Yazhenlin

Yalin contributed to the AliceO2Group/O2Physics repository by developing and enhancing analysis modules for high energy and particle physics studies. Over five months, Yalin built features such as the energy correlator analysis module, extending it with new histograms, configuration options, and robust event selection logic. Using C++ and scientific computing techniques, Yalin improved data filtering to increase result reliability and maintainability, refining algorithms to process only relevant physical particles. The work included debugging complex analysis workflows, optimizing code for performance, and aligning Pb-Pb and pp analysis paths, resulting in more accurate, configurable, and production-ready physics analysis pipelines.

February 2026 (AliceO2Group/O2Physics): Delivered a critical data-quality improvement for energy correlator analysis by refining data filtering to process only physical primary particles and exclude tracks with specific mother particles. This enhancement reduces contamination in the energy correlator study, increases result reliability, and improves the signal-to-noise ratio for physics conclusions. All changes are traceable to commit c0362746436fce97586ea5dce33898644902fdd1 and PR [PWGDQ] Change some code for the energy correlator study (#15114).
