    Panda Diplomacy: Foundation model pre-training across particle imaging detectors for high energy and nuclear physics

    Samuel Young, César Jesús-Valls, and Kazuhiro Terao
    We show that the same model architecture and self-supervised learning recipe can learn useful particle physics without any labels across three different particle detectors (LArTPC, collider TPC, and water Cherenkov). With 1,000 labeled images Panda V2 acheives or gets close to SOTA performance on a variety of downstream tasks, notably beating Panda V1 and FM4NPP.
