PHEASANT: PHysicist EASier ANalisys Tool

Quick Links
Overview of PHEASANT project

The Pheasant project aims to be a study of optimization potentials in the High Energy Physics high analysis phase (which means to data mine the produced and reprocessed physics quantities data that doesn't include detector dependent information).

Based on our experience in the Hera-B experiment at DESY we suggest to start our approach by introducing a new abstraction layer, through a visual query language.
