We introduce a model of hadronization based on invertible neural networks that faithfully reproduces a simplified version of the Lund string model for meson hadronization. Additionally, we introduce a new training method for normalizing flows, termed MAGIC, that improves the agreement between simulated and experimental distributions of high-level (macroscopic) observables by adjusting single-emission (microscopic) dynamics. Our results constitute an important step toward realizing a machine-learning based model of hadronization that utilizes experimental data during training. Finally, we demonstrate how a Bayesian extension to this normalizing-flow architecture can be used to provide analysis of statistical and modeling uncertainties on the generated observable distributions.

Unbinned extraction of $\gamma$ from $B\to DK$ with normalizing flows
Normalizing flows trained on D decay data create a continuous unbinned model of Dalitz plot amplitudes, allowing extraction of gamma from B decay data with successful recovery of injected values in Monte Carlo tests.
