Graph neural networks (GNNs) have gained traction in high-energy physics (HEP) for their potential to improve accuracy and scalability. However, their resource-intensive nature and complex operations have motivated the development of symmetry-equivariant architectures. In this work, we introduce EuclidNet, a novel symmetry-equivariant GNN for charged particle tracking. EuclidNet leverages the graph representation of collision events and enforces rotational symmetry with respect to the detector's beamline axis, leading to a more efficient model. We benchmark EuclidNet against the state-of-the-art Interaction Network on the TrackML dataset, which simulates high-pileup conditions expected at the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC). Our results show that EuclidNet achieves near-state-of-the-art performance at small model scales (<1000 parameters), outperforming the non-equivariant benchmarks. This study paves the way for future investigations into more resource-efficient GNN models for particle tracking in HEP experiments.

First tracking performance results from the ATLAS Fast TracKer
大型强子对撞机的粒子物理学家通过将高能质子束碰撞在一起并观察碰撞的衰变产物来研究亚原子长度尺度下物质的性质。ATLAS是重建相互作用的两个通用探测器之一,作为广泛物理目标的一部分,测量希格斯玻色子的产生并寻找奇异的新现象,包括超对称性、时空的额外维度和暗物质。使用基于硬件和软件的触发器选择有趣的碰撞事件是一个主要挑战,随着未来数据中亮度的增加,这将变得更加困难。ATLAS Fast TracKer(FTK)是一种定制的电子系统,可对带电粒子进行基于硬件的快速跟踪,用于触发决策。2018年,使用质子-质子碰撞安装并调试了覆盖ATLAS探测器部分的两个FTK“Slices”,为运行3中的物理数据采集做准备。给出了FTK跟踪算法的寻轨和航迹拟合策略以及FTK切片的跟踪性能。讨论了在未来数据中应对变化的波束点和其他条件的策略。还提出了一种用于触发长寿命粒子的位移轨道的策略。
