Virtual Workshop 2025 - Data Management: From Instrument to First Storage - Day 1 - Data Management in High Peak Power Petawatt Laser Experiments at the ZEUS Facility Franko Bayer, Qing Zhang

Data Management in High Peak Power Petawatt Laser Experiments at the ZEUS Facility

Presented by Franko Bayer and Qing Zhang, from the Zettawatt-Equivalent Ultrashort Pulse Laser System (ZEUS)

This talk presents an overview of the ZEUS facility and its capabilities, focusing on data lifecycle management for laser wakefield experiments. In our first year, we achieved 1.0 PW and up to 2.4 GeV electron beam energy, with plans to reach 2 PW by March 2024 and 3 PW by September 2026, making ZEUS the highest peak power research facility in the U.S. We'll discuss the data lifecycle from acquisition to dissemination, including the architecture for initial storage. The presentation will highlight problems solved, lessons learned, and current and future challenges. Additionally, we will cover our approach to incorporating user-specific instruments and ensuring that data remains useful and usable throughout its lifecycle as a user facility for high field science.

NSF CI Compass hosted the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) CI Compass virtual workshop "Data Management: From Instrument to First Storage" from January 22-24, 2025.
