Code for downloading Particle Physics datasets

Particle Dataset Downloader (v0.0.7)

A package for downloading a repository of particle physics datasets. All datasets can be accessed with a single line:

from particleloader import load
Data = load(DATASET_NAME, N_samples, cache_dir=dir)

See example.ipynb for detailed example usage.

Public Datasets:

As of the latest release, the public datasets are:

• Quark/Gluon Jets: qg_jets, a dataset of quark and gluon jets with labels generated in Pythia or Herwig, with the option of including b and c quarks.
• Top/QCD Jets: topqcd_jets, a dataset of quark and gluon jets with labels generated in Pythia or Herwig.
• SPECTER LEP dijets: SPECTER_ee_dijets, a dataset of LEP-like e+e- collisions to hadrons generated in Pythia, as used in arxiv:2410:XXXXX
• SPECTER QCD jets: SPECTER_qcd_jets, a dataset of QCD jets generated in Pythia, as used in arxiv:2410:XXXXX
• SPECTER Top jets: SPECTER_top_jets, a dataset of top jets generated in Pythia, as used in arxiv:2410:XXXXX

It is relatively straightforward to add new datasets. If you have a dataset you would like to add, please let me know!
