Description

Generative machine learning models offer a promising way to simulate events. Given the already high computational cost of simulation and the expected increase in data in the high-precision era of the LHC and at future colliders, such fast surrogate simulators are urgently needed.

This contribution presents initial progress towards accurately simulating of hadronic showers in a highly granular scintillator calorimeter for future colliders. We used two generative models in this study: a Wasserstein-GAN (WGAN) and Bounded Information Bottleneck Autoencoder (BIB-AE). Then we compare the achieved simulation quality before and after interfacing with the state-of-the-art pattern recognition algorithm used by ILD, the so-called PandoraPFA. This brings generative models one step closer to practical applications.
