Policies

LCLS users are responsible for complying with the data management and curation policies of their home institutions and funding agents and authorities. To enhance the scientific productivity of the LCLS user community, LCLS supplies on-site disk, tape and compute resources for prompt analysis of LCLS data, and software to access those resources consistent with the published data retention policy. Compute resources are preferentially allocated to recent and running experiments.

Data Management

LCLS provides space for all your experiment's data at no cost for you. This includes the raw data from the detectors as well as the data derived from your analysis. Your raw data are available as XTC files or, on demand, as HDF5 files. The tools for managing files are described here.

Running the Analysis

The analysis framework is documented in the Data Analysis page for the LCLS-I/HXR systems. This section describes the resources available for running the analysis. The following figure shows a logic diagram of the LCLS data flow and indicates the different stages where data analysis can be performed in LCLS:
