Data compression would be the go-to solution to this issue, but general data formats used for big data and the ROOT data format used at the LHC are already highly compressed, meaning that the data does not compress much under normal loss-less compression methods like zip [[4](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S016890029700048X)]. However, since the observables in these experiments benefit from more events and higher statistics, lossy compression is a good alternative. By using lossy compression some data accuracy is lost, but the compression will allow for the storage of more data which will increase the statistical precision of the final analysis.
