Accelerating template generation in resonant anomaly detection searches with optimal transport

Matthew Leigh, Debajyoti Sengupta, Benjamin Nachman +1

We introduce Resonant Anomaly Detection with Optimal Transport (RAD-OT), a method for generating signal templates in resonant anomaly detection searches. RAD-OT leverages the fact…

Improving new physics searches with diffusion models for event observables and jet constituents

Debajyoti Sengupta, Matthew Leigh, John Andrew Raine +2

We introduce a new technique called Drapes to enhance the sensitivity in searches for new physics at the LHC. By training diffusion models on side-band data, we show how background…

EPiC-ly Fast Particle Cloud Generation with Flow-Matching and Diffusion

Erik Buhmann, Cedric Ewen, Darius A. Faroughy +7

Jets at the LHC, typically consisting of a large number of highly correlated particles, are a fascinating laboratory for deep generative modeling. In this paper, we present two nov…
