Abstract

Particle physics analyses face reusability challenges due to manual, undocumented steps by analysis teams. Typically, reusable datasets are processed with individually developed scripts and frameworks. This project addresses these issues for PSI Laboratory for Particle Physics (CMS, Mu3e, n2EDM) experiments by encoding missing information in the code repository and integrating it into the execution environment. It provides templates for automatic code testing and packages it in portable software containers. These containers are distributed on compute clusters for parallel processing. With a focus on user experience and adoption, this setup builds on PSI's existing infrastructure, aiming for large-scale deployment. It includes documentation, training, and sharing results at an international computing workshop.
