Fast simulations which can accurately model jet substructure are will be of utmost importance for boosted jet analyses at the HL-LHC. There has been significant development recently in generative models for accelerating LHC simulations, but less explored are methods for validating these simulations. We present a rigorous study on evaluation metrics, and discuss the novel Frechet and kernel...
The FORMOSA detector at the proposed Forward Physics Facility is a scintillator based detector proposed to search for signatures from high momentum millicharged particles produced in the forward region of the LHC. This talk will cover the challenges of operating such a detector in the forward region, impressive potential sensitivity, and plans for a FORMOSA demonstrator to prove the...
We deploy machine learning techniques to design the hadronic calorimeter for future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). Tradition method of detector design relies on computationally expensive simulation using Geant4 package. Furthermore, the output of these simulations is not differentiable, and thus cannot be optimized using gradient-based technique. To overcome this hurdle, we are using generative...
