In June 2025, Eric Chenard developed and integrated a Bertini Photonuclear Interaction Model into the SimCore library within the LDMX-Software/ldmx-sw repository. His work focused on enabling simulation of photonuclear events that produce exactly N hard particles, filtered by PDG ID and energy threshold, supporting targeted particle production studies with enhanced physics realism. Using C++, Geant4 simulation, and Python, Eric implemented event selection logic that allows researchers to specify both the number and type of particles generated in each event. This feature addressed the need for precise control in simulation scenarios, reflecting a deep understanding of physics modeling and software integration.

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).
