Jiangyang Yang contributed to the DUNE/larnd-sim repository by developing and integrating data-driven simulation features focused on pixel pad response modeling. Over three months, Jiangyang implemented Python scripts and C++ workflows to simulate Field-Structured Drift responses with configurable parameters, enhancing the flexibility and reproducibility of detector simulations. He restructured response data formats to improve traceability and incorporated new binary and pre-computed datasets, such as 2mm and 3.72mm pixel pad responses, directly into the simulation pipeline. This work improved simulation fidelity, streamlined onboarding for researchers, and established a robust foundation for future parameter studies and validation against experimental data.

Month: 2025-03 — Key features and accomplishments for DUNE/larnd-sim centered on FSD Response Simulation Tool and data-structure enhancements. Implemented a Python script to simulate Field-Structured Drift (FSD) response with configurable drift length and time_tick. Updated drift_length parameters across configurations and restructured response data to include explicit drift_length and time_tick fields, with the original response data nested for traceability. No major bugs fixed this month. Overall impact: improved modeling fidelity and reproducibility, enabling configurable experiments and easier downstream analyses. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Python scripting, data modeling, configuration-driven development, version control.

December 2024 monthly summary for DUNE/larnd-sim: Focused on expanding dataset support by integrating new FsD v2d response data assets. No code changes were required; added binary data files for a 3.72 mm pitch pixel and 50 ns time tick, enabling immediate use of the latest FsD v2d dataset in simulations and validation. This work reduces integration friction, enhances data fidelity, and accelerates research workflows.
