Description

Most of IC's development has occurred parallel to the running of a detector. From this, we introduced a large number of default values for functions' arguments that refer to this specific detector. We must remove them and force the user to specify which values to use.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Identify all function signatures with default arguments that refer to the specific detector and remove those defaults, requiring explicit values from the user.
