HEP Physics. With the onset of data production from the LHC project at CERN likely to take place within the lifetime of the EGEE I3, Particle Physics has a clear need to take advantage of the EGEE infrastructure as quickly as possible. We have already shown the applicability of the Grid to meet the user requirements of this area of science – however, to date a robust infrastructure, suited to real data production has been lacking. EGEE will provide this environment, and we will build on the existing applications work undertaken by DataGrid and other Grid projects to ensure applications are available for this community in the early stages of the EGEE infrastructure roll-out. This work will be led by a team at CERN who are already deeply committed to the use of the Grid for LHC experiment applications. Very large benefits will derive from the complementarity of EGEE and of LCG, the mission-oriented LHC Computing Grid project (LCG), coordinated by CERN and involving the worldwide HEP community participating in the LHC experiments.
