Steering Group

Advisory Group

We have asked the advisory group to (re)advertise the HSF. The text is here if you can do the same for a community not on the AG.

Sapta will make a poster that can be put on office doors and advertise to her undergraduates - get them while they’re young!

(The AG members list has also been updated.)

Reconstruction and Software Triggers

Open Data seminar (Jan 28): speakers confirmed for talks on LHC open data, Collider ML, FM4NPP and COLLIDE-2V datasets.

PyHEP

PyHEP 2025 Users workshop took place last week!

A follow-up meeting with the NVIDIA Python CCCL group was held yesterday. We agreed to establish regular bi-weekly meetings going forward.

During the workshop, there was also a request from the Python community to assist with one of the non-HEP projects presented at the workshop. We need to discuss how and who will contribute to this effort.

JuliaHEP

JuliaHEP 2026 will be in Munich. As JuliaCON is in August 10-15 (Mainz) we disfavour having JuliaHEP the week before/after - likely we’ll wait until September or October.

JuliaCON 2026 - JuliaHEP Mini-symposium.

Organizing JuliaHEP Users Meetings - every other month.

GSoC program 2025

A full report will come soon.

AOB

Physical Constants / HEPdata Library

Standing reminder: we proposed a C++ header-only library that defines physical constants and some salient HEPdata in a lightweight, easy-to-use manner. Also taking into account versioning.

Please get in touch with Graeme Stewart if you would like to discuss involvement in this.
