模拟探测器响应是理解大型强子对撞机（CERN）中粒子碰撞机制的关键环节。当前主要依赖计算成本高的蒙特卡洛统计方法，对欧洲核子研究中心的计算资源造成巨大压力。为此，近年研究提出用生成式机器学习方法实现更高效的仿真。然而，模拟数据分布差异大，现有通用方法难以捕捉。本文提出ExpertSim——一种针对ALICE实验零度量能器的深度学习仿真方法。该方法采用生成式专家混合架构，每个专家专注于特定数据子集的仿真，从而实现更高精度与效率。结果表明，ExpertSim在保持高精度的同时，显著优于传统蒙特卡洛方法，为高能物理实验中的高效探测器仿真提供了可行方案。代码已开源：https://github.com/patrick-bedkowski/expertsim-mix-of-generative-experts。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Simulating detector responses is a crucial part of understanding the inner workings of particle collisions in the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. Such simulations are currently performed with statistical Monte Carlo methods, which are computationally expensive and put a significant strain on CERN's computational grid. Therefore, recent proposals advocate for generative machine learning methods to enable more efficient simulations. However, the distribution of the data varies significantly across the simulations, which is hard to capture with out-of-the-box methods. In this study, we present ExpertSim - a deep learning simulation approach tailored for the Zero Degree Calorimeter in the ALICE experiment. Our method utilizes a Mixture-of-Generative-Experts architecture, where each expert specializes in simulating a different subset of the data. This allows for a more precise and efficient generation process, as each expert focuses on a specific aspect of the calorimeter response. ExpertSim not only improves accuracy, but also provides a significant speedup compared to the traditional Monte-Carlo methods, offering a promising solution for high-efficiency detector simulations in particle physics experiments at CERN. We make the code available at https://github.com/patrick-bedkowski/expertsim-mix-of-generative-experts.
