Physics First Ever

We’ve got an AI now that can take a raw physics formula and run all the massive tests for it at a particle collider on its own.

The Takeaway

High-energy physics experiments usually require months of human effort to code and analyze. This 'ColliderAgent' can read standard physics notation and perform the entire workflow autonomously, from the starting theory to the final results, essentially automating the job of a researcher.

From the abstract

We present, to our knowledge, the first language-driven agent system capable of executing end-to-end collider phenomenology tasks, instantiated within a decoupled, domain-agnostic architecture for autonomous High-Energy Physics phenomenology. Guided only by natural-language prompts supplemented with standard physics notation, ColliderAgent carries out workflows from a theoretical Lagrangian to final phenomenological outputs without relying on package-specific code. In this framework, a hierarchi
