AbstractRemote data monitoring from the physicists' home institutions has become an important issue in large international experiments to ensure high performance of the detectors and high quality of data and scientific results. CDF experiment is a collaboration of 450 physicists from 36 institutions in the US, Japan, Canada, Italy and Taiwan. Future experiments at Fermilab, CERN and elsewhere will be even larger, and will be performed over a period of order 10 years. The ability of collaborators at remote sites to monitor the increasingly complex detectors and feed the results back into the data acquisition process will be increasingly important.
CDF data accquisition monitoring includes accelerator status, detector statistics, collision rates, trigger, event pictures, selecting events to perform online and offline analyses. High-end networking enables access and monitoring at remote sites. Packet video conferencing provides communication between collaborators at the remote site and collaborators in the CDF control room, on-site at Fermi Lab, or at other remote institutions.
We report on the status and performance of CDF data monitoring from Japan. We also discuss feasibilities for modest Remote Control Rooms.
