ArXi:2602.24129v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Large-scale homogeneous detectors with optical readouts are widely used in particle detection, with Cherenko and scintillator neutrino detectors as prominent examples. Analyses in experimental physics rely on high-fidelity simulators to translate sensor-level information into physical quantities of interest. This task critically depends on accurate calibration, which aligns simulation behavior with real detector data, and on tracking, which infers particle properties from optical signals.
