Another FTS user: the MAGIC (Major Atmospheric Gamma-ray Imaging Cherenkov Telescope) collaboration. The MAGIC-II experiment consists of a system of two Imaging Cherenkov Telescopes located on the Canary Island La Palma, Spain. They have been designed to study the universe and discover new Gamma-ray sources in the energy range from 50 GeV to 5 TeV. These telescopes have a 17 m diameter reflector, being the largest Cherenkov telescopes in the world, and will be operated in stereoscopic mode for an enhanced sensitivity.
The MAGIC data center hosted by the Port d'Informaci— Cient’fica (PIC) in Barcelona is migrating its services to Grid as part of an upgrade needed to deal with the increased data volume. After migrating the data to a Grid filesystem, they have ported FTS. In the last months they set up an SRM endpoint in the observation site and ported all the data transfer tools to use Grid file transfers.
