CHEP 2021 - 25th International Conference on Computing in High Energy and Nuclear Physics
Preface
The 25th edition of Computing in High Energy Physics, CHEP, took place as a virtual event, organised by CERN, from 17-21 May 2021. Due to the global Covid-19 pandemic the planned CHEP event in Norfolk, Virginia, had to be postponed, so CERN stepped in to ensure that the high-energy and nuclear physics community had the opportunity of presenting and publishing work at a CHEP conference without an unreasonable gap between them.
More than 1000 people took the opportunity to attend this edition of CHEP and the conference website hosts the scientific materials that were presented there.
The CHEP conference series was established in 1985 and, since then, has been held roughly every 18 months, with the location rotating between Europe, Asia-Pacific and the Americas. It brings together physicists, computer scientists and software engineers, from students to senior researchers, to discuss the key topics in software and computing for the field. These topics range from online computing and data acquisition, to offline reconstruction, to final analysis software; as well as the simulation and the distributed computing sites and systems used. For the first time at a CHEP a Quantum Computing parallel session was organised.
