## Abstract (arXiv)

Modeling detector response is a key challenge in time projection chambers. We cast this problem as an unpaired point cloud translation task, between data collected from simulations and from experimental runs. Effective translation can assist with both noise rejection and the construction of high-fidelity simulators. Building on recent work in diffusion probabilistic models, we present a novel framework for performing this mapping. We demonstrate the success of our approach in both synthetic domains and in data sourced from the Active-Target Time Projection Chamber.
