Paul Granger focused on reliability and configuration management across the DUNE/dunesim and DUNE/MaCh3_DUNE repositories, addressing three critical bugs over two months. He corrected active volume ordering and fiducial cut handling in C++ for dunesim, ensuring simulation boundaries aligned with analysis criteria and improving downstream reproducibility. In MaCh3_DUNE, he stabilized builds by refining CMake build system configuration and improved data representation in StructsDUNE.h, while also updating YAML configuration to handle baseline uncertainty more accurately. His work demonstrated careful attention to build stability, data integrity, and traceability, leveraging C++, CMake, and YAML to enhance simulation reliability and auditability.
December 2024 — DUNE/MaCh3_DUNE: No new user-facing features delivered. Focused on reliability and analysis readiness through two critical bug fixes. Key results include: 1) Build stability and correct data representation for a mode in StructsDUNE.h via CMakeLists.txt adjustments; 2) Baseline uncertainty handling adjustment in OscCov_PDG2021_v2.yaml by updating the Detector ID's Error parameter. Commits: c2b836f17bf86d6a71abe28bef97dcb2aaf1e81e (Minor fixes); b87f651b7f45747ec633ecea0e52064ea410f467 (No prior on baseline). Impact: more reliable builds, accurate data representation, and improved downstream analyses; enhanced reproducibility and auditability through explicit commits. Technologies/skills demonstrated: CMake/build configuration, C++, data representation discipline, YAML configuration, and version control.
