| # Trigger Anomaly Detection for New Physics at the Large Hadron Collider |
|
|
| *This dataset is a mirror of the Zenodo record: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.21787779* |
|
|
| This dataset contains Level-1 Trigger objects from the CMS experiment at the CERN Large |
| Hadron Collider, assembled for research on unsupervised anomaly detection in the |
| trigger. The goal of unsupervised anomaly detection in this context is the discovery of |
| new physics. **This data set does not contain new physics. It is meant for research on |
| anomaly detectors.** |
|
|
| In the new physics search context, recording true anomalies or simulating them is |
| impossible, compared to other settings (e.g. industrial applications of anomaly |
| detection) where this is commonly done. Anomaly simulation data sets are provided, but |
| they should be used with the aforementioned caveat in mind. Aside from its high |
| statistics, **this data set uniquely provides simulations of the normal data**. |
|
|
| * **normal data**: zero-bias events recorded during 2025 proton–proton running (runs |
| 396102, 398183); these events are chosen at random from all the proton-proton collisions |
| that happen inside the CMS detector and are recorded by it. |
|
|
| * **anomaly simulations**: 20 simulated signal data sets covering Higgs, multi-Higgs, |
| SUSY and exotic scenarios from the CMS Run 3 Winter25 campaign. |
|
|
| * **normal data simulation**: one simulated zero-bias-like background sample |
| (SingleNeutrino). |
|
|
| The normal data has 20,887,636 events. The normal data simulation has 2,000,000 events. |
| The 20 anomaly simulations amount to 13,012,931 events. |
|
|
| Each event provides particle level and event information, as recorded by the trigger. |
| The data is published pre-partitioned into training, validation and test splits: the |
| zero-bias data 60/20/20, the simulated samples 60/40 between validation and test. All |
| the feature values are in the trigger-native format of hardware integers. |
|
|
| Specific technical data can be found in the github repo that was used to produce this |
| data: https://github.com/bb511/adl1t_datamaker |
| |
| ## Comparison with other algorithms |
| |
| The level-1 trigger contains around 180 algorithms that take data like the one in this |
| record and output a decision. These algorithms were applied to every event in the |
| presented data sets as well. Their results are in the `-seeds` configs and can be used |
| to do comparative studies with other live algorithms currently running in the CMS |
| trigger. Skip them if you want kinematics alone and do not want to compare your anomaly |
| detector with the rest of the algorithms. |
| |
| Row *i* of `<data set>-seeds` is row *i* of `<data set>`, which is the correspondence |
| that always holds. Neither column is a key on its own: every event the standard |
| preprocessing dropped carries `order = -1`, and `event` cycles over a hundred values in |
| `ggH-suep-decay`, `haa-4b-ma15` and `smj-case-A`. Among the rows with `order >= 0` it is |
| unique within a split, so a filter or a shuffle can be undone by joining on `order` once |
| those rows are set aside. |
| |
| ## Loading |
| |
| Every data set is a configuration of its own, and every one of them has a `-seeds` twin |
| holding the other algorithm decisions for the same events in the same order. |
| |
| ```python |
| from datasets import load_dataset |
| normal = load_dataset("podagiu/anomaly_detection_cmsl1t", "ZB_run396102", split="train") |
| signal = load_dataset("podagiu/anomaly_detection_cmsl1t", "WtoTauto3Mu", split="validation") |
| menu = load_dataset("podagiu/anomaly_detection_cmsl1t", "WtoTauto3Mu-seeds", split="validation") |
| ``` |
| |
| HuggingFace calls the middle split `validation` while our files call it 'valid'. We also |
| include a dataloader that we used for performing anomaly detection trigger development |
| on this data. It reads the data, applies our cuts and normalisation, and stacks the |
