Building a Distributed Software Environment for the Experiment CDF at UCL Utilising a Switched Light Path

The amount of data produced in high energy experiments like CDF (Collider Detector at FNAL (Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory)) [1] requires to distribute the computing and the data for the scientists analysing data of the experiments. Often remote computing resources are shared throughout several high energy experiments, although the underlying grid software differs from experiment to experiment. Here the situation is described for the computing set up at UCL (University College London) for both the local users and all users for the experiment CDF. Grid software and techniques developed for the CDF experiment are used and a dedicated switched light path between FNAL and UCL is utilised.
