Plans for LHC computing in Spain
• Not much going on in the institutes involved in LHCb (Barcelona and Santiago) • Recently created working group with representatives of several experimental groups: (IFAE, Santander, Valencia and Madrid)
Aim: Create two Tier2 centers for ATLAS and CMS computing. LHCb would have to be integrated in one of them.
• No funding for it yet. • Very preliminary.
Collaboration with some computing departments in Barcelona (investigating CONDOR) and Santander (GLOBUS)
• GRID proposal: IFAE signed as assistant contractor (to CNRS)
If approved will work in the testbed part of the proposal
