Computational Particle Physics for Event Generators and Data Analysis [PDF]
High-energy physics data analysis relies heavily on the comparison between experimental and simulated data as stressed lately by the Higgs search at LHC and the recent identification of a Higgs-like new boson.

Event-by-Event Investigation of the Two-Particle Source Function in Heavy-Ion Collisions with EPOS [PDF]
Exploring the shape of the pair-source function for particles such as pions or kaons has been an important goal of heavy-ion physics, and substantial effort has been made in order to understand the underlying physics behind the experimental observations ...

Baryon production from cluster hadronisation [PDF]

Black hole evaporation beyond the Standard Model of particle physics [PDF]
The observation of an evaporating black hole would provide definitive information on the elementary particles present in nature. In particular, it could discover or exclude particles beyond those present in the standard model of particle physics.

Challenges for unsupervised anomaly detection in particle physics [PDF]
Anomaly detection relies on designing a score to determine whether a particular event is uncharacteristic of a given background distribution. One way to define a score is to use autoencoders, which rely on the ability to reconstruct certain types of data

Theoretical tools for neutrino scattering: interplay between lattice QCD, EFTs, nuclear physics, phenomenology, and neutrino event generators [PDF]
Maximizing the discovery potential of increasingly precise neutrino experiments will require an improved theoretical understanding of neutrino-nucleus cross sections over a wide range of energies.
