The ecosystem

The AMI ecosystem is developed at LPSC-Grenoble since 2000. The first prototype was designed to provide bookkeeping interfaces for the very first test beam data of the ATLAS Liquid Argon Calorimeter. In 2006, AMI became the ATLAS official dataset selection service. Progressively, the ecosystem was rewritten to be completely generic and to cover all the metadata needs of scientific experiments. Afterwards, it has been adopted by other collaborations like NIKA2 (2019), Rosetta (2017), SuperNemo (2015) and nEDM (2014).

Now, the AMI Team consists in 3 full time engineers based at LPSC. Thanks to the other contributors:

• Maxime Jaume (2021 - 2023)
• Yann Chauvin (2017 - 2018)
• Solveig Albrand (2000 - 2017)

Laboratoire de Physique Subatomique et de Cosmologie
53, avenue des Martyrs
38000 Grenoble

A laboratory which aims to understand the infinitely small and the the infinitely large.

The purpose of our research is to improve our knowledge about the most elementary particles and about the forces that govern their interactions. It helps to broaden our understanding of the universe, its structure and its evolution. Our research also affects our everyday lives; for example, it enables us to come up with innovative solutions in the field of nuclear power or cancer treatment, and to train a new generation of researchers, teachers and engineers. We strive to spread our knowledge throughout society and to enhance it through collaborations with companies and laboratories.

The LPSC is a Mixed Teaching and Research Unit, affiliated to the National Nuclear and Particle Physics Institute l’IN2P3 from the CNRS, as well as to the UGA and Grenoble-INP from the University of Grenoble. 225 employees in 2012 working at LPSC divided in such categories:

• 75 CNRS researchers and university lecturers
• 95 engineers and technicians
• 35 PhD students
• 25 fixed term contract workers
