Pixel Detector Background Generation using Generative Adversarial Networks at Belle II

The pixel vertex detector (PXD) is an essential part of the Belle II detector recording particle positions. Data from the PXD and other sensors allow us to reconstruct particle tracks and decay vertices. The effiect of background hits on track reconstruction is simulated by adding measured or simula...
