Ross Tom contributed to the sPHENIX-Collaboration/analysis repository by developing two core features over two months. He built the TagAndProbe Data Analysis Module, establishing an end-to-end pipeline for track-based physics studies using C++ and the ROOT Framework, with a modular design that supports kinematic selections and invariant mass fitting. Later, he implemented Lambdapi Particle Reconstruction Using List Files, enabling robust reconstruction workflows for new particle types with configurable parameters and batch processing support. Throughout, Ross applied C++ programming and bash scripting to create reusable, collaboration-ready modules that streamline data analysis and facilitate reproducible, efficient research in particle physics.
April 2026 monthly summary for sPHENIX-Collaboration/analysis: Delivered Lambdapi Particle Reconstruction Using List Files, enabling reconstruction of Lambdapi particles from list files with robust input management, parameterization, and output directory handling. The feature lays groundwork for batch processing and reproducible workflows by encapsulating reconstruction logic for a new particle type within the repository.
