New Combinatorial Residual Network Classifier Developed for Particle Physics

Researchers have developed a new classifier called the Combinatorial Residual Network (CoReNet) designed to handle complex combinatorial problems in particle physics, specifically for identifying the decay chains of heavy particles. This network architecture encodes the assumed decay hierarchy, allowing it to evaluate all jet assignment hypotheses with shared weights and combine them using learned weights. CoReNet demonstrates strong performance on simulated Higgs boson pair production and $HH o bar{b}W^+W^-$ events, outperforming larger transformer-based networks while requiring significantly fewer parameters and training time.

    Combinatorial Residual Network: a decay-chain-aware classifier without explicit jet assignment

    arXiv:2610.40749v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Final states with several jets from the decays of heavy particles pose a combinatorial problem, since the jets must be assigned, at least implicitly, to their parent particles. We describe the Combinatorial Residual Network (CoReN…
