FAIRsharing record for: National High Energy Physics Science Data Center

This FAIRsharing record describes: The National High Energy Physics Science Data Center (NHEPSDC) is a repository for high-energy physics. In 2019, it was designated as a scientific data center at the national level by the Ministry of Science and Technology of China (MOST). NHEPSDC is constructed and operated by the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). NHEPSDC consists of a main data center in Beijing, a branch center in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and a branch center in Huairou District of Beijing. The mission of NHEPSDC is to provide the services of data collection, archiving, long-term preservation, access and sharing, software tools, and data analysis. The services of NHEPSDC are mainly for high-energy physics and related scientific research activities. The data collected can be roughly divided into the following two categories: one is the raw data from large scientific facilities, and the other is data generated from general scientific and technological projects (usually supported by government funding), hereafter referred to as generic data. In the past three years, the average data increment is about 10 PB per year. By integrating data resources with the IT environment, a state-of-art data process platform is provided to users for scientific research, the volume of data accessed every year is more than 400 PB with more than 10 million visits.
