Particle Shower

Particle showers, cascades of secondary particles produced when high-energy particles interact with matter, are crucial for understanding fundamental physics and detecting cosmic rays. Current research focuses on developing computationally efficient generative models, such as normalizing flows, diffusion models, and GANs, to simulate these showers, overcoming the limitations of traditional, resource-intensive methods like Geant4. These advancements leverage techniques like point cloud generation and super-resolution to improve simulation accuracy and speed, enabling faster analysis of large datasets from experiments like the LHC and IceCube. This improved simulation capability is vital for enhancing the precision and efficiency of particle physics research and cosmic ray detection.
