Description

The simulation of high-energy physics collision events is a key element for data analysis at present and future particle accelerators. The comparison of simulation predictions to data allows us to look for rare deviations that can be due to new phenomena not previously observed. The CMS Collaboration is investigating how novel machine learning algorithms, specifically Normalizing Flows and Flow Matching, can be used to perform accurate simulations with several orders of magnitude of speed-up compared to traditional approaches, contributing to the development of a "Digital Twin" of the CMS Experiment, a simulation framework named FlashSim. The classical simulation chain computes energy deposits, electronics response, and reconstruction from a physics process. We propose an end-to-end approach, directly simulating the final high-level format from physical inputs, skipping intermediate steps. The speed and accuracy of the proposed approach make it a compelling tool for the present and future needs of CMS Collaboration.
