In April 2025, jvmead enhanced the DUNE/ndlar_flow repository by developing a peak-based hit finding feature using Python, with a focus on algorithm development and signal processing. The work involved refactoring the hit detection logic to identify signal maxima, or peaks, rather than relying on rising-edge detection, and introduced configurable parameters for peak detection methods. This approach improved the accuracy of hit localization by returning peak bin indices, which supports higher-quality downstream data analysis and calibration. The implementation emphasized maintainability and traceability, providing a robust foundation for future optimizations while addressing the specific needs of detector data workflows.

April 2025 Highlights: Completed a peak-based hit finding enhancement for DUNE/ndlar_flow, refactoring the hit detection to identify signal maxima (peaks) rather than relying on rising-edge detection. The enhancement introduces configurable peak detection methods and returns peak bin indices, enabling more accurate hit localization and higher-quality downstream analyses. This work improves data quality, reduces misidentified hits, and provides a robust foundation for future performance optimizations and detector calibrations. The change was implemented with careful consideration of maintainability and traceability, as evidenced by the commit 355ec2f973b6bd756a47dc6c7b0d8f49a3d4d077.
