Open Cosmics CDF Use Case OC-UC-002

(NB: All names/numbering/etc temporary for the purposes of drafting!)

Summary

This document presents an example use case for the Open Cosmics Common Data Format (CDF). Generally speaking, these use cases should help establish what the CDF needs to contain to be useful for scientific analysis across cosmic ray projects.

The Use Case

  • A user from an OC project has detected a change in cosmic ray flux over a period of time t_hours, on t_day.
  • The user wishes to check if any other detectors in the Open Cosmics Collaboration recorded any anomalous flux readings, 1) during the window of t_hours from t_day and 2) during the period at which they occupied the same/equivalent outward facing orientation towards the solar system (t_hours +/-12).
  • The user wishes to receive a list of data points containing:
    • The location of all detectors in the network;
    • The average lifetime/period time (1 year?) adjusted flux at those detectors,
    • The flux, per hour or per minute, during the defined period

in such a format that they may be plotted on some form of open graphing software.

Discussion

  • This is a very, very basic use case to get things going.
  • What requirements should there be on the resolution in time and space?
  • Should we have a way of indicating resolution on the data output by the query?
  • How do we work out when a detector was looking 'the same way' out into the cosmos?
