A Phase-Space Inclusive Figure of Merit Based in Optimal Transport for Validating Monte Carlo Reweightings
Rishabh Jain, Lauren Hay, Matt LeBlanc +1
Validating whether the underlying physics of a model has been retained after a full phase-space reweighting poses a unique challenge. Often, validation relies on comparing histogra…

Optimizing Cell-Based Negative Weight Mitigation with Optimal Transport
Lauren Hay, Rishabh Jain, Matt LeBlanc +1
As the accuracy of experimental results in high energy physics (HEP) increases, so does the demand for precision Monte Carlo (MC) simulation. Higher-accuracy event generation at ne…

Optimal-Transport-Based Cell Resampling for Negative and Pathological Event Weights
Regan Doherty, Lauren Hay, Rishabh Jain +4
Negative and pathologically large Monte Carlo event weights strain the computing budgets of experiments at the Large Hadron Collider. Cell resampling algorithms locally redistribut…
