Pavel Larionov developed advanced detector geometry features for the AliceO2Group/AliceO2 repository, focusing on the ALICE 3 experiment. Over four months, he refactored the IRIS tracker geometry, introduced configurable layouts for the Vertex Detector, and implemented new geometry options such as cylindrical and inclined wall designs. Using C++ and leveraging skills in geometric modeling and simulation development, Pavel removed deprecated components to streamline code and improve maintainability. His work emphasized modularity, configurability, and compatibility with ACTS integration, enabling more accurate and reproducible simulations. These contributions enhanced the codebase’s clarity, reduced technical debt, and supported future experimental prototyping and validation.
Concise monthly summary for 2026-03 focused on delivering features and stabilizing geometry handling for ALICE3 simulations in AliceO2. Highlights include delivering a new IRIS geometry option with inclined walls, fixing circular geometry handling, and removing Z caps from the vacuum volume to improve simulation accuracy and performance. Coordination with ACTS integration to ensure compatibility and correctness in full cylinder construction.
