May 2025 monthly summary: Focused improvements across two repositories to stabilize builds and enhance analysis capabilities. In sbncode, fixed header include and build consistency issues by replacing direct .cc includes with header references and correcting header extensions (.h to .hh) in TrackCaloSkimmer.h and related CRTHit tagging infos, preventing build failures and reducing maintenance costs. In icaruscode, tuned the CRT Tagging algorithm for CAF-level flexibility by extending maximum candidate distance to 300 cm and introducing East/West Cryos-specific cuts, enabling analysts to select more flexible, robust tag candidates. The changes reduce build-time issues, improve tagging robustness, and empower analysts with more configurable options. Demonstrates strong cross-repo collaboration, code hygiene, and parameter-tuning skills. Technologies involved: C++, header management, build-system hygiene, FCL parameter tuning, and tagging algorithms.

April 2025 monthly highlights across SBNSoftware repositories with a focus on delivering features, fixing critical bugs, and strengthening code quality and maintainability across sbnobj, sbncode, and icaruscode.

March 2025 monthly summary for SBNSoftware development across ICARUS SBND stack. The work focused on enabling precise CRT-TPC track tagging, improving data products, and aligning configurations with standard analysis modules, delivering tangible improvements in physics performance and software maintainability. Key features delivered - SBNSoftware/icaruscode - CRT-TPC Matching via CRTT0Tagging: introduced the CRTT0Tagging module to replace obsolete code, moved legacy components to a CRTLegacyCode folder, and updated calibration ntuples to test the TrackCaloskimmer with CRT-tagged tracks. This tightens the association between CRT hits and TPC tracks, enabling more accurate track reconstruction. - Streamlined analysis module configuration: renamed the test analysis chain to icarus_analysis_modules_nolight and updated calibntupler_icarus.fcl to use the standard icarus_analysis_modules, removing obsolete test configurations and aligning with the production module set. - SBNSoftware/sbnobj - CRTHit Tagging Data Products and CRT-Tagged Tracks in TrackCaloSkimmerObj: added CRTHitT0TaggingInfo and CRTHitT0TaggingTruthInfo data products and extended TrackCaloSkimmerObj to store multiple T0 values and track direction for CRT-tagged tracks, enhancing track-level timing fidelity. - SBNSoftware/sbncode - Track tagging with CRT hit T0 timing data: enabled CRTHitT0 tagging tracks with new configuration options and logic, supporting both ICARUS and SBND, and improving the precision of track characterization. Major bugs fixed / technical debt addressed - Code cleanup and stabilization: removed obsolete CRT code and rehomed it under CRTLegacyCode; eliminated a test-only analysis chain, reducing misconfiguration risk and build/test fragility. Overall impact and accomplishments - Improved cross-detector CRT tagging capability and data products, enabling more precise physics analyses and reducing analysis bias. - Enhanced maintainability and consistency across repositories, setting a solid foundation for future CRT-assisted analyses and detector-specific workflows. Technologies and skills demonstrated - CRT tagging architecture, T0 timing integration, new data product design, TrackCaloSkimmerObj extension, and module/configuration hygiene across a multi-repo codebase. - Collaboration across icaruscode, sbnobj, and sbncode to harmonize tagging approaches and data formats.
