During July 2025, Lars Althueser developed rotated 2D map interpolation support for the XENONnT/straxen repository, addressing the challenge of accurate data interpolation across rotated coordinate frames. He introduced a new 'rotated' option within the InterpolateAndExtrapolate and InterpolatingMap modules, implementing a Linear1Din2D strategy that combines linear interpolation along one axis with nearest-neighbor selection on the other. Using Python and leveraging expertise in coordinate systems and scientific computing, Lars’s work reduced manual preprocessing and improved calibration fidelity. This feature enhanced downstream data analyses and event reconstruction, demonstrating a focused and technically deep contribution to scientific data workflows.

July 2025 monthly summary for XENONnT/straxen focusing on feature delivery and technical excellence. The key feature delivered this month was rotated 2D map interpolation support, enabling accurate interpolation across rotated coordinate frames and improving downstream data analyses. Business value includes reduced manual preprocessing, higher fidelity in calibration and event reconstruction, and smoother research workflows across rotated geometries. Technical achievements include introducing a new 'rotated' option in InterpolateAndExtrapolate and InterpolatingMap, implementing Linear1Din2D interpolation for 2D maps with one axis interpolated and the other using nearest-neighbor selection, and linking the change to the commit 022521bbedf9d2cba6622e9df633d5082ab9047b (Rotated map interpolation (#1349)).
