PROFILE
Nida Malik
Nida Malik developed and enhanced net charge fluctuations analysis features within the AliceO2Group/O2Physics repository, focusing on robust, physics-driven data workflows. She implemented new C++ modules for histogram-based analytics, including Monte Carlo simulation support, charge-dependent efficiency corrections, and delta eta–centrality correlation studies. Her work integrated CCDB-driven efficiency data, refined event and track selection logic, and introduced error estimation via subsampling, all while maintaining compliance with PWGCF standards. Leveraging C++, ROOT, and CMake, Nida’s contributions improved analysis accuracy, reproducibility, and configurability, enabling more reliable physics validation and streamlined integration of advanced data analysis techniques into the O2Physics framework.

Oct 1, 2025Monthly summary for Oct 2025 (AliceO2Group/O2Physics): Delivered enhancements to multiplicity analysis and event selection controls to improve robustness and reliability of physics results. Implemented updated polynomial fitting for multiplicity correlation plots (cfgMultGlobalPVCutPars) and new TF1 controls (fMultGlobalPVCutLow/high), along with refined configuration options for pileup rejection and vertex/multiplicity cuts to enable more robust outlier handling. These changes reduce analysis systematics from outliers and provide analysts with more configurable, production-grade controls for multiplicity analyses.
