Hadron Shower Simulation Data for Generative Models in Fundamental Physics

Data set containing pion calorimeter showers used to train and evaluate our generative models for our Hadrons, Better, Faster, Stronger publication. Complete dataset consist of three hdf5 files:

pion_train_uniform.hdf5 contains showers originating form pions with a uniformly distributed energy ranging form 10 GeV to 100 GeV. This set was used to train the models.

pion_eval_uniform.hdf5 contains showers originating form pions with a uniformly distributed energy ranging form 10 GeV to 100 GeV. This set was used to evaluate the models.

pion_eval_steps20to90.hdf5 contains showers originating form pions with discrete energies ranging form 20 GeV to 90 GeV in steps of 10 GeV. This set was used to evaluate the models.

Each file contains a group called 'hcal_only'. This group has two dataset, 'energy' which contains the energy of the pions in GeV and 'layers' which contains the shower images, projected onto a 48x48x48 grid. For our model training this was reduced to 48x25x25 via slicing. The entries correspond to energy depositions in MeV.
