  • [Jan 23, 2024]   I will do the presentation during the DUNE 2024 Jan Collaboration Meeting. The title is Rayleigh Scattering Length Measurement Based on Comp Graph Module in ProtoDUNE-VD. Evualtion of newly trained network for protoDUNE_VD v4 geometry will be shown, as well as the preliminary results of RSL measurements!

  • [Mar 2, 2024]   I participated the online Analysis Pipelines workshop. Basic understanding and applications of Podman, Apptainer/Singularity, Github CI/CD and GitLab CI/CD established.

  • [Mar 20, 2024]   It is my honor to give an invited talk at the Minisymposium of the future DPF-PHENO 2024 on behalf of DUNE.

  • [May 19, 2024]   I made a presentation during the DPF-PHENO 2024 meeting. The title is Neural Network Based Fast Optical Simulation Method in ProtoDUNE-VD. Detailed illustration of network module and evaluations were shown, which can be seen as the finish of this work.

  • [May 23, 2024]   I made a presentation during the DUNE May 2024 CM. The title is RSL Studies in ProtoDUNE-VD & New CRT Layout Proposal. Rayleigh scattering length sensitivities based on cosmic muons going through current CRT. Layout of new CRT is also proposed.

  • [Jul 9, 2024]   I successfully trained the computable graph module for fast optical simulation in protoDUNE-HD. It will be pulled to DUNE github and become collaboration-wide available soon.

  • [Jul 11, 2024]   I will go to CERN in August and return until May 2025 (9 months). During my stay there, I will get involved in the operations of protoDUNE-HD and protoDUNE-VD.

  • [Aug 17, 2024]   I finally reviewed all slides of INSS 2023. Clear and detailed notes were made. Understanding of whole field is initially established.

  • [Sep 16, 2024]   I made a presentation during DUNE Sep 2024 CM. The updates of Rayleigh scattering length measurement based on protoDUNE-VD were shown. Different absorption lengths were considered.

  • [Oct 2, 2024]   I finished reading The Feynman Lectures on Physics (Volume II). Great and detailed explanations of classical electromagnetism as well as introduction to fluid physics.

  • [Oct 14, 2024]   I made a presentation on ProtoDUNE PDS Sim/Reco working group. The topic is Michel electron optical signal based on protoDUNE-HD, which can be regarded as the end of feasibility exploration of thesis research. For my thesis, I plan to focus on Michel electron from cosmic muons. Firstly observe Michel electron signal in PDS, then reconstruct the energy of Michel electron with PDS & TPC joint information, hopefully to improve the energy accuracy.
