Introduction

The Photon Science Data Management (PSDM) project is aiming at developing an offline infrastructure for storing, archiving and delivering to end users the experimental data from the LUSI instruments. The primary source of data will be the LCLS Detector Control System.

• DISCLAIMER: A collection of pages found hereafter is not meant to be treated as the main user portal to the Data Management system. The documentation's primary goal is to support the ongoing development of the system and to serve as an educational source for the project developers and participants, as well as for those who (for various reasons) are curious about the project. Please follow this link if you need to see a consistent set of user documentations explaning services which are provided by the system.
