This project aims to add support for real-time lossless compression libraries and algorithms in the data acquisition system that is being used for the FASER experiment, to reduce storage costs. This would be done after thorough exploration and experimentation, identifying suitable compression libraries which can be integrated seamlessly into the system. Detailed documentation of the entire process and support for the decompression of compressed data (for physics analysis) will also be provided.
