Before you connect

Questions about CERN Open Data.

The practical details behind the request, access and result.

How can I find Higgs boson data with CERN Open Data?

You can ask your agent to search by category or experiment. It will scan the 66,000+ available records and return a list of relevant datasets, including metadata like event counts and file sizes.

Does CERN Open Data help me find research software?

Yes, you can search for specific analysis frameworks, reconstruction capabilities, and validation software. It provides titles, descriptions, and direct links to the software used in published results.

Can CERN Open Data include the physics glossary?

Yes, it includes over 1,000 glossary entries. Your agent can pull definitions for technical terms like luminosity, b-tagging, and various detector components.

How do I get the files for a specific DOI?

You can simply provide the DOI to your agent. It will resolve the DOI to the correct CERN Open Data record and provide you with the file distribution summary and URIs.

Can I see how many datasets are in the CMS experiment?

Yes, your agent can pull portal statistics to show you the total count of datasets for CMS, along with other experiments like ATLAS and ALICE.

Is there a way to find data for specific collision energies?

You can filter searches by specific energy levels, such as 13 TeV or 7 TeV. This helps you quickly isolate data from specific LHC runs.

Do I need an API key to use this server?

No. The CERN Open Data Portal API is completely public and requires no authentication. Simply subscribe to this server and enter any placeholder value in the API key field to start querying particle physics datasets immediately.

What kind of data can I access from CERN?

You can access over 66,000 datasets from major LHC experiments (CMS, ATLAS, ALICE, LHCb) and legacy experiments (DELPHI, OPERA). This includes real collision data, Monte Carlo simulations, derived datasets, analysis software, physics glossary entries, and detailed documentation. Data covers Higgs boson searches, Dark Matter studies, exotic particle searches, heavy-ion physics, and more.

Can I use CERN data for machine learning projects?

Absolutely. CERN provides labeled datasets specifically designed for ML applications, including particle identification, jet classification, event reconstruction, and anomaly detection. Use the search capabilities with queries like 'machine learning' or filter by file type 'csv' or 'nanoaodsim' to find ML-ready formats. The CMS experiment alone has published thousands of simulated datasets with known physics labels.
