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.

The paper introduces a data‑driven method for pairing events at the Large Hadron Collider using the energy mover's distance (EMD) to measure similarity, thereby creating augmentation‑free views for self‑supervised pre‑training. By matching distinct events based on EMD, the approach preserves the physics content of each event without handcrafted distortions. Experiments on QCD jets demonstrate that this pairing technique yields semantic jet embeddings with downstream discrimination power comparable to or better than traditional augmentation‑based baselines.

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.
