March 2025: Delivered a major enhancement to the TPC space-charge correction workflow in the AliceO2 project by introducing voxel-map based inverse corrections. This refactor of TPCFastSpaceChargeCorrection enables inverse corrections using voxel maps, significantly improving the accuracy of space-charge corrections applied to TPC tracks. The change reduces systematic biases in track reconstruction, enabling more precise physics results and cleaner downstream calibration. The update includes a robust initialization of inverse corrections from the inverse voxel map and a rebase to keep the branch clean. While there were no formally logged major bugs fixed this month, the feature lays a stronger foundation for future bug fixes and calibration improvements.
