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 |

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 |

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 with Alex to run XF with smaller grid spacing. We're down to 0.001 cm, but below that we were getting long times on the
XF GUI that made it seem like it was hanging. I also investigated XF from a Pitzer desktop to see how to use the progrid setting. I can get the scripts |

Worked with Aelx P on running the loop with decreasing grid spacing. I also worked in the XF GUI some more and figured out how to
make 3D gain plots (per Cade's suggestion) and tried comparing different grid sizes for a single antenna with proGrid on. |

Worked with Alex P on figuring out why we keep evolving towards small antennas. We think it's because the initial angle is so
large, and the standard deviation of makes it more difficult to bring the antenna within the confines of the hole by mutating the angle than by mutating |

Worked with Alex P to look at the different gain patterns for antennas with different separation distances. We found that there wasn't
a clear frequency where they started to agree--looking at the average frequency gain plots we sent on slack, they look very different. We're trying |

Worked with Alex to change the roulette algorithm to implement a cut on the minimum length for the Antennas. Amy showed that we
don't want to generate antennas which are shorter than 37.5 cm in length (for each cone, so a total of 75 cm all together) because anything shorter |

Found a bug while running the loop, fixed it and starting running again. Added a few things to the paper.
Alex and I will keep the loop running tomorrow. We're gonna try to meet with Eliot and Leo to work on implementing the bug fixes |

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 |
