The Photon and Neutron Open Science Cloud (PaNOSC)
The Photon and Neutron Open Science Cloud (PaNOSC) is a European project for making FAIR data a reality in 6 European Research Infrastructures (RIs), developing and providing services for scientific data and connecting these to the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC).
Objectives
- Participate in the construction of the EOSC by linking with the e-infrastructures and other ESFRI clusters.
- Make scientific data produced at Europe’s major Photon and Neutron sources fully compatible with the FAIR principles.
- Generalise the adoption of open data policies, standard metadata and data stewardship from 15 photon and neutron RIs and physics institutes across Europe
- Provide innovative data services to the users of these facilities locally and the scientific community at large via the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC).
- Increase the impact of RIs by ensuring data from user experiments can be used beyond the initial scope.
- Share the outcomes with the national RIs who are observers in the proposal and the community at large to promote the adoption of FAIR data principles, data stewardship and the EOSC.

Interview with Axel Bocciarelli and Loïc Huder on H5Web
H5Web is a web tool to easily browse, inspect and visualise data in HDF5 files, which has been integrated in the ESRF’s data portal. Using a web technology such as H5Web means that users don’t have to download heavy HDF5 files to their machines when running code on remote servers. The viewer runs in JupyterLab […]

OASYS tutorial at the Hercules School
An OASYS hands-on tutorial for simulating propagation of X-rays along beamline optics was held in March 15 and 17 2022, in the context of the European HERCULES school. This year, for the first time, the tutorial used the infrastructure set by the PaNOSC project. Students accessed the course material in the pan-learning.org platform, which aims […]

Use Case 30 - VISA - Data Analysis in the Cloud
With the introduction of VISA (Virtual Infrastructure for Scientific Analysis) in June 2020, there has been a significant change with how scientists analyse experimental data and perform experiments at the ILL. Using a web browser, within a couple of minutes, a researcher can get access to a high-performance and secure data analysis environment, installed with […]

Use Case 29 – Run orange-pylost as a cloud service
Orange-pylost is a new open-source software developed for providing data analysis tools for surface optical metrology. The software is widely used by ESRF and many other European light sources for analysis of X-ray mirror metrology data, especially for the subaperture-stitching methods implemented in the software. A cloud version of the software would expand its reach […]

Use Case 28 - Online visualisation, exploration and analysis of HDF5 files with h5nuvola
HDF5 is a de-facto standard for storage of heterogeneous, n-dimensional scientific data. It is portable, without vendor lock-in, self-describing thanks to included metadata, with libraries in different languages. It offers high I/O performance, optimised for both time and storage. One of the disadvantages of this format is the need for specialised applications to work with […]
