SUMMARY

The discussion centers on finding resources for writing a research review on current work at CERN, particularly from a computing perspective. Users recommend starting with the CERN official website, specifically the experiments page and the computing section, as well as Wikipedia for foundational knowledge. The importance of accessing peer-reviewed papers through Google Scholar is emphasized, although the user expressed difficulty navigating the vast amount of information available. Overall, the consensus is to utilize both official CERN resources and general knowledge platforms like Wikipedia for a comprehensive overview.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with academic research methodologies
  • Basic understanding of particle physics concepts
  • Knowledge of computer science applications in research
  • Experience with academic databases like Google Scholar
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore CERN's official computing resources and documentation
  • Read introductory papers on particle physics available on Google Scholar
  • Investigate the latest technologies implemented at CERN through their technology transfer page
  • Review Wikipedia articles related to CERN for a broader context
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for computer science students, researchers interested in the intersection of computing and physics, and anyone looking to understand the technological advancements at CERN.

I have to write a research review for my University and I want to write a review on all the current work being done at CERN. Can someone please recommend a good place to start reading papers for this purpose? I read a couple of papers that I found in google scholar but I quickly got lost. Is there any particular paper that anyone could recommend which can be a good starting point?

PS. I am not a physics student but a computer science one. I don't mind having to go get through a lot of physics/maths eventually but if anyone knows a good place to start which talks about the technology(especially computing) implemented at CERN, that would be really great.
