National High Energy Physics Science Data Center
Short description
The National High Energy Physics Science Data Center (NHEPSDC) is a national data infrastructure supporting research in high-energy physics and related fields. It was designated a national scientific data center by the Ministry of Science and Technology in 2019 and is operated by the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
The center provides services for data collection, archiving, preservation, analysis, and sharing. It manages large datasets produced by major scientific facilities and research projects, with data growth averaging about 10 PB per year.

Video tutorial
Illustrated documentation is provided to explain how to locate datasets within the repository and request access from data providers.
Access notes
Datasets are listed in thematic databases but usually cannot be downloaded directly from the platform interface. Instead, users must contact the respective data provider to request access to the datasets.
Repository overview
The NHEPSDC stores both raw experimental data from large scientific facilities and generic datasets from scientific research projects. It operates advanced infrastructure including hierarchical storage systems, high-performance computing resources, and high-bandwidth research networks.
The repository supports scientific research in particle physics and astrophysics by providing large-scale datasets and data analysis services.
