μ子对撞机研究涵盖加速器物理、探测器技术与高能现象学,相关证据分散于快速扩张且异构的科学文献中。随着高能物理(HEP)日益采用代理辅助分析流程,高效定位、整合与验证科学证据成为关键能力。尽管检索增强生成(RAG)为科学问答提供了前景,但如何在不牺牲检索精度的前提下融入代理推理仍是挑战。本文提出面向μ子对撞机研究的代理混合RAG框架,结合稀疏关键词与稠密语义的混合检索器,以及用于查询分解、证据扩展和可证伪答案生成的代理推理模块。为支持系统评估,我们构建了首个μ子对撞机领域的检索增强科学问答基准,包含精选文献语料库及针对探测器与物理研究核心主题的检索与回答基准。大量实验表明,混合检索提供最强检索基础,代理推理在受控证据扩展与答案合成中表现最优。基于此原则,代理混合RAG在检索效果、答案质量、证据覆盖与事实准确性方面持续优于代表性检索与RAG基线。该框架与基准共同为可证伪科学问答及未来大规模科学文献上的高能物理分析代理奠定了基础。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Muon collider research spans accelerator physics, detector instrumentation, and high-energy phenomenology, with relevant evidence scattered across a rapidly expanding and heterogeneous body of scientific literature. As high-energy physics (HEP) increasingly explores agent-assisted analysis workflows, efficiently locating, integrating, and verifying scientific evidence becomes an essential capability. While retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) offers a promising framework for scientific question answering, integrating agentic reasoning without compromising retrieval precision remains a key challenge. In this work, we present agentic hybrid RAG, an evidence-grounded RAG framework for muon collider research. The framework combines a hybrid retriever, integrating sparse lexical and dense semantic retrieval, with an agentic reasoning module for query decomposition, evidence expansion, and grounded answer generation. To enable systematic evaluation, we construct the first benchmark for retrieval-augmented scientific question answering in the muon collider domain, comprising a curated literature corpus together with dedicated retrieval and answer-generation benchmarks covering major detector and physics research topics. Extensive evaluation shows that hybrid retrieval provides the strongest retrieval backbone, while agentic reasoning is most effective for controlled evidence expansion and answer synthesis. Built on this principle, agentic hybrid RAG consistently outperforms representative retrieval and RAG baselines in retrieval effectiveness, answer quality, evidence coverage, and factual grounding. Together, the benchmark and framework provide a foundation for evidence-grounded scientific question answering and future HEP analysis agents operating over large-scale scientific literature.
