Durham HepData Project
The Durham HepData Project , derived from the Durham High Energy Physics Database ' Durham High Energy Physics Database ' , is a freely accessible database of the University of Durham in England, in which test results from experimental particle physics are made available. It was replaced in 2016 by HEPData , a database that performs the same function.
history
The database was launched around 1975. A five-year grant from Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC) allowed data from scattering experiments to be stored in the database that was previously owned by several different institutions. The database administration was developed together with the Particle Data Group at the University of California at Berkeley . In the 1980s, the database was operated with batch processing on the central computer of the Rutherford Lab in England . The database then ran on several platforms until it was completely rebuilt in 2005 with MySQL and Java . As of 2016, the database was replaced by its successor, HEPData, which is hosted at CERN.
structure
The purpose of the database is to make published data from complex scattering experiments publicly available. For the database, graphically displayed data were converted into numerical values so that exact comparisons between the various data sets are possible. The data come from several thousand experiments, including those of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the European Nuclear Research Center CERN near Geneva .
