# The Scikit-HEP Project

## TL;DR

The Scikit-HEP project aims to develop a comprehensive Python toolkit for particle physics analysis, fostering community collaboration and integrating core analysis tools across experiments.

## Contribution

It introduces a unified, community-driven Python library that consolidates key particle physics analysis tools inspired by scikit-learn and Astropy.

## Key findings

- Development of core analysis tools for datasets, modeling, and visualization.
- Community engagement across multiple experiments.
- Improved discoverability and usability of analysis tools.

## Abstract

The Scikit-HEP project is a community-driven and community-oriented effort with the aim of providing Particle Physics at large with a Python scientific toolset containing core and common tools. The project builds on five pillars that embrace the major topics involved in a physicist's analysis work: datasets, data aggregations, modelling, simulation and visualisation. The vision is to build a user and developer community engaging collaboration across experiments, to emulate scikit-learn's unified interface with Astropy's embrace of third-party packages, and to improve discoverability of relevant tools.
