COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT FOR THE SUPER-CHARM- TAU FACTORY DETECTOR PROJECT

Abstract

The project of the Super Charm-Tau (SCT) factory – a high-luminosity electron-positron collider forstudying charmed hadrons and tau lepton – is proposed by Budker INP. The project implies singlecollision point equipped with a universal particle detector. The Aurora software framework has beendeveloped for the SCT detector. It is based on trusted and widely used in high energy physics softwarepackages, such as Gaudi, Geant4, and ROOT. At the same time, new ideas and developments areemployed, in particular the Aurora project benefits a lot from the turnkey software for future colliders(Key4HEP) initiative. This paper describes the first release of the Aurora framework, summarizes itscore technologies, structure and roadmap for the near future. From the hardware point of view theBudker INP general computing facility (BINP/GCF) providing the required computational and storageresources is described.
