Beyond 4D Tracking: Using Cluster Shapes for Track Seeding
Patrick J. Fox, Shangqing Huang, Joshua Isaacson +2
Tracking is one of the most time consuming aspects of event reconstruction at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and its high-luminosity upgrade (HL-LHC). Innovative detector technolo…
Summary of Workshop on Common Neutrino Event Generator Tools
Josh Barrow, Minerba Betancourt, Linda Cremonesi +20
A neutrino community workshop was held at Fermilab in Jan 2020, with the aim of developing an implementation plan for a set of common interfaces to Neutrino Event Generators. This…
A quantum Monte Carlo based approach to intranuclear cascades
Joshua Isaacson, William I. Jay, Alessandro Lovato +2
We propose a novel approach to intranuclear cascades which takes as input quantum MonteCarlo nuclear configurations and uses a semi-classical, impact-parameter based algorithm to m…
Event Generation with Normalizing Flows
Christina Gao, Stefan Hoeche, Joshua Isaacson +2
We present a novel integrator based on normalizing flows which can be used to improve the unweighting efficiency of Monte-Carlo event generators for collider physics simulations. I…
i-flow: High-dimensional Integration and Sampling with Normalizing Flows
Christina Gao, Joshua Isaacson, Claudius Krause
In many fields of science, high-dimensional integration is required. Numerical methods have been developed to evaluate these complex integrals. We introduce the code i-flow, a pyth…
