Common Clusterization Library (CCL)

Evolution of the psMST library (see below).

The following procedures are implemented within CCL:

  • "Box-like" coalescence for light nuclei and hypernuclei.
  • Cluster-finding procedure based on the Minimum Spanning Tree using the Disjoint-set data structure (DSU MST).
  • Recovery of lost QMD clusters during reaction evolution.
  • A new DSU MST and two-pass Simulated Annealing chain.

Phase-space Minimum Spanning Tree

The Minimum Spanning Tree procedure was successfully used for decades within the QMD transport approach and its derivatives, but was limited by the usage of coordinate space only. The Phase-space Minimum Spanning Tree library was developed to overcome this limit by adding momentum space to the algorithm and to provide a model-independent MST version for QMD-based models, the BUU family, and other approaches propagating baryons.

Later development included a coalescence algorithm for deuterons, making it possible to compare different deuteron production mechanisms and suggest further experimental measurements.

MPD light nuclei analysis

A new light nuclei analysis wagon was implemented for the Multi-Purpose Detector MpdRoot train-like analysis chain. For each particle of interest and centrality bin it automatically provides phase-space distributions, efficiency and contamination corrections, double-differential transverse momentum spectra, and other outputs.

The main wagon part is written in C++, and the post-processing analysis macro is written in Python. The source code was supplemented with documentation comments for Doxygen.

Meteorology QA framework

A QA framework for meteorological observables was created using PyGMT, Plotly, and Matplotlib. It represents error types such as ME, MAE, and RMSE for observables including wind speed, wind direction, temperature, and precipitation at different levels.

The framework can also show meteorological stations and other objects of interest on maps of selected regions.
