+# Audio Anomaly Detection Service
+
+## Overview
+
+The Audio Anomaly Detection Service provides auditory feedback for anomaly detection in subatomic physics data analysis within EICrecon. It creates an audio stream where each detector subsystem is mapped to a different frequency band, with loudness serving as a proxy for the amount of anomaly detected in that detector.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Multi-detector Support**: Monitors 17 different detector subsystems (BEMC, BHCAL, EEMC, EHCAL, FEMC, FHCAL, BTRK, ECTRK, BVTX, DRICH, PFRICH, DIRC, BTOF, ECTOF, ZDC, B0TRK, B0ECAL)
+- **Frequency Mapping**: Each detector is assigned a unique frequency band between 200 Hz and 2000 Hz for optimal audibility
+- **Real-time Processing**: Continuously processes events and updates audio output
+- **Configurable Audio Device**: Supports specification of Linux audio device via parameters
+- **Silent Mode**: Gracefully handles environments without audio hardware
+
+## Architecture
+
+The system consists of three main components:
+
+1. **AudioAnomalyDetection_service**: Core service that manages audio output and frequency mapping
+2. **AnomalyDetection algorithm**: Computes anomaly levels by comparing truth and reconstructed data
+3. **AnomalyDetection_factory**: JANA factory that integrates the algorithm into the event processing pipeline

+## Usage
+
+### Loading the Plugin
+
+To enable audio anomaly detection, add the plugin to your EICrecon execution:
+
+```bash
+eicrecon -Pplugins=audio_anomaly [other options] input_files
+```
+
+### Configuration Parameters
+
+The service accepts the following parameters:
+
+- `audio_anomaly:device` - Audio device name (default: "default")
+- `audio_anomaly:sample_rate` - Sample rate for audio output in Hz (default: 44100)
+- `audio_anomaly:buffer_size` - Audio buffer size in samples (default: 1024)
+
+Example:
+```bash
+eicrecon -Pplugins=audio_anomaly -Paudio_anomaly:device=hw:0,0 input.edm4hep.root
+```
+
+### Algorithm Configuration
+
+The anomaly detection algorithm can be configured via:
+
+- `energy_threshold` - Energy threshold for considering particles in GeV (default: 0.1)
+- `momentum_threshold` - Momentum threshold for considering particles in GeV/c (default: 0.1)
+- `max_anomaly_value` - Maximum anomaly value for normalization (default: 10.0)
+- `update_frequency` - Update frequency for audio output in events (default: 10)
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### Anomaly Calculation
+
+The service computes anomalies by comparing Monte Carlo truth information with reconstructed particle data:
+
+1. **Energy-based Anomaly**: Compares total energy between truth and reconstructed particles
+2. **Momentum-based Anomaly**: Compares total momentum magnitude between truth and reconstructed particles
+3. **Combined Anomaly**: Weighted average of energy and momentum anomalies
+4. **Normalization**: Maps raw anomaly values to [0,1] range for audio output
+
+### Audio Generation
+
+- Uses ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) for low-latency audio output
+- Generates sine waves at detector-specific frequencies
+- Amplitude (loudness) is proportional to anomaly level
+- Supports graceful degradation when audio hardware is unavailable
+
+### Thread Safety
+
+- Uses mutex protection for shared anomaly data
+- Atomic flags for thread-safe control of audio generation loop
+- Separate audio generation thread for real-time performance
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- **ALSA**: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture for audio output
+- **JANA2**: Event processing framework
+- **spdlog**: Logging framework
+- **C++17**: Modern C++ features
+
+## Limitations
+
+- Currently requires Linux environment with ALSA support
+- Audio hardware must be available for audible output (falls back to silent mode otherwise)
+- Simplified anomaly calculation (can be enhanced with more sophisticated algorithms)
+- Limited to mono audio output
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+- Support for additional audio backends (PulseAudio, JACK)
+- More sophisticated anomaly detection algorithms
