During July 2025, Jan Kowalski developed automated benchmarks for the Backward Hcal detector in the eic/detector_benchmarks repository, focusing on reproducible performance evaluation in high energy physics. He integrated acceptance testing and basic distribution analysis into a CI/CD pipeline, leveraging Snakemake for workflow management and automation. Using Python, C++, and Shell scripting, Jan created configuration files and simulation workflows that enabled end-to-end analysis across various particle interactions and energy levels. This work established a reliable benchmarking baseline and continuous integration signals, streamlining detector simulation and analysis. The depth of automation improved feedback cycles and reproducibility for detector performance assessment.

Implemented automated benchmarks for the Backward Hcal detector, with CI/CD integration to streamline performance evaluation. This includes acceptance testing and basic distribution analysis, plus Snakemake-driven workflows and configuration files to automate simulation and analysis across particle interactions and energy levels, enabling reproducible benchmarking and faster feedback.
