  The contamination, or background, from uninteresting low-energy strong
interactions is a major issue for data analysis at the Large Hadron Collider.
In the light of the challenges associated with the upcoming higher-luminosity
scenarios, methods of assigning weights to individual particles have recently
started to be used with a view to rescaling the particle four-momentum vectors.
We propose a different approach whereby the weights are instead employed to
reshape the particle-level kinematic distributions in the data. We use this
method to estimate the number of neutral particles originating from low-energy
strong interactions in different kinematic regions inside individual collision
events. Given the parallel nature of this technique, we anticipate the
possibility of using it as part of particle-by-particle event filtering
procedures at the reconstruction level at future high-luminosity hadron
collider experiments.
