Speaker:

The BaBar experiment at the PEP-II collider at SLAC is using an object database
management system for its primary event store as well as for the storage of calibration and
alignment information. We report on the experience gained since the experiment detected its first
physics event in May 1999. This includes an overview of the software design, the hardware
configuration, the data distribution strategy and a high level discussion of aspects that have
proven to be important for performance and scaling. More detailed discussions of some of the
technical details will be presented in other more focussed papers.
