摘要:

中微子振荡编码了关于中微子质量和混合参数的基本信息,为标准模型之外的物理提供独特窗口。然而,从振荡概率地图估计这些参数在计算上具有挑战性,因为这些地图的高维性和非线性依赖于底层物理。传统推断方法,如基于似然或蒙特卡洛采样方法,需要大量模拟来探索参数空间,成为大规模分析的主要瓶颈。在本文中,我们介绍了一种数据驱动的框架,将大气中微子振荡参数推断重新表述为对结构化振荡地图的监督回归任务。我们提出了一种分层变换器架构,明确建模这些地图的二维结构,捕捉固定能量下的角度依赖性和能量谱中的全局相关性。为了提高物理一致性,模型通过代理模拟约束进行训练,确保预测参数与重构的振荡模式一致。此外,我们引入了基于神经网络的不确定性量化机制,生成分布自由的预测区间,并具有正式的覆盖保证。在模拟的振荡地图下,实验表明所提出的方法在估计准确性上与马尔可夫链蒙特卡洛基线相当,但在计算成本上有显著改进(约240倍更少的FLOPs和33倍更快的平均处理时间)。此外,符合校准的预测区间保持狭窄,同时达到目标90%的名义覆盖,证实了方法的可靠性和效率。

英文摘要:

Neutrino oscillations encode fundamental information about neutrino masses and mixing parameters, offering a unique window into physics beyond the Standard Model. Estimating these parameters from oscillation probability maps is, however, computationally challenging due to the maps' high dimensionality and nonlinear dependence on the underlying physics. Traditional inference methods, such as likelihood-based or Monte Carlo sampling approaches, require extensive simulations to explore the parameter space, creating major bottlenecks for large-scale analyses. In this work, we introduce a data-driven framework that reformulates atmospheric neutrino oscillation parameter inference as a supervised regression task over structured oscillation maps. We propose a hierarchical transformer architecture that explicitly models the two-dimensional structure of these maps, capturing angular dependencies at fixed energies and global correlations across the energy spectrum. To improve physical consistency, the model is trained using a surrogate simulation constraint that enforces agreement between the predicted parameters and the reconstructed oscillation patterns. Furthermore, we introduce a neural network-based uncertainty quantification mechanism that produces distribution-free prediction intervals with formal coverage guarantees. Experiments on simulated oscillation maps under Earth-matter conditions demonstrate that the proposed method is comparable to a Markov Chain Monte Carlo baseline in estimation accuracy, with substantial improvements in computational cost (around 240$\times$ fewer FLOPs and 33$\times$ faster in average processing time). Moreover, the conformally calibrated prediction intervals remain narrow while achieving the target nominal coverage of 90%, confirming both the reliability and efficiency of our approach.