| collections into pytorch tensors that can be directly fed into models. |
| |
| ```python |
| import sys |
| from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download |
| from hydra import compose, initialize_config_dir |
| from hydra.utils import instantiate |
| record = snapshot_download("podagiu/anomaly_detection_cmsl1t", repo_type="dataset") |
| sys.path.insert(0, record) # the configs name loader.*, so the record has to be importable |
| with initialize_config_dir(config_dir=record + "/configs", version_base=None): |
| cfg = compose("config", overrides=["paths.root_dir=" + record]) |
| data = instantiate(cfg.data) |
| data.prepare() |
| train = data.load("train") |
| ``` |
| |
| `prepare` reads the whole record and caches each stage under `./cache`, which the |
| `ADL1T_CACHE` environment variable moves elsewhere; allow it a few times the record's |
| size on disk. `train` then has `x`, the model input, of shape (events, 39, 3) under the |
| `basis` configuration, its padding `mask`, whether the event passed ANY other algorithm |
| in the trigger `l1bit` and the label `y` (0 for zerobias, > 0 for anomalies, < 0 for |
| zerobias simulation). `data.load_aux("valid")` returns the same for every simulated |
| sample. The pipeline needs python 3.10 or newer with `awkward`, `pyarrow`, `numpy`, |
| `torch`, `omegaconf` and `hydra-core`, which `pip install -r requirements.txt` at the |
| record's root installs. **If you would just rather read the raw data, you need none of |
| the above dependencies.** Just call `load_dataset`. |
| |
| ## Layout |
| |
| ``` |
| data/<data set>/<split>-NNNNN-of-NNNNN.parquet |
| data/<data set>/seeds/<split>-NNNNN-of-NNNNN.parquet |
| loader/ |
| configs/ |
| requirements.txt |
| ``` |
| |
| One row is one event. The four object collections are jagged, holding one entry per |
| in-time object up to the global trigger's capacity of 8 muons, 12 jets, 12 e-gammas and |
| 12 taus, with no padding and no truncation. The energy sums are collections too, of one |
| entry each. The event information, the trigger's verdict and every seed are plain |
| values. |
| |
| ## Columns |
| |
| | column | holds | |
| |---|---| |
| | `<collection>_<branch>` | one collection's features, e.g. `muons_muonIEt` or `jets_jetIEta`. The collections are `muons`, `jets`, `egammas`, `taus` and the energy sums `ET`, `HT`, `MET`, `MHT`, `FET`, `FHT`, and the branch names are the trigger's own | |
| | `run`, `lumi`, `event`, `bx`, `orbit`, `time`, `nPV_True` | event information, carried without a prefix | |
| | `split`, `order` | the published partition and the position within it, described below | |
| | `L1bit` | whether the trigger menu accepted the event, i.e. the OR over its algorithms | |
| | `dataset` | the data set the row came from, so that a concatenation stays self-describing | |
| | `label` | 0 for zero bias, negative for a simulated background, positive for a signal | |
| |
| **A column prefixed by a collection is a list, and every other column is a plain |
| value.** The collections have one entry per object in the event. The energy sums have a |
| single entry (list with one value). Everything else holds one value: `row["L1bit"]` is |
| `True`, `row["event"]` is an integer, and `ds.filter(lambda r: r["L1bit"])` selects the |
| events the trigger accepted. A `-seeds` config has one boolean column per trigger |
| algorithm and four other columns: `L1bit`, `dataset`, `event` and `order`. |

| ## Units |
| |
| Each feature of each object has values that are integer hardware units, as the trigger |
| produces them. Nothing in the files is scaled. Multiply by the following to get GeV, |
| radians and pseudorapidity: |
| |
| | collection | Et | eta | phi | |
| |---|---|---|---| |
| | muons | 0.5 GeV | 0.010875 | 0.0109083 rad | |
| | jets | 0.5 GeV | 0.0435 | 0.0436332 rad | |
| | e-gammas | 0.5 GeV | 0.0435 | 0.0436332 rad | |
| | taus | 0.5 GeV | 0.0435 | 0.0436332 rad | |
| | ET, HT | 0.5 GeV | | | |
