Deep-learning-based low-energy trigger algorithms for the Hyper-Kamiokande experiment

The paper presents deep‑learning trigger algorithms for the Hyper‑Kamiokande water Cherenkov detector, targeting low‑energy neutrino events below 7 MeV. It compares a supervised neural‑network classifier with two anomaly‑detection methods—an autoencoder and a Manifold Projection‑Diffusion Recovery model—showing the supervised model achieves a 76.7 % signal efficiency for 3 MeV electrons, far surpassing the 26.4 % efficiency of a traditional hit‑count trigger. GPU‑based runtime tests indicate per‑window inference latencies well below one millisecond.

Mind the Gap: Navigating Inference with Optimal Transport Maps

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.

JetParticle-JEPA: An Efficient Self-Supervised Representation Learning method for Jet Tagging in High-Energy Physics

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.
