Simulation is the crucial connection between particle physics theory and experiment. Our ability to simulate particle collision based on first principles allows us to analyze and understand the vast amount of data of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiments. This, however, comes at a cost: A lot of computational resources are needed to simulate all necessary interactions to the required...

Poster + application for talk session

The structure of low-nuclear density nuclear matter is of great importance to the physics of neutron star crusts. One of the important aspects of this structure is the transition from roughly spherical neutron rich nuclei to uniform matter. Models for both of these extremes exist but the transition is less easily understood. In this presentation I will discuss my results from variational Monte...

20. CMS FlashSim: end-to-end simulation with ML

Poster + application for talk session

Detailed event simulation at the LHC is taking a large fraction of computing budget. CMS developed an end-to-end ML based simulation that can speed up the time for production of analysis samples of several orders of magnitude with a limited loss of accuracy. As the CMS experiment is adopting a common analysis level format, the NANOAOD, for a larger number of analyses, such an event...
