The EOSC-Synergy LAGO thematic service: Atmospheric background radiation simulations in the cloud

Using the Service

• Activity: Install and use ARTI URL

  The ARTI Framework

  ARTI is A framework designed to simulate the signals produced by the secondary particles emerging from the interaction of the flux of primary cosmic rays with the atmosphere. These signals are simulated for any particle detector located at any place (latitude, longitude and altitude), including the real-time atmospheric, geomagnetic and detector conditions. Below you can see the simulation of the response of one of the LAGO water Cherenkov detectors, or WCD as we name them,  when a muon traverse the detector. 

  
  

  You can try ARTI by cloning or downloading it from our repository or you can try one of our docker files.

  LAGO onedataSim: tools for ARTI on OneData

  onedataSim standardises the simulations and their analysis in LAGO Collaboration to curate, re-use and publishes the results, following the Data Management Plan (DMP) established. 

  For this purpose, onedataSim packets ARTI and related software into a Docker image, giving researchers the advantage of obtaining results on any platform and publishing them on LAGO repositories.

  Try onedatasim on your own computer by using the onedataSim (S0) docker from the LAGO docker hub.

  LAGO TS: astroparticle and detector response simulations in cloud-based environments 

  LAGO TS consist of a set of tools that allow the calculation of the expected flux of atmospheric radiation and detector response in cloud-based environments and producing data complying with the FAIR principles. 

  In this hands-on presentation, a step-by-step guide for creating and accessing virtual environments, deploying the dockers containing the computations and running different types of simulations is explained.

  Prepare your browser and terminal and follow this hands-on talk. 

  
  

  
  

• Activity: Explain the LAGO TS Workflow Forum

  The LAGO TS workflow

  Once you complete this section, you should be able to properly describe the complete LAGO TS workflow. 

  So, after completing this section, take a look at this image and try to explain how the LAGO TS workflow, from providers to the FAIR principles, by using your own words.
