Ran the loop with the same individuals in each "generation" to test how decreasing
the grid size would affect the effective volume. Using individuals with lengths of 5cm, I startde with a grid spacing of 0.01 cm and kept cutting down |

Alex P and I implemented the changes we discussed with Amy to Detector.cc. We're currently running a test to see how the grid
spacing affects the gains from XF. We started with small antennas using a grid spacing of 0.01 and we're cutting down by factors of 2 each generation |

Worked more with Alex P on AraSim. We've found the cause of the low effective volumes. The
function GainToHeight in Report.cc uses another function called GetGain_1D_OutZero in Detector.cc. The problem is that for some small individuals, we get |

Continued working to find the AraSim error. We think we're very close to finding where
the difference between the two individuals (one with nonzero effective volume, one with 0) is arising. We've pinned it down to a series of if statements |

Worked with Alex P on looking for the problem in AraSim. We looked in Report.cc where Amy suggested there was an inequality involving
a variable called "Full_window" being compared to the trigger threshold. We followed this down to another function in Report.cc where Full_window |

Helped Alex P look through AraSim some more. We wanted to keep trying to nail down whether or not the threshold was passed (the files said
no before, but we wanted to try confirming by looking at the actual values). The files were big but from the values we saw none exceeded the threshold |

I hopped on with Alex M to catch him up with what has been done and changed within AraSim so far. I looked into using pointers to access arrays outside
of their declared scope and it seemed reletively easy to set up. I set up a pointer corresponding to the arrays V_forfft, T_forfft, and vmmhz_filter
and set them at the end of stage one in order to be used in stage two. Also made sure to delete the pointers at the end of stage 2 (Very Important). After |

I worked on fixing the AraSim issue today. I think I have it resolved. Essentially, I made a second set of flags that the loop will
