The data comes in two types and is available on the CERN Open Data Portal.
The primary datasets are in the same format used by the collaboration to perform research.
Simulations play an important role in particle physics research.
The data release is complemented by analysis tools and code examples custom-made to the datasets.
The benefits are numerous, from inspiring high school students to the training of the particle physicists of tomorrow.
The previous release of research data had already exhibited the scope of open LHC data.
This bloomed into a productive association between the theorists and CMS.
We are very pleased that we can make all these data publicly available, adds Lassila-Perini.
This is only the latest of several data dumps, but its also by far the largest.
A more detailed explanation of the types of data and how they can be accessed isright here.
