arXiv:2608. 13652v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Generic event-level anomaly detection for collider physics has two recurring problems: anomaly scores are hard to interpret, and they correlate strongly with energy scale and object multiplicity.
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:2512. 07420v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Jet identification plays a central role in analyzing data from high-energy collider experiments.
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.
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.
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.
