A factorisation-aware matrix element emulator (FAME)

This is the project repository to accompany the article {}. In the article we describe in detail the construction of an emulator built using neural networks to emulate electron-positron annihilation into 5 jets.

Here we provide Python code to replicate our strategy.

Requirements

FAME requires the following packages to run:

• Python 3.6+
• NJet 2.1.0+
  • Other matrix element providers will also work, although we have interfaced with NJet in our examples.

Installation

1. Clone the repo
2. Install with pip:

   pip install -e .
   

3. Point to your NJet installation in:

   src/fame/utilities/njet_functions.py
   

Usage

An example Jupyter notebook is provided in

src/fame/notebooks/quickstart_notebook.ipynb

which runs through the necessary steps to construct the emulator.