| | MET, MHT, FET, FHT | 0.5 GeV | | 0.0436332 rad | |
| |
| The decimals are rounded. The steps are exact fractions: calorimeter eta is 0.0870/2, |
| muon eta is 0.0870/8, calorimeter phi is 2pi/144, and muon phi is 2pi/576. |
| `muons_muonIEtaAtVtx` and `muons_muonIPhiAtVtx` take the same scales as muon eta and |
| phi. Two energies are missing from the table: `muons_muonIEtUnconstrained` is 1 GeV per |
| unit rather than 0.5, and `jets_jetRawEt` has no documented scale. Quality, charge, |
| isolation, index and tower-count fields are already integers and unscaled, as is every |
| event information field and every seed. |
| |
| ## Caveats |
| |
| **Ordering.** Objects arrive in the trigger's readout order, which is ET-descending for |
| the calorimeter objects and not for the muons. The shipped loader sorts objects by ET |
| before processing them. |
| |
| **The menu differs between data and simulation.** Zero bias data has 183 algorithm |
| columns and the simulations have 161, of which 147 are shared. Additionally, the order |
| of the other trigger algorithm decisions is not the same between zerobias and |
| simulations. |
| |
| **`nPV_True` has two types.** It is float32 in zero bias and int32 in simulation. |
| |
| **Simulation carries no beam coordinates.** Every simulated sample has `run` of 1, `bx` |
| of 4294967295 and `orbit` of 18446744073709551615, the all-ones codes of their types, in |
| place of the values a collision would have. Only the zero bias has non-trivial values in |
| these fields. |
| |
| **`jetRawEt` is zero throughout the zero-bias data.** The branch is unfilled in original |
| data ntuples, though it has real values in simulation. |
| |
| ## Standard preprocessing |
| |
| Multiple studies were done internally at CERN on this data set. A number of conventional |
| preprocessing steps were applied in each of these studies. Therefore the record contains |
| two columns that the raw data does not: `split`, so a file separated from its directory |
| is still self-describing, and `order`, the position in that ordering, which is `-1` for |
| the events that the conventional preprocessing removed. Links to the papers detailing |
| these studies will be attached here once these studies become public. |
| |
| The split was drawn once with NumPy's PCG64 generator seeded with **42**, over the two |
| zero-bias runs concatenated in the order `ZB_run396102 then ZB_run398183`. |
| |
| **A split can span two configs.** The two zero-bias runs were permuted together. Their |
| training rows interleave and `order` counts across the whole split rather than within |
| one run. To rebuild the same order as in previous studies, read both zero-bias configs, |
| concatenate them, then stable-sort by `order` with the `-1` rows left at the end. |
| Concatenating one run after the other gives the right rows in the wrong order. |
| |
| The pipeline in `loader/` goes through the standard preprocessing steps. In the four |
| stages the studies used: read the tables into one array per collection, drop the events |
| saturated in ET and mask the objects above a cut, fit the normalisation on the training |
| split alone and apply it to every other split, then pad each collection to a fixed |
| number of constituents and stack them into one tensor. That object cut is `Et < 511` for |
| muons, e-gammas, jets and taus; 511 is the all-ones code of the 9-bit muon, e-gamma and |
| tau energies, so this cut removes saturated objects. For the jet energy, the full bit |
| width is 11, which would saturate at 2047. The loader cuts any jets above 255.5 GeV, and |
| not at the hardware limit. The events cut by this pipeline have the `order` set to `-1`: |
| run over the zero bias it removes the 457 events marked `-1`, 0.0022% of them. |
| |
| ## Provenance |
| |
| Zero-bias data: CMS, 2025, runs 396102, 398183. Simulated samples: CMS Run 3 Winter25 |
| campaign. The values are the Level-1 trigger's own reconstructed objects rather than |
| offline reconstruction. |
