Scaling Collider Event Generation with Residual-Quantized Tokens

Excerpt

arXiv:2610.00569v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Full detector simulation and reconstruction of collider events are projected to become major bottlenecks at the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider, motivating the development of fast, ML-based surrogates. At the same time, LLMs have driven fast progress in generative discrete modeling: autoregressive transformers trained on tokenized data now represent the state of the art across a range of generative tasks. We extend the discrete modeling par
