The ARGO-YBJ Project is a Sino-Italian Cooperation, which was started in 2000 and will be fully operational in 2007, to research the origin of high-energy cosmic rays. It will generate more than 200 terabytes of raw data each year, which will then be transferred from Tibet to the Beijing Institute of High Energy Physics, processed and made available to physicists worldwide via a web portal. Chinese and Italian scientists are building a grid-based infrastructure to handle this data, which will have about 400 CPUs, mass storage and broadband networking, a preview of which is demonstrated at iGrid. |
