用扩散模型弱监督重建光子管波形,解决多光子重叠难题。

PMT Waveform Simulation and Reconstruction with Conditional Diffusion Network

  • 基于双向条件扩散网络,仅需原始波形和粗略光电子估计
  • 1-5个光电子时分辨率达全监督方法的99%,定时精度达80%
  • 适合缺乏标注数据的粒子物理实验波形重建任务

光电倍增管(PMT)广泛应用于粒子与核物理实验中,其波形重建精度直接影响探测器的空间和能量分辨率。当多个光子在几纳秒内到达时,难以分辨单个光电子(PE),带来挑战。尽管有监督深度学习已超越传统方法,但实际应用受限于真实数据中缺乏光电子标签。为此,我们提出一种基于双向条件扩散网络的弱监督波形仿真与重建新方法。该方法完全数据驱动,仅需原始波形和光电子的粗略估计作为输入。首先使用光电子条件扩散模型从光电子序列生成逼真的波形,学习重叠波形特征;随后利用这些模拟波形训练波形条件扩散模型,从波形中重构光电子序列,强化对重叠波形特征的学习。通过两个条件扩散过程的迭代优化,模型逐步提升重建精度。实验表明,该方法在1-5个光电子情况下,平均达到全监督方法99%的归一化光电子数分辨率,定时分辨率可达全监督方法的80%。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) are widely employed in particle and nuclear physics experiments. The accuracy of PMT waveform reconstruction directly impacts the detector's spatial and energy resolution. A key challenge arises when multiple photons arrive within a few nanoseconds, making it difficult to resolve individual photoelectrons (PEs). Although supervised deep learning methods have surpassed traditional methods in performance, their practical applicability is limited by the lack of ground-truth PE labels in real data. To address this issue, we propose an innovative weakly supervised waveform simulation and reconstruction approach based on a bidirectional conditional diffusion network framework. The method is fully data-driven and requires only raw waveforms and coarse estimates of PE information as input. It first employs a PE-conditioned diffusion model to simulate realistic waveforms from PE sequences, thereby learning the features of overlapping waveforms. Subsequently, these simulated waveforms are used to train a waveform-conditioned diffusion model to reconstruct the PE sequences from waveforms, reinforcing the learning of features of overlapping waveforms. Through iterative refinement between the two conditional diffusion processes, the model progressively improves reconstruction accuracy. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves 99% of the normalized PE-number resolution averaged over 1-5 p.e. and 80% of the timing resolution attained by fully supervised learning.
