(DOE/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory) One month a year, the nuclei of lead atoms traveling near the speed of light will collide in the Large Hadron Collider's (LHC) ALICE experiment. Ten percent of all of the data collected in this month will travel from Switzerland to NERSC at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and to Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Northern California via the Energy Sciences Network. These facilities will provide the primary computing and storage resources for the ALICE collaboration in North and South America.
