Exploring the Boundaries of Differentiable Radiation Transport and Detector Simulation
Jeffrey Krupa, Yiyang Zhao, Mihaly Novak +9
We present an application of automatic differentiation for particle transport through matter using a Geant4-like radiation transport simulation with a full electromagnetic physics…
Toward the End-To-End Optimization of the SWGO Array Layout
Tommaso Dorigo, Max Aehle, Cornelia Arcaro +13
In this document we consider the problem of finding the optimal layout for the array of water Cherenkov detectors proposed by the SWGO collaboration to study very-high-energy gamma…
Reconstruction of proton relative stopping power with a granular calorimeter detector model
M. Aehle, J. Alme, G. G. Barnaföldi +49
Proton computed tomography (pCT) aims to facilitate precise dose planning for hadron therapy, a promising and effective method for cancer treatment. Hadron therapy utilizes protons…
End-to-End Detector Optimization with Diffusion models: A Case Study in Sampling Calorimeters
Kylian Schmidt, Nikhil Kota, Jan Kieseler +16
Recent advances in machine learning have opened new avenues for optimizing detector designs in high-energy physics, where the complex interplay of geometry, materials, and physics…
Neuromorphic Readout for Hadron Calorimeters
Enrico Lupi, Abhishek, Max Aehle +17
We simulate hadrons impinging on a homogeneous lead-tungstate (PbWO4) calorimeter to investigate how the resulting light yield and its temporal structure, as detected by an array o…
Hadron Identification Prospects With Granular Calorimeters
Andrea De Vita, Abhishek, Max Aehle +15
In this work we consider the problem of determining the identity of hadrons at high energies based on the topology of their energy depositions in dense matter, along with the time…
