RESURX: A computer-assisted human intervention system for high-energy physics data reduction

N. D. Pewitt, S. Hagopian, V. Hagopian, B. Wind · Review of Scientific Instruments · 1976

A system, RESURX, which is inexpensive to implement, has been developed and used to increase the efficiency of an automatic data processing system of a large experiment in a bubble chamber. The system includes a storage display CRT either connected to a dedicated small computer or as a time-sharing terminal of a large computer. Human intervention is accomplished by commands entered via the CRT keyboard. The RESURX system computer codes, written almost completely in FORTRAN, are modular in nature, transportable, and easily modified as a diagnostic or production tool for other applications which involve digitized trajectories. The design of the system and processing results are presented.
