 Fri Feb 24 10:05:38 2023, Alex M, Paper Symmetric Run for Reviewer 
|
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 |

|
Will sent me some info on how to install PUEOsim. I attached a markdown file he sent for how to install PUEOsim. He also sent the path to pre-compiled
installation of PUEOsim. Here's the path to the pre-compiled installation: /users/PAS0654/wluszczak/PUEO_shared
Here is his full message, which details that you must also run set_env.sh before running PUEOsim: |

Today was the first day of the GENETIS Hackathon. We are spending several days this week specifically tackling the PUEO project to get it into full form
(or close to it). Here is a progress update after day 1.

My focus was on the XF scripting for making the PUEO antenna. Before last week, we had a script which made the geometry of a PUEO-like antenna. |

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.

At the main GENETIS meeting yesterday, we collected the last few things that need to be worked out in order to get the PUEO loop in working order. Here's
a list

Thu Apr 27 01:36:32 2023, Alex M, Results from paper symmetric run
|
The reviewer asked us to run the loop again but for just symmetric antenna designs. We have completed that run and have results ready. We still need
to resimulate the top five individuals, which I'll update this post with later. I attached the violin plot (though it should be fixed to not let the
legend overlap the data). See this previous entry for the details of the run: http://radiorm.physics.ohio-state.edu/elog/GENETIS/198 |

Sun Apr 30 03:45:07 2023, Alex M, Preliminary PUEO Run
|
We have the PUEO loop in working order, though there are a few errors in accuracy and efficiency. We started a preliminary run with few individuals and
neutrrinos as a large scale test that may still give us some useful data.
For this run, we are only evolving the inner side length (10cm to 25 cm) and height (10 cm to 50 cm). The walls are slanted at 45 degrees, so |

Mon May 1 05:45:02 2023, Alex M, Midscale PUEO Run
|
I've started a run of the PUEO loop to get some data for evolving the antenna width and height. We are running with 24 individuals, each with 400k
neutrinos at an energy exponent of 19. Here is the output directory: /fs/ess/PAS1960/HornEvolutionOSC/GENETIS_PUEO/BiconeEvolution/current_antenna_evo_build/XF_Loop/Evolutionary_Loop/Run_Outputs/2023_05_01_Test_5
It's very important to note that the cross-pol data being used still comes from the data already stored in pueosim. This is because our extremely |

|
Here are the run details for the latest PUEO run we've started. There are still some bugs that need to be worked out, which are detailed on the github.
Here is the directory where the data is stored: /fs/ess/PAS1960/HornEvolutionOSC/GENETIS_PUEO/BiconeEvolution/current_antenna_evo_build/XF_Loop/Evolutionary_Loop/Run_Outputs/2023_05_08
This run uses 50 individuals per generation with 400k neutrinos per individual at an energy exponent of 19. Only the inner side length and outer |

Wed May 10 17:43:20 2023, Alex M, How to run the loop
|
In this post, I'm going to give step by step instructions on everything you need to do to run the loop. See Julie's
thesis for the most recent iteration of this manual. Also refer to entry 123 for a list of some errors we have encountered historically in the loop and
how to resolve them, though some fixes may be outdated. |

Wed Jun 14 14:38:22 2023, Alex M, PUEO Antenna Dimensions
|
Here are my recommended starting genes for the initial generation of the upcoming run (confirmed that these will produce a working antenna in XF). We
want to use the lowest values we can because we expect that a larger (namely, taller) antenna will perform better:
S, H, x0, y0, yf, zf, beta |

Thu Jun 29 12:05:45 2023, Alex M, Gain at various source heights 17x
|
Here are a collection of antenna gain patterns with the antenna power source located at various heights at 500 MHz. The heights are indicated in the
name of the images and were located at 3cm, 6cm, 12cm, and 24cm from the base. One thing to note is that the power source becomes longer as a function
of height (since it's connected to the ridges, which slope back). |

Fri Sep 1 09:16:30 2023, Alex M, Curved Run With Realized Gain
|
We are beginning a new run with several improvements to the ARA VPol loop to try to evolve antennas that are optimally matched just by their geometry.
To do this, we are evolving with the RealizedGain instead of just Gain in the Xmacros (thus taking into account impedance mismatch). We also have the speed
up that parallelizes the AraSim jobs on each run. Attached is the run_details.txt file, but the GA parameters are subject to change. Here is what they |
