Article Summary

In particle collider experiments, event reconstruction is the task of inferring the kinematics of short-lived particles produced in the hard scatter from the stable final states recorded by detectors. We decompose event reconstruction into two primary tasks: assigning measured jets and charged leptons to parent particles, and predicting unmeasured neutrino kinematics. We present VyPER, a novel geometric learning framework that represents collider events as hypergraphs with a physics-inspired topology. VyPER combines the supervised classification of hyperedges for particle assignment with a diffusion model for predicting neutrino kinematics, leveraging a joint loss function to optimize both reconstruction tasks within a unified framework. We showcase VyPER across several proton-proton collision processes, comparing its performance to existing analytical and machine-learning-based reconstruction techniques. In doing so, we demonstrate that accurate event reconstruction is achievable across a diverse range of Standard Model physics processes, opening new avenues for precision measurements in the Higgs boson, electroweak, and top-quark sectors.
