Find your own flow - Generative networks for better precision simulations
Abstract:
First-principle simulations link the vast data output of multi-purpose detectors with fundamental theory predictions and interpretation. In order to meet the unprecedented precision requirements of future LHC runs, new ideas and tools based on neural networks have been developed at the interface of particle physics and machine learning. Generative networks, in particular normalizing flows, can improve the speed and precision of forward simulations and handle the complexity of collision data. Such networks can be employed to improve integrations in loop calculations, perform subtractions of sample based distributions and enhance the unweighting efficiency of simulations. A major challenge for these tasks is the achievement of high-precision and the assessment of network related uncertainties. Since normalizing flows can be inverted, they will open new avenues in LHC analyses from the unfolding of data to applications of the matrix element method.

What are the indirect hints of new physics telling us?
Abstract:
Despite thousands of verification with measurements, there exist some clear indications that the framework of the Standard Model of particle physics is not complete. In this colloquium, I would highlight how some of these indications can be correlated with the recent tensions observed in the flavor sector. I would then categorize the possible directions; firstly in which experimental inputs are required, secondly, predictions from theory side especially for the non-perturbative physics are essential in order to understand the dynamics of the underlying theory.
