During December 2024, Chiara Zampolli focused on stabilizing TOF track propagation in the AliceO2Group/AliceO2 repository, addressing time alignment issues in Monte Carlo simulations for PbPb 2024. She reintroduced the 'dy' parameter within TOF match structures and propagation logic in MatchTOF.cxx, unifying calibration and production datasets beyond apass1. By carefully reverting and reapplying related commits, she ensured consistent TOF timing across datasets, improving data and MC agreement and reducing systematic uncertainties. Her work demonstrated depth in C++ development, data reconstruction, and detector simulation, with disciplined commit management that enhanced reproducibility and supported readiness for upcoming PbPb runs.

December 2024 monthly summary for AliceO2Group/AliceO2 focusing on TOF time alignment in MC for PbPb 2024. Delivered a targeted bug fix that stabilizes TOF track propagation by reintroducing the 'dy' parameter in TOF match structures and propagation logic (MatchInfoTOF/MatchInfoTOFReco) within MatchTOF.cxx. This unifies PbPb 2024 calibration and production datasets beyond apass1, aligning TOF times in MC simulations across datasets and improving data/MC agreement. Maintained clear commit traceability by coordinating two revert/reapply commits to correct the propagation behavior and ensured readiness for upcoming PbPb runs. Key achievements include:
