PROFILE

Mark Dalton

Dalton contributed to JeffersonLab/halld_recon by developing and enhancing monitoring and visualization systems for physics data analysis. Over two months, Dalton implemented new C++ macros and plugins to improve helicity asymmetry monitoring, added robust handling for missing histograms, and refined plotting for FCAL occupancy and vertex distributions. Using C++ and ROOT, Dalton introduced 2D histograms for vertex positions and improved the reliability of live dashboards, enabling faster anomaly detection and clearer operator insights. The work demonstrated depth in scientific computing and data visualization, resulting in more resilient monitoring tools and higher data quality for production workflows in experimental physics environments.

July 2025: Delivered enhanced vertex monitoring visualization in JeffersonLab/halld_recon. Implemented new 2D histograms for vertex position (X-Z, Y-Z), refined the Z-vertex histogram, updated the canvas layout to accommodate the new plots, and tightened fill logic in the Process function to populate histograms with more specific vertex data. These changes improve online monitoring, data quality, and the speed of insights for target-vertex analyses.
