Short description

The software group from the Department participates in the analysis of unique data from the Borexino and GERDA neutrino experiments. Modern methods of data analysis use algorithms based on machine learning and High Performance Computing systems (HPC) are used during their execution. During the practice, the student will have the opportunity to undertake one of the current issues as part of collaborative work. The student will be able to use the computing power available in PL-GRID to perform massive Monte Carlo simulations or make attempts to optimize filters based on neural network algorithms. Employing the ARES supercomputer, we will perform Monte Carlo simulations on a huge scale, not present so far in the course of data analysis in the above neutrino experiments. During the student internship, we will try to use HPC methods in order to increase the experimental sensitivity and possible discoveries in the future. The student will be introduced to the application of Singularity, the main goal of which is to introduce the use of containers and preservation of reproducibility to large-scale scientific computing.
