We began a new run for a symmetric bicone antenna. The purpose of this is to satisfy the most recent comments from the reviewer on the paper. We are using the same GA as for the paper with the same parameters. I will update this post soon with more details about this run. There is a run_details file attached, but please wait for me to update this post with more specifics as the version of the GA being used is less connected to the details presented in that file.

The data can be found here: /fs/ess/PAS1960/BiconeEvolutionOSC/BiconeEvolution/current_antenna_evo_build/XF_Loop/Evolutionary_Loop/Run_Outputs/2023_02_20_Symmetric_Run .

####### VARIABLES: LINES TO CHECK OVER WHEN STARTING A NEW RUN ###############################################################################################
RunName='2023_02_20_Symmetric_Run'      ## This is the name of the run. You need to make a unique name each time you run.
TotalGens=100                   ## number of generations (after initial) to run through
NPOP=50                         ## number of individuals per generation; please keep this value below 99
Seeds=10                        ## This is how many AraSim jobs will run for each individual## the number frequencies being iterated over in XF (Currectly only affects the output.xmacro loop)
FREQ=60                         ## the number frequencies being iterated over in XF (Currectly only affects the output.xmacro loop)
NNT=30000                       ## Number of Neutrinos Thrown in AraSim
exp=18                          ## exponent of the energy for the neutrinos in AraSim
ScaleFactor=1.0                 ## ScaleFactor used when punishing fitness scores of antennae larger than the drilling holes
GeoFactor=1                     ## This is the number by which we are scaling DOWN our antennas. This is passed to many files
num_keys=4                      ## how many XF keys we are letting this run use
database_flag=0                 ## 0 if not using the database, 1 if using the database
                                ## These next 3 define the symmetry of the cones.
RADIUS=0                        ## If 1, radius is asymmetric. If 0, radius is symmetric
LENGTH=0                        ## If 1, length is asymmetric. If 0, length is symmetric
ANGLE=0                         ## If 1, angle is asymmetric. If 0, angle is symmetric
CURVED=0                        ## If 1, evolve curved sides. If 0, sides are straight
A=0                             ## If 1, A is asymmetric
B=0                             ## If 1, B is asymmetric
SEPARATION=0                    ## If 1, separation evolves. If 0, separation is constant
NSECTIONS=1                     ## The number of chromosomes
DEBUG_MODE=0                    ## 1 for testing (ex: send specific seeds), 0 for real runs
                                ## These next variables are the values passed to the GA
REPRODUCTION=3                  ## Number (not fraction!) of individuals formed through reproduction
CROSSOVER=36                    ## Number (not fraction!) of individuals formed through crossover
MUTATION=25                     ## Probability of mutation (divided by 100)
SIGMA=6                         ## Standard deviation for the mutation operation (divided by 100)
ROULETTE=8                      ## Percent of individuals selected through roulette (divided by 10)
TOURNAMENT=2                    ## Percent of individuals selected through tournament (divided by 10)
