الوصف: In high-energy particle collisions, secondary decays can be reconstructed as displaced vertices using the measured trajectories of charged particles. Such vertices are useful in identifying and studying jets originating from $b$- or $c$-hadrons, which is a key component of the physics programs of modern collider experiments. While machine learning has become mainstream in particle physics, most applications are on an per-object basis, for example the prediction of class labels or the regression of object properties. However, vertex reconstruction is a many-to-many problem, in which a set of input tracks must be grouped into a second variable length set of vertices. In this work, we propose a fully learned approach to reconstruct secondary vertices inside jets based on recent advancements in object detection from computer vision. We demonstrate and discuss the advantages of this approach, in particular its ability to estimate the properties of any number of vertices, and conclude that the same methodology could be applicable to other reconstruction tasks in particle physics.
