I am a high energy physicist working at the European Laboratory for Nuclear Research, CERN. I have had a strong involvement in software throughout my working life, contributing to the ATLAS experiment in recent years. I work closely with the High Energy Physics Software Foundation (HSF). Recently I started to work more and more in Julia, which I think shows tremendous promise for high energy physics.
Session
Jets in high energy physics are sprays of particles resulting from one parent particle produced in a collision at colliders. Clustering the energy deposits of these final particles is vital for reconstructing the properties of the original parent. We present a new Julia package, JetReconstruction.jl, which does just that. We discuss the performance compared to existing solutions, particularly in C++, and demonstrate the ergonomics and extensibility we have achieved in Julia.
