Improvement of High Energy Physics data processing in the TOTEM experiment at CERN through the integration and development of database software and creation of web user interface for accessing the experiment's database

TOTEM Offline Database Access Console (TODAC) is a database software that improves the process of data acquisition and processing in the TOTEM experiment at CERN. The aim of the project was to build a command-line and web access console for the existing TOTEM database, which will be used by scientists to browse, store or retrieve the data. Constructed software is integrated with existing systems for database manipulation and allows to enhance the data processing in the TOTEM experiment. TODAC consists of few independent applications (for each kind of measurements relevant for the TOTEM experiment) with a unified command-line and web interface. Each application acquires data sets corresponding to the parameters specified by user (with usage of CASTOR, LHC Logging Database or provided input files), transforms them into appropriate for the database format and populates the database with them.
