The LHCb collaboration is happy to announce the official release of the [LHCb
2+
Ntupling Service](https://opendata-lhcb-ntupling-service.app.cern.ch/): a web
3+
service for on-demand production and publishing of custom LHCb open data. This
4+
provides the public access to both Run I, and for the first time, Run II pp
5+
data collected by LHCb. This amounts to over 4 PB of data to explore! The image
6+
displays an event recorded during Run II.

This follows the release of the full [Run I pp data on the CERN Open Data
15+
Portal](/docs/lhcb-releases-entire-run1-dataset) in December 2023. While for
16+
the previous release, knowledge of the LHCb software stack was necessary for
17+
subsequent analysis of the released data, this is no longer the case for users
18+
of the LHCb Ntupling Service. Instead, custom ntuples are produced containing a
19+
collection of physics objects and quantities based on user specifications. The
20+
Ntupling Service serves as an all in one place for users to request custom
21+
ntuples with LHCb data, track the request process, communicate with the LHCb
22+
open data team, and download the resulting ntuples.
23+
24+
During the ntuple creation step, users interact with the [LHCb Ntuple
25+
Wizard](https://inspirehep.net/literature/2637214), providing an intuitive
26+
step-by-step process for specifying their ntuple configuration. This process
27+
consists of (1) selecting a physics object of interest, (2) choosing a
28+
corresponding dataset, and (3) specifying the configuration of the
29+
corresponding ntuples.
30+
31+
This release marks a significant advancement in the LHCb open data
32+
infrastructure, and is an exciting step for the larger open data community,
33+
where the barrier for entry of data analysis is lowered without the need for
34+
any experiment specific software. The release is accompanied by a growing
35+
[usage guide](https://lhcb-opendata-guide.web.cern.ch/ntupling-service/) with
36+
a detailed walkthrough for request submission and tracking, in addition to
37+
analysis example workflows with the resulting ntuples.
38+
39+
This work was carried out through the [Data Processing & Analysis
40+
project](https://lhcb-dpa.web.cern.ch/lhcb-dpa/) of LHCb in collaboration with
41+
[CERN’s Information Technology
42+
Department](https://information-technology.web.cern.ch/). The LHCb
43+
collaboration would like to thank the CERN Information Technology Department
44+
for co-designing, co-developing and co-operating the new service.
