Diffusion model extracts particle momentum distributions from raw data

Researchers have developed a novel conditional diffusion model to extract transverse momentum dependent parton distribution functions (TMD PDFs) from raw scattering event data. This method bypasses traditional parameterized functional forms, offering greater flexibility and simplifying uncertainty quantification. Tested on simulated data from the Electron-Ion Collider's CLAS12 experiment, the model accurately recovers underlying TMDs and provides reliable estimates even with limited event statistics, making it relevant for ongoing and future experiments. AI

IMPACT This method could accelerate the analysis of complex experimental data in high-energy physics, enabling faster discoveries.
