arXiv:2606. 16035v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern particles physics experiments have demonstrated an increasing need for fast, high-fidelity detector simulation as detector components have improved and subsequent computational requirements approach the limits of available resources.

Simulating the ALICE Zero Degree Calorimeter (ZDC) neutron detector responses at the LHC is computationally expensive, requiring complex Monte Carlo chains. We develop a generative surrogate, focusing on Normalizing Flows (NFs).
The paper introduces a model calibration method using optimal transport to address discrepancies between simulation and experimental data in high-dimensional machine learning applications. Applied to jet tagging in particle physics, the technique calibrates a 128‑dimensional latent representation from a general‑purpose classifier, ensuring downstream derived quantities are properly calibrated. This enables more reliable use of foundation models for jet flavor analysis in LHC experiments and offers a general framework for correcting high‑dimensional simulations across scientific fields.
arXiv:2607. 16144v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In this work we demonstrate that a single transformer-based generative model can capture Standard Model structure spanning five decades of invariant mass, from the sub-GeV regime to the TeV continuum, a range that no single Monte Carlo sample covers.
arXiv:2606. 14813v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Jet tagging at the Large Hadron Collider increasingly relies on deep learning models trained on massive simulated datasets, leading to high computational costs and limited robustness to detector mismodeling.
arXiv:2606. 14373v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The workflow from particle collision to physics analysis passes through a series of reconstruction steps that are traditionally modular and disconnected, with no shared representation linking low-level detector data to high-level analysis tasks.
The paper introduces a Deep Sets surrogate for optimal transport (OT) that respects key metric properties—non-negativity, exchange symmetry, and zero self-distance—while leaving the triangle inequality unconstrained. Applied to the Energy Mover's Distance between collider events, the Metric-Aware Particle Flow Network achieves percent‑level mean absolute percentage error and markedly higher inference throughput compared to other exact and approximate methods. The architectural constraints also dramatically reduce triangle‑inequality violations, improving geometric fidelity across a large set of held‑out event triplets.
arXiv:2607. 25060v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Monte Carlo simulation of calorimeter showers is a principal bottleneck for the High-Luminosity LHC, and diffusion models have emerged as fast, high-fidelity surrogates.
arXiv:2604. 01313v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: High-fidelity simulations and complex inverse problems, such as detector modeling and unfolding, are computationally intensive bottlenecks across subatomic physics, yet essential for accurate physical interpretation.
