Month: 2026-05 — Key feature delivery in eic/EICrecon focused on MPGD clustering fidelity and multi-hit handling. Implemented MultiSensitiveMPGD: Multi-hit cluster support, expanding the clustering capability within MultiSensitiveMPGD to improve digitization and simulation of multi-hit MPGD signals. The work is documented by commit 0b0e0ed664240dfb9c21827f3891af73aca94d12 and linked to PRs #2177 and #2264. The change is non-breaking by default, with explicit compatibility notes for users loading MPGD XMLs from Multi-SensitiveVolume-MPGD or using -PMPGD:SiFactoryPattern != 3. Co-authored contributions reflect collaboration across the team. Major bugs fixed: No explicit critical bug fixes documented for this repo in May 2026; effort focused on feature delivery and integration. Overall impact and accomplishments: Enhanced realism of MPGD data reconstruction, enabling more accurate physics analyses and smoother downstream workflows. Strengthened collaboration through coordinated commits and cross-review. Technologies/skills demonstrated: C++ development, MPGD digitization and clustering, version control and PR integration, multi-author collaboration, and documentation of compatibility considerations.

Concise monthly summary for 2026-03 focusing on key accomplishments, major bug fixes, and business impact for eic/EICrecon.

February 2026 monthly summary for eic/epic focusing on Barrel MPGD XML configurations with Pixel/2DStrip flavours and Multi-Sensitive Volume digitization. Implemented new XML configurations and detector builder updates to support both flavors; temporary default to Pixel during transition to 2DStrip; groundwork laid for eventual default to 2DStrip. Collaborated with cross-team contributors and prepared for upcoming feature rollout.

August 2025 Monthly Summary for developer work in eic/EICrecon. Focused on stabilizing MPGD data paths and event header ingestion to ensure reliable MPGD detector configurations and data analytics readiness.

January 2025: Delivered end-to-end 2D-strip readout enhancements for CyMBaL and Outer Barrel MPGD detectors in both data acquisition (eic/epic) and simulation (eic/EICrecon) stacks. Implemented 2D-strip readout with UV segmentation for Outer Barrel; updated sensor numbering and module naming to support the new segmentation scheme; changes are additive and do not alter default behavior or require user code changes. Introduced a reversible 2D-strip digitization path in simulations, moving from pixel-only readout to a detailed 2D-strip readout with an option to revert to pixel readout; added new C++ sources, and updates to build and detector configurations. All changes are additive and preserve backward compatibility.
