Daniel Jeans improved the reliability of magnetic field mapping in the key4hep/k4geo repository by addressing a systematic error in coordinate transformations for detector simulations. He implemented a fix in C++ using Geant4, ensuring the x and y components of the magnetic field were correctly calculated from Br-Z field maps by applying cos(phi) and sin(phi) to the radial component, respectively. This adjustment aligned the simulation with standard coordinate conventions, reducing potential systematic errors and enhancing calibration fidelity. The work demonstrated careful attention to simulation accuracy and reproducibility, with all changes traceable to a specific commit for future reference and validation.

2025-07 monthly summary: Key reliability improvement in magnetic field mapping within k4geo. Implemented a coordinate transformation fix to magnetic field components (x from cos(phi), y from sin(phi)) ensuring correct extraction from Br-Z field maps and alignment with standard coordinate conventions. This reduces potential systematic errors in detector simulations and enhances calibration fidelity. All work is traceable to commit 709ceaaafba3b11d714388e1890b810fa33df19a (#483).
