The MAUS project is developing software for analysing a new neutrino source, which will be built in the UK. The Institute's Mike Jackson has been helping MAUS to develop online data quality, which will allow physicists to assess the quality of their data in real time.

A live, end-to-end run of all the components Mike has helped to develop has just been completed. The software takes data from neutrino sensors, processes it using Celery workers, stores it in a MongoDB document-oriented database, and converts the data into a histogram that is displayed via a Django web interface.

It sounds like a lot of work for a histogram, but it's an important histogram!
