contents High-fidelity simulation of particle-matter interactions provides the essential theoretical reference for diverse physics disciplines, yet generating synthetic datasets at the scale of current and future experiments has become prohibitive. Here, we introduce PHIN-GAN, a novel physics-informed generative adversarial network designed to address this challenge. We derive a set of analytical probability density functions, that effectively describe the ``straggling function'' identified with Landau. For the first time, this enables their continuous evaluation across the entire phase-space. These analytical forms are leveraged to enforce a parametric distribution-level learning objective. Rooted in first principles, PHIN-GAN offers a generalizable, interpretable and scalable proof-of-concept approach for a lossless generative model that maintains the high fidelity of the standard-bearer for simulating such interactions, namely GEANT4, at a fraction of the computational cost.
