用专家混合与高效微调构建可扩展的量能器模拟基础模型

Modern particle physics experiments face an increasing demand for high-fidelity detector simulation as luminosities rise and computational requirements approach the limits of available resources. Deep generative models have emerged as promising surrogates for traditional Monte Carlo simulation, with recent advances drawing inspiration from large language models (LLM) and next-token prediction paradigms. In this work, we introduce a generalizable foundation model for calorimetry built on next-token transformer backbones, designed to support modular adaptation across materials, particle species, and detector configurations. Our approach combines Mixture-of-Experts pre-training with parameter-efficient fine-tuning strategies to enable controlled, additive model expansion without catastrophic forgetting. A pre-trained backbone is trained to generate electromagnetic showers across multiple absorber materials, while new materials are incorporated through the addition and tuning of lightweight expert modules. Extensions to new particle types are achieved via parameter-efficient fine-tuning and modular vocabularies, preserving the integrity of the base model. This design enables efficient, incremental knowledge integration as new simulation datasets become available, a critical requirement in realistic detector-development workflows. In addition, we demonstrate that next-token calorimeter models are computationally competitive with standard generative approaches under established LLM optimization procedures. These results establish next-token architectures as a viable path toward extensible, physics-aware foundation models for calorimetry and future high-energy physics experiments.
