Jaeyoon Cho contributed to the AliceO2Group/O2Physics repository by developing and enhancing data analysis features for particle physics workflows. Over three months, he expanded the PWGHF analysis framework by adding DCA variables and invariant mass calculations, enriching machine learning data pipelines, and introducing a DecayLengthMcGen column to improve signal discrimination in XicToXiPiPi studies. He addressed workflow stability by fixing a critical typo and implemented robust handling for machine learning probability vectors, reducing runtime errors. Working primarily in C++ and leveraging ROOT, Jaeyoon demonstrated depth in data processing, feature engineering, and workflow management, delivering maintainable solutions for complex physics analyses.

2025-08: Delivered XicToXiPiPi Decay Length Analysis Extension in AliceO2Group/O2Physics, adding a new DecayLengthMcGen column to store the decay length of generated particles for non-prompt charm hadrons originating from b quarks. This enriches the XicToXiPiPi analysis with richer decay information, enabling improved signal/background discrimination and more precise physics measurements. Implemented as part of commit cf8b32d953b1962abf45b8a68610768885d3539f ("[PWGHF] XicToXiPiPi: Add DecayLengthMcGen column"), linked to PR #12627.

February 2025 monthly summary for AliceO2Group/O2Physics: Implemented a stability improvement in the ML probability vector handling within the task workflow. Added a size check to prevent out-of-bounds access and ensured outputFD is assigned only when the score vector contains exactly 3 elements. These changes reduce the risk of runtime crashes and incorrect outputs in production ML inference paths, improving reliability of physics data processing pipelines.
