Nilotpal Kakati, Etienne Dreyer, Eilam Gross

Accurately reconstructing particles from detector data is a critical challenge in experimental particle physics, where the spatial resolution of calorimeters has a crucial impact. This study explores the integration of super-resolution techniques into an LHC-like reconstruction pipeline to effectively enhance the granularity of calorimeter data and suppress noise. We find that this software preprocessing step can significantly improve reconstruction quality without physical changes to detectors. To demonstrate the impact of our approach, we propose a novel particle flow model that offers enhanced particle reconstruction quality and interpretability. These advancements underline the potential of super-resolution to impact both current and future particle physics experiments.
