Machine learning models accelerate Muon Collider background simulations

Researchers have developed new machine learning models to accelerate the simulation of beam-induced background (BIB) for a future Muon Collider. These models, including a diffusion model and a circular spline flow model, can generate BIB data significantly faster than traditional methods, potentially reducing simulation time by over an order of magnitude. The developed models and their weights are being released to the physics community to aid in the development of event reconstruction algorithms. AI

    Fast BIB simulation at a future Muon Collider with generative machine learning

    arXiv:2609.12054v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Beam-induced background (BIB) from muon decay products will be an overwhelming and unavoidable background at a future Muon Collider. In order to develop robust event reconstruction algorithms, we need large amounts of accurate BIB…
