Particle accelerators and detectors are one of the main sources of data for High Energy Physics studies and analysis in general, and thus are tools that require work and maintenance to keep running in optimal conditions. In light of this, spe- cial care must be put into the software dedicated to the reconstruction of the detected events, and thus its optimization is essential to keep the production chain running efficiently. This document presents this exact optimization, which is done by focusing on different elements associated with the components that take the most time in the offline reconstruction software of the CLAS12 detector. The results obtained in the project are highly favorable, with a reduction of half the running time of the entire software. These results are relevant because they allow for a much faster reconstruction of the available data, and thus accelerating the whole production chain. A favorable part of the optimizations applied is that they can be useful for other institutions working with particle detectors.
