End-to-end event reconstruction for precision physics at future colliders
Unlock Precision Physics with End-to-End AI Event Reconstruction
This paper introduces HITPF, a novel end-to-end global event reconstruction method for future colliders like FCC-ee. It uses geometric algebra transformer networks and object condensation to map detector hits directly to particle-level objects, bypassing traditional, detector-specific clustering. Benchmarked on fully simulated electron-positron collisions at FCC-ee, HITPF significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art PANDORAPFA algorithm, achieving 10-20% higher reconstruction efficiency, up to two orders of magnitude reduction in fake-particle rates, and a 22% improvement in visible energy and invariant mass resolution. This approach offers rapid iteration during detector design by decoupling reconstruction performance from detector-specific tuning.
Executive Impact & Innovation
HITPF's cutting-edge approach delivers significant improvements critical for next-generation physics experiments.

HITPF employs a two-stage process: first, a geometric algebra transformer network combined with object condensation clustering assigns hits to particle candidates; second, dedicated networks perform particle identification and energy regression. This bypasses traditional, detector-specific clustering, making it more adaptable to new detector concepts.

Benchmarked on fully simulated electron-positron collisions at FCC-ee, HITPF significantly improves upon state-of-the-art algorithms. It shows marked gains in reconstruction efficiency for charged and neutral hadrons, drastic reduction in fake rates, and a 22% improvement in event-level visible mass and energy resolution.
Overall Performance Gain
22% Improved Visible Mass ResolutionAddressing Shower Overlap (Example: KL and photon)
Context: In dense hadronic environments, particle showers often overlap, leading to misreconstruction. PANDORAPFA tends to merge nearby showers, overestimating energy and degrading resolution.
Solution: HITPF effectively disentangles overlapping showers, correctly resolving individual particles (e.g., a KL and a photon) where PANDORAPFA merges them. This reduces fake energy and improves energy estimation accuracy.
Impact: This capability is crucial for precision measurements of rare hadronic Higgs decays and other high-multiplicity final states.
