Machine learning tools have empowered a qualitatively new way to perform differential cross section measurements whereby the data are unbinned, possibly in many dimensions. Unbinned measurements can enable, improve, or at least simplify comparisons between experiments and with theoretical predictions. Furthermore, many-dimensional measurements can be used to define observables after the measurement instead of before. There is currently no community standard for publishing unbinned data. While there are also essentially no measurements of this type public, unbinned measurements are expected in the near future given recent methodological advances. The purpose of this paper is to propose a scheme for presenting and using unbinned results, which can hopefully form the basis for a community standard to allow for integration into analysis workflows. This is foreseen to be the start of an evolving community dialogue, in order to accommodate future developments in this field that is rapidly evolving.

  1. Neural Posterior Unfolding

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A normalizing-flow-based Bayesian unfolding method (NPU) plus a modern Python implementation of Fully Bayesian Unfolding (FBU) are introduced and validated on Gaussian and simulated LHC jet data.

  2. Simulation-Prior Independent Neural Unfolding Procedure

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    SPINUP is a neural-unfolding method that fits a parton-level generative model directly to detector-level data through a learned forward simulator, aiming to remove the simulation-prior bias.

  3. Unbinning global LHC analyses

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Simulation-based inference produces stronger combined LHC constraints on SMEFT Wilson coefficients than histogram-based inference for four di-boson processes.

  4. Toward an event-level analysis of hadron structure using differential programming

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    LOITS is a differentiable sampling method, demonstrated in a GAN closure test, that maps sampled events back to the parameters of a target density for event-level inference.
