At present, particle physics experiments are developing in two directions: one is to design and build more powerful accelerators to achieve particle collisions with higher energy, to open up new research areas; the other is to design and build detectors with superior performance to achieve higher-precision measurements for the accurate verification of the Standard Model. Typical examples are the LHC at CERN and China's BEPC-II. The development of both directions requires greater investment of manpower and financial resources. It also forces particle physics experiments to form two significant characteristics: absolute success and extreme difficulty in repetition. The application software and intensive computing are the main technical guarantees for the feasibility and successful operation of these experiment programs. The application software refers to Monte Carlo simulation, calibration, reconstruction, and physical analysis tools used during physics studies. The main research directions of our laboratory regarding the software and computing techniques include the following three aspects:
(1) Monte Carlo simulation
(2) Intensive computing techniques
(3) Design and development of offline data processing software
