Dffusion: Capturing the Beam-Beam Physics of Collisions with Diffusion Models

Antonio Chahine, Mariarosaria D'Alfonso, Jan Eysermans +10

Beam-induced backgrounds at high-luminosity colliders, such as the FCC-ee, are dominated by incoherent pair creation (IPC), and require computationally expensive simulatio…

PanopTag: Simultaneously Tagging All Jets in a Particle Collision Event

Umar Sohail Qureshi, Brendon Bullard, Ariel Schwartzman

Jet tagging, identifying the origin of jets produced in particle collisions, is a critical classification task in high-energy physics. Despite the revolutionary impact of deep lear…

Deep Image Reconstruction for Background Subtraction in Heavy-Ion Collisions

Umar Sohail Qureshi, Raghav Kunnawalkam Elayavalli

Jet reconstruction in an ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collision suffers from a notoriously large, fluctuating thermal background. Traditional background subtraction methods struggl…
