We present a novel approach for the integration of scattering cross sections and the generation of partonic event samples in high-energy physics. We propose an importance sampling technique capable of overcoming typical deficiencies of existing approaches by incorporating neural networks. The method guarantees full phase space coverage and the exact reproduction of the desired target distribution, in our case given by the squared transition matrix element. We study the performance of the algorithm for a few representative examples, including top-quark pair production and gluon scattering into three- and four-gluon final states.

  1. Schr\"{o}dinger Generator for High-Dimensional Integration and Sampling on Quantum Many-Body States

    nucl-th 2026-08 reject novelty 6.0 of 10

    A two-stage sampler (adaptive marginal map plus normalizing flow, then resampling) is proposed and shown on model nuclear densities up to D=624, though a core Jacobian equation appears sign-inconsistent.

  2. An Optimal Transportation Approach for Improved Confidence Intervals

    stat.ME 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Optimal-transport couplings are used to construct confidence intervals that reduce coverage error relative to classical quantile-based intervals, with consistency theory and data-driven hyperparameters.

  3. A universal vision transformer for fast calorimeter simulations

    hep-ph 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A vision-transformer flow-matching model generates calorimeter showers across regular and irregular detector geometries at millisecond speeds, and pretraining plus fine-tuning cuts training cost by about half.

  4. FASTColor -- Full-color Amplitude Surrogate Toolkit for QCD

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    An ML surrogate for the leading-to-full-color reweighting factor accelerates QCD event generation by up to a factor of two while preserving full-color accuracy.

  5. Data-parallel leading-order event generation in MadGraph5_aMC@NLO

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    CUDACPP gives MadGraph data-parallel helicity amplitudes, delivering linear SIMD CPU speed-ups and up to order-of-magnitude GPU speed-ups for high-multiplicity QCD event generation.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. HEPTAPOD: Orchestrating High Energy Physics Workflows Towards Autonomous Agency

    hep-ph 2025-12 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    HEPTAPOD uses LLM agents to drive FeynRules, MadGraph, Pythia, and analysis tools through schema-validated tool calls and run-card templates, demonstrated on a leptoquark signal scan.
