Refreshes data/logo/genie_banner_long.txt to match the current collaboration roster and affiliation mapping. The banner keeps its fixed-width ASCII layout while replacing the outdated author/institution blocks with the new 24-author list and 13-institution list.

  • Author block

    • Replaced the existing collaborator lines with the requested ordered list.
    • Added Pablo Samuel Barham Alzas [11].
    • Removed Or Hen, Weijun Li, Noah Steinberg, Vladyslav Syrotenko, and Jeremy Wolcott.
    • Kept the multi-line comma-separated formatting.
  • Institution block

    • Replaced the previous 15-entry affiliation list with the new 13-entry list.
    • Updated institution numbering to match the new collaborator affiliations.
    • Shortened the IFIC line to a width-safe form while preserving the full affiliation meaning.
  • Banner layout

    • Preserved the fixed-width * + 111 chars + * structure for every modified line.
    • Left the ASCII art, copyright line, collaboration separator, and corresponding-author block unchanged.

Example of the updated banner content:

* Luis Alvarez-Ruso [4], Costas Andreopoulos [8], Adi Ashkenazi [11], Pablo Samuel Barham Alzas [11],           *
* Joshua Barrow [9], Steve Dytman [10], Hugh Gallagher [12], Alfonso Andres Garcia Soto [4],                    *
...
*                                              and Qiyu Yan [3,13]                                              *
*                   [4] Instituto de Física Corpuscular (IFIC), CSIC / Universitat de València                  *
Original prompt

Task

Update the file data/logo/genie_banner_long.txt to reflect a new collaborator list and updated institution affiliations.

The file is a fixed-width ASCII art banner. Each content line is 113 characters wide: * + 111 characters of (space-padded) content + *. This width must be preserved exactly for all modified lines.


New Collaborator List

Replace the existing author lines (currently lines 39–44) with the following authors in exactly this order, formatted to fit within the 113-character line width:

  1. Luis Alvarez-Ruso [4]
  2. Costas Andreopoulos [8]
  3. Adi Ashkenazi [11]
  4. Pablo Samuel Barham Alzas [11]
  5. Joshua Barrow [9]
  6. Steve Dytman [10]
  7. Hugh Gallagher [12]
  8. Alfonso Andres Garcia Soto [4]
  9. Steven Gardiner [3]
  10. Matan Goldenberg [11]
  11. Robert Hatcher [3]
  12. Igor Kakorin [6]
  13. Konstantin Kuzmin [5,6]
  14. Liang Liu [3]
  15. Xianguo Lu [13]
  16. Anselmo Meregaglia [1]
  17. Vadim Naumov [6]
  18. Afroditi Papadopoulou [7]
  19. Gabriel Perdue [3]
  20. Komninos-John Plows [8]
  21. Marco Roda [8]
  22. Alon Sportes [11]
  23. Júlia Tena Vidal [4]
  24. Qiyu Yan [3,13] ← last author; prepend "and " before this name

Removed from the old list (do not include): Or Hen, Weijun Li, Noah Steinberg, Vladyslav Syrotenko, Jeremy Wolcott.

Format the author names as a comma-separated list across multiple lines (similar to the existing style), each line padded with spaces to reach the 111-character interior width, ending each line with *.


New Institution List

Replace the institution lines (currently lines 48–62) with the following 13 institutions. The number of lines will change from 15 to 13. Adjust surrounding blank lines if needed to keep the block looking tidy. Format each institution line centred within the 111-character interior, matching the style of the existing institution lines.

[1] CENBG, Université de Bordeaux, CNRS/IN2P3
[2] University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences
[3] Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory
[4] Instituto de Física Corpuscular (IFIC), Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) y de la Universitat de València (UV)
[5] Alikhanov Institute for Theoretical and Experimental Physics (ITEP) of NRC "Kurchatov Institute"
[6] Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR)
[7] Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL)
[8] University of Liverpool, Dept. of Physics
[9] University of Minnesota, School of Physics and Astronomy
[10] University of Pittsburgh, Dept. of Physics and Astronomy
[11] Tel Aviv University, School of Physics and Astronomy
[12] Tufts University, Dept. of Physics and Astronomy
[13] Warwick University, Dept. of Physics

Note: institution [4] (IFIC) has a very long full name. If it does not fit on one 113-character line, use an abbreviated form such as [4] Instituto de Física Corpuscular (IFIC), CSIC / Universitat de València that fits within the width.

Note: institution [5] (ITEP) is very long and is already handled in the existing file with a long line — keep it similarly formatted.


What to keep unchanged

  • Lines 1–38 (the ASCII art, copyright notice, and blank separator lines above the author block)
  • Lines 45–47 (blank line, (The GENIE Collaboration) line, blank line — between author block and institution block)
  • Lines 63 onward (blank line, Corresponding Author: block, closing *** line)

Do not change the copyright year or any other content outside the author and institution sections.

I checked this PR by hand against the current collaboration list on the website (https://genie-mc.github.io/collaboration.html) and it looks good. I'd like @candreop to also review it before merging to avoid any mistakes.
