Month: 2026-03 — Stabilized the Quality Control (QC) data path amidst architectural changes in the O2DPG project. Delivered a critical configuration alignment fix that updates online QC configuration names to reflect the updated system architecture, ensuring correct data flow and seamless integration with QC components. This work reduces configuration drift, minimizes risk of misrouting in the QC pipeline, and improves maintainability as the architecture evolves.

November 2025—Delivered FT0 aging monitoring post-processing for QualityControl, introducing amplitude normalization and detailed histograms to improve aging-trend analysis. The feature enhances cross-run comparability and supports faster diagnostics in laser run data. Implemented under AFIT-37 ([FIT] #2620) with commit 5aa83556a04bbef46057b5f80419ad03a2e180ea. Impact includes improved data quality, better visualization, and a foundation for future aging analytics.

June 2025 — AliceO2Group/O2DPG: Implemented Monte Carlo digitizer configuration update for FIT aligned to the 2024 run period. Adjusted ADC channels per MIP for FT0 and FV0 based on run-number ranges. The changes are temporary until CCDB configurations are available. Documentation and commit tracing prepared to support CCDB migration and future audits. Impact: improved MC realism for 2024 data and a clean path to CCDB integration.

May 2025 monthly summary – AliceO2Group/QualityControl. Key deliverables: FT0 Detector MIP Peak Quality Control feature delivered via a MIPCheck class that performs Gaussian fits on channel amplitude spectra to extract MIP peak parameters, enabling automated monitoring of detector response. PostProcTask updated to emit new histograms for channel amplitude analysis, strengthening data quality assessment and calibration workflows. Impact: automated QA reduces manual inspection, accelerates calibration, and improves data reliability for downstream analyses. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Gaussian fitting and spectral analysis in ROOT/C++ with histogram-based QA instrumentation; integration with existing QA/post-processing pipeline; commit reference [AFIT-109] Add MIP peak monitoring for FT0 (#2552).

April 2025: Focused on enabling Monte Carlo analysis quality control (aQC) for FV0 and FDD components in the O2DPG project. Delivered the scaffolding for the aQC workflow with QC finalization steps for FV0 digits and FDD reconstruction points, setting the stage for full aQC functionality in a subsequent PR.

March 2025 performance summary for AliceO2Group/AliceO2 focused on geometry alignment macro enhancements for FT0 and FV0.
