RE: Citizen science on Hive - The first ever calculation of same-sign di-muon total rates at the LHC run 3!

I actually have a plan of concluding the report today. However, power supply has hampered my plan. Maybe it will be restored later today though. Let's see what will happen. I've got a couple of questions but cant even ask now until I open my pc.

Good luck with electricity! This is indeed a problem for that kind of work that requires some computing power.

Are we talking about folding @ home style stuff here??

Not really. The idea is that anyone runs code, produces data and analyses it (and thus understands what they do). Everyone is thus acting as any professional researcher would do.

In the "[@]home paradigm", I think (I am unsure as I never checked this out) that people only provide computing power to research, and never do any computation by themselves.
