A Distributed Storage for Astroparticle Physics

Abstract

In this paper we present the architecture of a distributed data storage for astroparticle physics. The main advantage of the proposed architecture is the possibility to extract data on both file and event level for further processing and analysis. The storage also provides users with a special service allowing to aggregate data from different storages into a single sample. This feature permits to apply multi-messenger methods for more sophisticated investigation of the data. Users can use both Webinterface and Application Programming Interface (API) for accessing the storage.
