Description
The next generation of subatomic physics research faces monumental technological challenges. These complexities span multiple domains, from experimental design and the stable operation of accelerators and cutting-edge detectors to the acquisition of high-rate data streams and real-time data analysis, and ultimately to the interpretation of the results. Particularly, the distinction between hardware and software, as well as online and offline computations, will diminish in the next generation of accelerator-driven research. In this talk, I will give an overview of the challenges that occur and being addressed in the design and operation of a near-future experiment in the field of subatomic physics, using the research to be conducted at FAIR in Darmstadt as an example.
