Pure-Python Migration of Legacy ROOT Reverberation Time (RT60) Analysis#

Historically, reverberation time (\(T_{60} / \mathrm{RT}_{60}\)) analyses and ring-down decay fits in gravitational-wave detector facilities were performed using legacy ROOT macros (TGraphErrors, TF1). This tutorial demonstrates a modern, pure-Python pipeline using scipy.optimize.curve_fit and pandas, completely free of CERN ROOT dependencies.

Scientific and Computational Objectives#

  1. Zero External Legacy Dependency: Execute end-to-end decay analysis without ROOT, pyroot, or external C++ libraries.

  2. Reverberation Decay Model Semantics: Model the energy decay as \(y(t) = A \cdot 1000^{(t_0 - t)/\mathrm{RT}_{60}}\), representing a \(-60\,\mathrm{dB}\) (\(10^{-3}\)) power drop over time \(\mathrm{RT}_{60}\).

  3. Rebinning with Variance Propagation: Downsample time series by pair-wise summation while rigorously compounding measurement uncertainties: \(\sigma_{\mathrm{rebin}} = \sqrt{\sigma_1^2 + \sigma_2^2}\).

  4. Multi-Trial Execution & Branching: Process 160 synthetic trials (8 events \(\times\) 20 frequency bands) with baseline subtraction (ddof=0), categorizing results into accepted, requires_likelihood_review, and rejected.

  5. Round-Trip Integrity: Export structured CSV tables and verify exact round-trip schema and value recovery.

1. Decay Model and Rebinning Semantics#

We define the exponential \(-60\,\mathrm{dB}\) reverberation decay model where amplitude \(A\) is defined at reference time \(t = 0.1\,\mathrm{s}\): $\(y(t) = A \cdot 1000^{(0.1 - t) / \mathrm{RT}_{60}}\)\( At \)t = 0.1,\mathrm{s}\(, \)y = A\(. At \)t = 0.1 + \mathrm{RT}{60}\(, \)y = A / 1000\( (\)-60,\mathrm{dB}\(). The signal onset is at \)t{\mathrm{onset}} = 0.05,\mathrm{s}\(, providing valid decaying data throughout the entire standard fit interval \)t \in [0.05, 0.5],\mathrm{s}$.

Pairwise rebinning combines two consecutive time bins: $\(t_{\mathrm{rebin}} = \frac{t_{2i} + t_{2i+1}}{2}, \quad y_{\mathrm{rebin}} = y_{2i} + y_{2i+1}, \quad \sigma_{\mathrm{rebin}} = \sqrt{\sigma_{2i}^2 + \sigma_{2i+1}^2}\)$

def rt60_model(t, amplitude_at_0p1, rt60_s):
    """Reverberation decay model: amplitude is defined at reference time t = 0.1 s."""
    return amplitude_at_0p1 * (1000.0 ** ((0.1 - t) / rt60_s))

def rebin_2(t_arr, y_arr, sigma_arr):
    """Pair-wise rebinning with quadrature error propagation."""
    n_pairs = len(y_arr) // 2
    t_reb = 0.5 * (t_arr[0:2*n_pairs:2] + t_arr[1:2*n_pairs:2])

    sig_reb = np.sqrt(sigma_arr[0:2*n_pairs:2]**2 + sigma_arr[1:2*n_pairs:2]**2)
    return t_reb, y_reb, sig_reb

2. Multi-Trial Synthetic Simulation (160 Trials)#

We simulate 8 acoustic events across 20 frequency bands (center frequencies 500 Hz to 1450 Hz in 50 Hz steps), totaling 160 trials. Each trial includes:

  1. Baseline noise estimated from \([-0.5, 0.0]\,\mathrm{s}\) using np.std(..., ddof=0).

  2. Pre-subtraction uncertainty \(\sigma = \sqrt{\sigma_{\mathrm{bkg}}^2 + (0.05 y)^2}\).

  3. Factor-of-2 rebinning.

  4. Non-linear least-squares fitting via scipy.optimize.curve_fit over \(t \in [0.05, 0.5]\,\mathrm{s}\).

  5. Legacy acceptance branching:

    • accepted: \(\mathrm{RT}_{60} > 0.05\,\mathrm{s}\) and \(\sigma_{\mathrm{RT}_{60}} / \mathrm{RT}_{60} < 0.15\)

    • requires_likelihood_review: \(\mathrm{RT}_{60} < 2 \sigma_{\mathrm{RT}_{60}}\) (low SNR / poor constraint)

    • rejected: other unconstrained fits.

4. Visual Diagnostics and Artifact Generation#

We generate three required diagnostic figures and display them inline:

  1. figures/rt60_sample_fit.png: Sample fit showing raw data, rebinned data, fitted model, and residual.

  2. figures/rt60_distribution.png: Histogram of fitted RT60 vs true values for accepted trials.

  3. figures/rt60_by_band.png: Mean RT60 with error bars across frequency bands.
