Port d'Informació Científica

The Port d'Informació Científica (PIC, the Scientific Information Harbor) is a high throughput scientific data processing center located on the campus of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB, Catalonia, Spain). PIC is a first level (Tier-1) data center for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiments at CERN (the European Particle Physics Lab near Geneva, Switzerland) and the main data center of the MAGIC Telescopes and the PAUcam camera, both located at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory in La Palma, Canary Islands. PIC is one of the Scientific Data Centers of the Science Ground Segment of the Euclid mission of the European Space Agency. PIC also gives support to other research projects in particle physics, astrophysics, observational cosmology and other fields. PIC is maintained through a collaboration agreement between the Institut de Física d'Altes Energies (IFAE) and the Centro de Investigaciones Energéticas, Medioambientales y Tecnológicas (CIEMAT).
