Confirms the existing CREME-MC, McNulty/CUPID, and Hitachi validations are untainted by the heavy-ion primaries work (v1.7.0-v1.7.6).
Regression confirmation
Reran the proton baselines for all three existing validations and confirmed each still reproduces its previously-documented result:
- CREME-MC: fresh log-RMSE 0.2915 decades vs. the documented 0.292.
- McNulty/CUPID: fresh log-RMSE 0.900 decades vs. measured (documented ~0.90-0.91), confirmed-interaction counts (1,444,245 primary + 196,409 secondary-neutron) matching the archived run's (1,444,850 + 196,577) within ordinary RNG/MT-stream variation.
- Hitachi (22 MeV spot-check, representative of the full 5-geometry sweep): fresh 10M-event rerun matches the archived result to 4 significant figures (best Qcrit=50 fC, sigma_device=2.119e-06 cm² both times).
All three full 10M-event reruns completed with zero exceptions. See Documentation/PANDA_VALIDATION_SUMMARY.md Sections 1.1-1.3 for details.
