Description

Simulating detector and reconstruction effects on physics quantities is of paramount importance for data analysis, but unsustainably costly for the upcoming HEP experiments.
The most radical approach to speed-up detector simulation is a Flash Simulation, as proposed by the LHCb collaboration in Lamarr, a software package implementing a novel simulation paradigm relying on deep generative models and seq2seq attention-driven techniques to deliver simulated samples. Thanks to its modular layout, Lamarr provides analysis-level quantities by applying a pipeline of machine-learning-based modules that properly transforms the information resulting from physics generators.
Good agreement is observed by comparing key reconstructed quantities obtained with Lamarr against those from the existing detailed Geant4-based simulation. Integrated within the general LHCb Simulation software framework, we show that a two-order magnitude cost reduction can be achieved by adopting Lamarr.
