Researchers have developed AllShowers, a novel unified generative model designed to simulate calorimeter showers across multiple particle types within a single framework. This model utilizes a Transformer architecture and continuous normalizing flows to generate complex spatial and energy correlations, overcoming the limitations of traditional models that require separate networks for each particle species. Trained on data from the ILD detector, AllShowers demonstrates the capability to produce realistic simulations for electrons, photons, and hadrons without retraining, and notably surpasses previous models in fidelity for hadronic showers.
