• Learn how to find DUNE documentation

Documentation access

Much of DUNE’s computing documentation is public and hosted in github

But some requires access via Fermilab SSO or CERN credentials. Documentation is protected for several reasons.

1. it includes specifics about computing systems that might assist hackers

2. it contains preliminary information about scientific or technical projects that have not been cleared for publication

3. it contains confidential details about contracts/purchases

4. it just ended up there

We strongly suggest that DUNE collaborators obtain both Fermilab computing accounts and, at least, a CERN Guest account.

Those actively engaged in running prototypes at CERN likely need to get full CERN Neutrino Platform computing access and join the appropriate egroups.

DUNE tools list

https://atwork.dunescience.org/tools/ lists a large number of DUNE data repositories.

This document highlights a sub-sample and how to access them

Docdb (Requires FNAL SSO)

Docdb is the main repository for analysis notes and physics results.

https://docs.dunescience.org

New DUNE collaborators should be given access automatically and can then use the SSO Link

if that isn’t working, use the Apply for access link on the main page.

DUNE wiki (Requires FNAL SSO)

The DUNE wiki is at https://wiki.dunescience.org

New users should be automatically added to the access list. If you can’t access the wiki please send mail to dune-communications@fnal.gov specifying the error you see. We’ve found that changing your email address can result in access problems.

Tutorials list on the wiki

https://wiki.dunescience.org/wiki/Computing_tutorials is a list of available tutorials.

CERN EDMS

Many technical specifications are stored in the CERN EDMS system

https://edms.cern.ch/

Most files are accessible without login but submitting documents requires a CERN computing account.

Github repositories

DUNE has a Github organization: https://github.com/DUNE/. Repositories in that organization are generally public to read but you need to request access through dune-communications@fnal.gov.

Many repositories have wikis or associated dune.github.io pages.
