Worked on JeffersonLab/coatjava to deliver a series of targeted enhancements to Kalman filter–based track reconstruction and detector simulation over five months. Focused on improving trajectory accuracy, hit positioning, and data quality, the work included stereo angle corrections, left-right hit disambiguation, and robust handling of simulation flags and vertex constraints. Leveraged C++, Java, and advanced geometry calculations to refactor core components, streamline debugging, and enable more flexible track finding algorithms. These contributions improved reproducibility, reduced systematic uncertainties, and provided detailed particle trajectory information, establishing a more reliable foundation for physics analysis and future detector-level improvements within the repository.

May 1, 2025Concise monthly summary for 2025-05 focusing on JeffersonLab/coatjava. Delivered substantial improvements to the AHDC Kalman filter to enhance trajectory reconstruction and data quality for AHDC-based analyses. Implemented track path calculations and momentum at AHDC exit, added dE/dx estimates, and refactored KFitter usage for clarity. Introduced a new KFitter setup to improve accuracy of path and residual calculations, enabling more detailed particle trajectory information within AHDC. These changes streamline physics analyses, reduce post-processing effort, and establish a foundation for further detector-level enhancements.

Apr 1, 2025April 2025 monthly summary for JeffersonLab/coatjava: Focused on enhancing robustness of AHDC track reconstruction within the Kalman filter. Implemented looping over all track candidates (not just the first) to improve accuracy, refined simulation flag handling, and ensured vertex constraint is properly initialized and managed to avoid nonsensical values and missing MC bank fetches when unavailable. These changes address issue #553 and contribute to more reliable AHDC operation in production and simulation.
