Description

We study how to use Deep Variational Autoencoders for a fast simulation of jets of particles at the LHC. We represent jets as a list of constituents, characterized by their momenta. Starting from a simulation of the jet before detector effects, we train a Deep Variational Autoencoder to return the corresponding list of constituents after detection. Doing so, we bypass both the detector simulation, and the event reconstruction steps of a traditional event processing, potentially speeding up significantly the events generation workflow. Using as benchmark a convolutional VAE, we discuss how to customize the loss to improve accuracy.
