SUMMARY:MS2H - Toward FAIR and Reproducible Dark Matter Science: Co-Design
  of Data Infrastructure, AI Workflows, and Community Datasets
DESCRIPTION:Access the recording\n\nOrganizer(s): Michela Taufer (Universi
 ty of Tennessee), Amy Roberts (University of Colorado Denver), and Belina 
 von Krosigk (Kirchhoff-Institute for Physics (KIP))\n\nDark matter constit
 utes approximately 85% of the universe's matter, yet its nature remains el
 usive. Direct detection experiments, though globally deployed, have histor
 ically generated data locked within custom formats and non-reproducible so
 ftware stacks — limiting interdisciplinary analysis and innovation. As AI 
 and machine learning become integral to scientific workflows, ensuring dat
 a are FAIR and accompanied by rigorous provenance is essential for reprodu
 cibility and trust. This minisymposium uses dark matter science as a concr
 ete case study in co-designing data infrastructure and AI-ready workflows.
  Centered on the National Science Data Fabric (NSDF) and the SuperCDMS col
 laboration, three talks address this challenge from complementary angles: 
 rethinking data formats and computing using DELight as a testbed for futur
 e experiments; establishing metadata standards that make AI-driven analyse
 s reproducible and auditable; and building an open community dataset by co
 nverting proprietary detector data into accessible, machine-learning-ready
  formats. Together, these case studies show how federated, inclusive data 
 ecosystems broaden participation and strengthen confidence in scientific r
 esults — directly aligned with the PASC26 theme, "Building Trust in Scienc
 e through HPC Co-Design."\n\nDELight as a Testbed: Rethinking Computing, D
 ata Formats, and Workflows for Future Dark Matter Science\n\nDELight is a 
 cryogenic detector experiment designed to probe low-mass dark matter inter
 actions. As a new experiment, it offers an opportunity to rethink data inf
 rastructure and data release plans.  This talk presents DELight as a case 
 study in co-designing modern, open data formats alongside detecto...\n\n\n
