During October 2025, 4rx focused on enhancing direct beam selection in the neutrons/quicknxs repository by delivering a feature that refactored the matching process to use Euclidean distance for slit width comparison when wavelengths align. This work introduced the Instrument.direct_beam_distance attribute and updated the DataManager to prioritize experimental runs with matching wavelengths and minimal slit width differences, thereby improving the accuracy and robustness of direct beam identification. The implementation, developed in Python and leveraging skills in algorithm refinement and data handling, addressed the need for more reliable experiment planning and reduced the likelihood of post-processing corrections in neutron scattering workflows.
