This is considered to be the first run of "good" data. Prior to this run, we ran with few neutrinos and had errors which needed to be resolved in AraSim and with the way we handled XFdtd's simulation results being passed to AraSim. Those were resolved in the summer before this run.

This was a symmetric run of 10 individuals over 15 generations using 100,000 neutrinos per individual. This preceded the substantial modifications made by Ryan to the GA. All individuals were formed through crossover, but there was a probability of 40% for genes to be mutated. In this case, mutation was a complete change to the gene, though it was based on the average value of that gene in the generation. There was no reproduction or mutation. All individuals were selected through roulette.

Green individuals indicate that there was no penalty applied, while red individuals had a penalty factor multiplied by their effective volumes. The penalty was of the form exp(-(R-7.5)^2), where R is the outer radius, in cm, of the bicone.
