Focus: Astro Particle Physics | Presentación The computing model used by the LHC experiments, including ALICE, is based on
distributed computing using grid technologies. The group in the ICN-UNAM has
participated in the computing effort for over a decade with a small Tier-2 node. In 2010,
the ALICE collaboration approached our group with the suggestion to create a Tier-1 data
center for ALICE, which will be part of the computing grid for the LHC (WLCG). At the
moment, the data center is classified as Tier-2, with plans to become a Tier-1 candidate
and eventually a full Tier-1 center.
