Almost all groups involved in linear collider detector studies have their own simulation software framework. Using a common persistency scheme would allow to easily share results and compare reconstruction algorithms. We present such a persistency framework, called LCIO (Linear Collider I/O). The framework has to fulfill the requirements of the different groups today and be flexible enough to be adapted to future needs. To that end we define an `abstract object persistency layer that will be used by the applications. A first implementation, based on a sequential file format (SIO) is completely separated from the interface, thus allowing to support additional formats if necessary. The interface is defined with the AID (Abstract Interface Definition) tool from freehep.org that allows creation of Java and C++ code synchronously. In order to make use of legacy software a Fortran interface is also provided. We present the design and implementation of LCIO.

A new LCIO-based data format called mini-DST has been developed, which combines Particle Flow Object (PFO) and event-level information, including the output of the most important high-level reconstruction algorithms. Originally triggered by Snowmass 2021 studies, the mini-DST is useful for beginners as a starting point of an analysis. In this note, we discuss the basics and contents of the mini-DST, how to create the mini-DST file from fully simulated MC samples, and the limitations of mini-DST.
We report on the progress in flavor identification tools developed for a future $e^+e^-$ linear collider such as the International Linear Collider (ILC) and Compact Linear Collider (CLIC). Building on the work carried out by the LCFIVertex collaboration, we employ new strategies in vertex finding and jet finding, and introduce new discriminating variables for jet flavor identification. We present the performance of the new algorithms in the conditions simulated using a detector concept designed for the ILC. The algorithms have been successfully used in ILC physics simulation studies, such as those presented in the ILC Technical Design Report.
This article presents the motivation for developing a comprehensive modeling framework in which different models and parameter inputs can be compared and evaluated for a large range of jet-quenching observables measured in relativistic heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and the LHC. The concept of a framework us discussed within the context of recent efforts by the JET Collaboration, the authors of JEWEL, and the JETSCAPE collaborations. The framework ingredients for each of these approaches is presented with a sample of important results from each. The role of advanced statistical tools in comparing models to data is also discussed, along with the need for a more detailed accounting of correlated errors in experimental results.
The promise of machine learning has been explored in a variety of scientific disciplines in the last few years, however, its application on first-principles based computationally expensive tools is still in nascent stage. Even with the advances in computational resources and power, transient simulations of large-scale dynamic systems using a variety of the first-principles based computational tools are still limited. In this work, we propose an ensemble approach where we combine one such computationally expensive tool, called discrete element method (DEM), with a time-series forecasting method called auto-regressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) and machine-learning methods to significantly reduce the computational burden while retaining model accuracy and performance. The developed machine-learning model shows good predictability and agreement with the literature, demonstrating its tremendous potential in scientific computing.
RooStatsCms is an object oriented statistical framework based on the RooFit technology. Its scope is to allow the modelling, statistical analysis and combination of multiple search channels for new phenomena in High Energy Physics. It provides a variety of methods described in literature implemented as classes, whose design is oriented to the execution of multiple CPU intensive jobs on batch systems or on the Grid.
