Optimal Transport and the Geometry of Collider Data - LivestreamCollider experiments probe physics at the shortest distances by smashing protons together and measuring the debris produced by the collisions. However, it is challenging to infer the detailed short-distance physics from the distribution of debris measured by the detector. Over the past two years, the mathematical field of optimal transport ...
