In June 2025, Eric Chenard developed and integrated a Bertini Photonuclear Interaction Model into the SimCore library within the LDMX-Software/ldmx-sw repository. Using C++, Geant4 simulation, and Python, he engineered a feature that simulates photonuclear events with precise control, enabling the selection of exactly N hard particles above a specified energy threshold and filtering by PDG ID. This approach allows targeted studies of particle production scenarios and enhances the realism of physics modeling in simulation workflows. The work demonstrated depth in both physics modeling and software integration, providing a robust tool for controlled, high-fidelity event generation in research applications.
June 2025 — Delivered a Bertini Photonuclear Interaction Model integrated into the SimCore library (LDMX-Software/ldmx-sw), enabling exact N-hard-particle photonuclear events with PDG ID filtering and energy-threshold selection. This feature supports precise targeted production studies and improves physics realism in simulations. Change tracked by commit d1df6f057ae7fb52560899488b22448bd9afc727 ("Add Bertini model for N hard particles", #1722).
