PDFFlow: parton distribution functions on GPU
We present PDFFlow, a new software for fast evaluation of parton distribution functions (PDFs) designed for platforms with hardware accelerators. PDFs are essential for the calculation of particle physics observables through Monte Carlo simulation techniques. The evaluation of a generic set of PDFs for quarks and gluon at a given momentum fraction and energy scale requires the implementation of interpolation algorithms as introduced for the first time by the LHAPDF project. PDFFlow extends and implements these interpolation algorithms using Google's TensorFlow library providing the capabilities to perform PDF evaluations taking fully advantage of multi-threading CPU and GPU setups. We benchmark the performance of this library on multiple scenarios relevant for the particle physics community.

In this proceedings we describe the computational challenges associated to the determination of parton distribution functions (PDFs). We compare the performance of the convolution of the parton distributions with matrix …
Normalizing Flows to Reconstruct Pseudo-PDFs
We investigate a normalizing-flow approach for reconstructing parton distribution functions (PDFs) from synthetic matrix-element data. Our framework combines Gaussian Process priors with invertible neural networks to lea…
Learning Transverse Momentum Distributions from Raw Scattering Events via Conditional Diffusion
Extracting transverse momentum dependent parton distribution functions (TMD PDFs) from semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering (SIDIS) data is a central goal of the nucleon structure program at Jefferson Lab and the fut…
Learning Partonomic 3D Reconstruction from Image Collections
Reconstructing the 3D shape of an object from a single-view image is a fundamental task in computer vision. Recent advances in differentiable rendering have enabled 3D reconstruction from image collections using only…
