Description
We provide a technique called OASIS to reduce the number of simulated events required in a collider analysis to reach a target sensitivity. We achieve this by preferentially focusing the event generation in different regions of phase-space based on their utility to the analysis at hand (and appropriately weighting the events).
OASIS leads to a conservation of resources at all stages of the MC pipeline (including detector simulation) and opens a new avenue for resource-conservation that is complementary to approaches that seek to speed-up the simulation pipeline.
