D0 Data Analysis
The D0 Experiment, which relies on the Tevatron Collider
at Fermilab, is a worldwide collaboration of scientists
conducting research on the fundamental nature of matter.
The research focuses on precise studies of interactions
of protons and antiprotons at the highest available energies
as part of an intense search for subatomic clues that reveal
the character of the building blocks of the universe.
Currently, raw data from the D0 detector is processed at
Fermilab's computer farm, and results are written to tape.
At iGrid, researchers show that by using the transoceanic
NetherLight network, it is possible to process raw data on
computers at NIKHEF and send the results back to Fermilab.
