This is an entry for the usual Wednesday working meeting GENETIS holds. We are largely carrying on from last week's hackathon hammering out the remaining pieces that need to be fixed. See the previous ELOG post for a list of those.

Amy pointed out on the Monday call that the proper way to simulate the ANITA antenas is to use one source at a time. I modified the script I had so that it makes two simulations per antenna. The first one will use the power source connected to the "VPol" ridges and the second one uses the one connected to the "HPol" ridges. After checking this, it looks like the asymmetry I had pointed out before fell away. In other words, I think XF only wanted to use a single power source anyway. So now we should be able to produce the VV, HH, VH, and HV data that icemc and PUEOsim need.

Ryan and I also worked a bit on the slopes of the ridges. We experimented with the parameter that affects the curvature, which seems to be able to be too large. But many of the designs still look to have almost no slope and many still caved inward rather than sloping outward. We're still working on figuring out what causes that, but I think it means we need another constraint on distance of the top of the inner ridges from the center. 

We also tried figuring out why the sides of the curved part of the ridges don't stay in the same plane as the straight part of the ridges. I'm confident that they do stay in a single plane (I attached a Mathematica notebook that shows as much by finding that the torsion of the curve is zero; for some reason I couldn't print it to a PDF). We think that we should be able to rotate the curve into the same plane as the straight part of the ridge, but I haven't figured out how yet.

 Nick and I continued working on the HPol antenna. We want to check if there are any other things in Steph's example XF file that are significant to the results of the simulation (versus just being there as a representation of the model). It looks like there are, and Nick is working to figure out what they are by deleting them (in a copy) and generating simulation results for them to compare to the original. Otherwise, the most significant parts (the copper plates) are now being made in a script and just need to be connected to one another.

I tried to build root from source again and ran into an error 3 hours into the build. I messaged Will and asked if he knew anything about the error. I then reran the build with Will's suggested change and ran into the same error 3 hours later. I did, however, manage to build pueo by sourcing the installation of root in Will's shared pueo directory. I'm now testing getting a txt output file from the simulation as it turns out my initial solution didn't work.

Update:

I got a working version of root installed. Also, I was able to modify pueoSim to output a veff.txt file. Now, I need to modify where it reads in the gain files, and then modify the icemc specific bash scripts to work for pueosim.

Here, I will use an example ridge that I have made and tested in XF to \
demonstrate how the curved part of the ridges slope in.
Here is a figure that represents one of these ridges. We are viewing it \
directly at the edge of the ridge, so the blue line actually represents the \
side. The purple curve should lie directly aligned with the blue line but \
doesn[CloseCurlyQuote]t. The same goes for the green line and orange/red \
lines (which do lie in the same plane, but that plane isn[CloseCurlyQuote]t \
aligned with the other side) below, which is the other side of the ridge.\
