The Physics Applications Software (PAS) Group in the BNL Physics Department performs physics applications software development for the BNL HEP program and in particular the ATLAS experiment. The group plays leading roles in the U.S. ATLAS software project and the ATLAS software project; contributes to the detector development and physics analysis activities of BNL ATLAS; provides software support and expertise for the U.S. ATLAS community, complementing the U.S. ATLAS Tier 1 Computing Facility at BNL; and collaborates with wider software projects such as the newly funded (Sep 2006) Open Science Grid (OSG).
