Abstract

In this work we demonstrate that a single transformer-based generative model can capture Standard Model structure spanning five decades of invariant mass, from the sub-GeV regime to the TeV continuum, a range that no single Monte Carlo sample covers. To achieve this we design ShellFlow, a Riemannian conditional flow matching model that, given the recorded event composition, generates each particle on its on-shell manifold. Its only physics priors are the on-shell condition and the invariant-mass formula. The model is trained on sim 10^{9} real pp collision events from the ATLAS Open Data 13~TeV release and told nothing else. From a single training run, the model learns to reproduce all of the following: intra-particle kinematics, the dilepton resonances (J/ψ, Υ, Z) at their PDG positions, the leptonic Weinberg angle, the W and top-quark masses, and inter-particle correlations that enter no training objective. A substantial fraction of the Standard Model is thus learnable directly from recorded collision data.
