DPHEP: From Study Group to Collaboration

الأصل · EN

The international study group on data preservation in high energy physics, DPHEP, achieved a milestone in 2012 with the publication of its eagerly anticipated large scale report, which contains a description of data preservation activities from all major high energy physics collider-based experiments and laboratories. DPHEP will evolve to a new collaboration structure in 2013. The formation of the study group is described, as well as some of the key messages from the report focussing on the physics case for the preservation of high energy physics data and a description of the different preservation models. Finally, the future working directions of the new collaboration are outlined.
