Event generation with neural networks has seen significant progress recently. The big open question is still how such new methods will accelerate LHC simulations to the level required by upcoming LHC runs. We target a known bottleneck of standard simulations and show how their unweighting procedure can be improved by generative networks. This can, potentially, lead to a very significant gain in simulation speed.

  1. Neural Control Variates at LO and NLO

    hep-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    Signed neural control variates from normalizing flows, combined with neural importance sampling, reduce weight ranges and negative weights for LO and NLO phase-space integration and event generation.

  2. Agentic Re-Casting using Agentic Re-Simulations

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    An agentic AI system with a physicist in the loop re-casts an ATLAS ttZ measurement into a global top-quark SMEFT fit and recovers injected coloron Wilson coefficients in a repeatable benchmark.

  3. A Demonstration of ARCANE Reweighting: Reducing the Sign Problem in the MC@NLO Generation of $e^+ e^- \rightarrow q \bar{q} + 1\, jet$ Events

    hep-ph 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    ARCANE reweighting cuts the post-unweighting negative-event fraction in e+e- -> q qbar + 1 jet MC@NLO generation from about 2.25% to below 10^-5 while preserving the visible event distributions.

  4. ARCANE Reweighting: A Monte Carlo Technique to Tackle the Negative Weights Problem in Collider Event Generation

    hep-ph 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    ARCANE reweighting adds a carefully designed, zero-average correction to event weights so that positive and negative pathways to the same event cancel, preserving all physical distributions.
