Belle II Computing, Data Production and Software Workshop at KIT

As Belle II prepares for its future high-luminosity phases, software, data production, and computing experts from across the collaboration gathered in Karlsruhe, Germany, for the 2025 Joint Computing, Data Production and Software Workshop. Hosted at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and jointly organized by the Institute for Experimental Particle Physics (ETP) and the Scientific Computing Center (SCC), the workshop brought together around 40 participants from various institutes, many of them from Germany and KIT, for a week of in-depth discussions and collaborative planning.

Spanning topics from calibration and analysis infrastructure to artificial intelligence and modern computing architectures, the workshop tackled the challenges of building a more robust and efficient software and computing ecosystem for Belle II. The goal: to prepare the experiment’s software and computing stack for the demands of the coming years, with improved tools, streamlined workflows, and stronger cross-group collaboration.
