an asset that was vital after transitioning to a new, upgraded version of the experiment in 2018. Compared to the original experiment, the electrons
blasting into the target material in the new experiment carry twice the energy –– 12 billion electron volts to be exact. This new experiment, coined
‘CLAS12’ to signify this energy increase, also engendered a tenfold increase in computing demand. While Jefferson Lab’s in-house computing resources are
extensive, the sheer amount of data produced in the CLAS12 experiment is substantial. Today, the experiment generates about 1 petabyte of data each year.
To put this number into perspective, 1 petabyte is equivalent to
twenty million four-drawer filing cabinets completely filled with text, or 13.3 years of HD-TV video. That’s <em>a lot</em> of data to manage.</p>
