MadNIS -- Neural Multi-Channel Importance Sampling
Theo Heimel, Ramon Winterhalder, Anja Butter +5
Theory predictions for the LHC require precise numerical phase-space integration and generation of unweighted events. We combine machine-learned multi-channel weights with a normal…
Modern Machine Learning for LHC Physicists
Tilman Plehn, Anja Butter, Barry Dillon +3
Depending on the point of view, modern machine learning is either providing an unprecedented boost to the numerical methods of particle physics, or it is transforming the way we do…
Two Invertible Networks for the Matrix Element Method
Anja Butter, Theo Heimel, Till Martini +2
The matrix element method is widely considered the ultimate LHC inference tool for small event numbers. We show how a combination of two conditional generative neural networks enco…
Machine Learning and LHC Event Generation
Anja Butter, Tilman Plehn, Steffen Schumann +48
First-principle simulations are at the heart of the high-energy physics research program. They link the vast data output of multi-purpose detectors with fundamental theory predicti…
