## Unified Minuit2 fitting framework with FitModel API ### Models (`Models.hpp`) Consolidate all model structs (Gaussian, RisingScurve, FallingScurve) into a single header. Each model provides: `eval`, `eval_and_grad`, `is_valid`, `estimate_par`, `compute_steps`, and `param_info` metadata. No Minuit2 dependency. ### Chi2 functors (`Chi2.hpp`) Generic `Chi2Model1DGrad` (analytic gradient) templated on the model struct. Replaces the separate Chi2Gaussian, Chi2GaussianGradient, Chi2Scurves, and Chi2ScurvesGradient headers. ### FitModel (`FitModel.hpp`) Configuration object wrapping `MnUserParameters`, strategy, tolerance, and user-override tracking. User constraints (fixed parameters, start values, limits) always take precedence over automatic data-driven estimates. ### Fit functions (`Fit.hpp`) - `fit_pixel<Model, FCN>(model, x, y, y_err)` -> single-pixel, self-contained - `fit_pixel<Model, FCN>(model, upar_local, x, y, y_err)` -> pre-cloned upar for hot loops - `fit_3d<Model, FCN>(model, x, y, y_err, ..., n_threads)` -> row-parallel over pixel grid ### Python bindings - `Pol1`, `Pol2`, `Gaussian`, `RisingScurve`, `FallingScurve` model classes with `FixParameter`, `SetParLimits`, `SetParameter`, and properties for `max_calls`, `tolerance`, `compute_errors` - Single `fit(model, x, y, y_err, n_threads)` dispatch replacing the old `fit_gaus_minuit`, `fit_gaus_minuit_grad`, `fit_scurve_minuit_grad`, etc. ### Benchmarks - Updated `fit_benchmark.cpp` (Google Benchmark) to use the new FitModel API - Jupyter notebooks for 1D and 3D S-curve fitting (lmfit vs Minuit2 analytic) - ~1.8x speedup over lmfit, near-linear thread scaling up to physical core count --------- Co-authored-by: Erik Fröjdh <erik.frojdh@psi.ch>

Release notes
HEAD
New Features:
- Added a new Minuit2-based fitting framework for
Gaussian,RisingScurve,FallingScurve,Pol1andPol2models. - setter and getter for nSigma for ClusterFinder
aare.ClusterFinder().nSigma = 2,aare.ClusterFinderMT().set_nSigma(2)
Bugfixes:
- Fixed
split_task(first, last, n_threads)so task ranges now correctly respect thefirstoffset. Previously, non-zero starting indices could generate incorrect subranges.
2026.3.17
New Features:
- Decoding transceiver data from Matterhorn10
transformed_data = aare.transform.Matterhorn10Transform(num_counters=2, dynamic_range=16)(data) - Expanding 24 to 32 bit data
aare._aare.expand24to32bit(data, offset=4) - Decoding digital data from Mythen 302
transformed_data = aare.transform.Mythen302Transform(offset=4)(data) - added
aare.Interpolator.transform_eta_values. Function transforms\eta-values to uniform spatial coordinates. Should only be used for easier debugging. - New
to_string,string_to - Added exptime and period members to RawMasterFile including decoding
- Removed redundant
arr.value(ix,iy...)on NDArray usearr(ix,iy...) - Removed Print/Print_some/Print_all form NDArray (operator
<<still works) - Added const* version of .data()
- reading multiple ROI's supported for aare.
- Use
aare.RawFile.read_roi(roi_index=0)to read a specific ROI for the current frame - Use
aare.RawFile.read_rois()to read multiple ROIs for the current frame - Use
aare.RawFile.read_n_with_roi(num_frames = 2, roi_index = 0)to read multiple frames for a specific ROI. - Note
read_frameandread_nis not supported for multiple ROI's.
- Use
- Building conda/pypi pkgs for python 3.14. Removing 3.11 builds.
Bugfixes:
- multi threaded cluster finder doesnt drop frames if queues are full
- Round before casting in the cluster finder to avoid biasing clusters by truncating
2025.11.21
New Features:
-
Added SPDX-License-Identifier: MPL-2.0 to source files
-
Calculate Eta3 supports all cluster types
-
interpolation class supports using cross eta3x3 and eta3x3 on full cluster as well as eta2x2 on full cluster
-
interpolation class has option to calculate the rosenblatt transform
-
reduction operations to reduce Clusters of general size to 2x2 or 3x3 clusters
-
max_sum_2x2including index of subcluster with highest energy is now available from Python API -
interpolation supports bilinear interpolation of eta values for more fine grained transformed uniform coordinates
-
Interpolation is documented
-
Added tell to ClusterFile. Returns position in bytes for debugging
Resolved Features:
- calculate_eta coincides with theoretical definition
Bugfixes:
- eta calculation assumes correct photon center
- eta transformation to uniform coordinates starts at 0
- Bug in interpolation
- File supports reading new master json file format (multiple ROI's not supported yet)
API Changes:
- ClusterFinder for 2x2 Cluster disabled
- eta stores corner as enum class cTopLeft, cTopRight, BottomLeft, cBottomRight indicating 2x2 subcluster with largest energy relative to cluster center
- max_sum_2x2 returns corner as index
2025.8.22
Features:
- Apply calibration works in G0 if passes a 2D calibration and pedestal
- count pixels that switch
- calculate pedestal (also g0 version)
- NDArray::view() needs an lvalue to reduce issues with the view outliving the array
Bugfixes:
- Now using glibc 2.17 in conda builds (was using the host)
- Fixed shifted pixels in clusters close to the edge of a frame
2025.7.18
Features:
- Cluster finder now works with 5x5, 7x7 and 9x9 clusters
- Added ClusterVector::empty() member
- Added apply_calibration function for Jungfrau data
Bugfixes:
- Fixed reading RawFiles with ROI fully excluding some sub files.
- Decoding of MH02 files placed the pixels in wrong position
- Removed unused file: ClusterFile.cpp
2025.5.22
Features:
- Added scurve fitting
Bugfixes:
- Fixed crash when opening raw files with large number of data files
