio Ippolito (Harvard University), tommaso boccali (INFN)
