Description

The simulation of calorimeters using standard Monte Carlo based methods is expected to create a major computational bottleneck at the next generation of collider experiments, motivating the development of alternative approaches. Surrogate simulators based on deep generative models could potentially provide significant computational speedups- however the highly granular nature of many future detectors poses a major challenge in terms of the degree of physical fidelity required. This contribution reports progress on the simulation of both electromagnetic and hadronic showers, as well as steps taken to broaden the scope of these simulators, for example when conditioning a model on multiple parameters.
