Particle Cloud Generation
There has been significant development recently in generative models for accelerating LHC simulations. Work on simulating jets has primarily used image-based representations, which tend to be sparse and of limited resolution. We advocate for the more natural ‘particle cloud’ representation of jets, i.e. as a set of particles in momentum space, and discuss...
Machine-learning-based data generation has become a major topic in particle physics, as the current Monte Carlo simulation approach is computationally challenging for future colliders, which will have a significantly higher luminosity. The generation of particles poses difficult problems similar as is the case for point clouds. We propose that a transformer setup is well fitted to this task....
High-precision theory predictions require the numerical integration of high-dimensional phase-space integrals and the simultaneous generation of unweighted events to feed the full simulation chain and subsequent analyses. While current methods are based on first principles and are mathematically guaranteed to converge to the correct answer, the computational cost to decrease the numerical...
