Reconstructing the trajectories of charged particles in high-energy collisions requires high precision to ensure reliable event reconstruction and accurate downstream physics analyses. In particular, both precise hit selection and…
This paper illustrates a generic method for multi-dimensional reweighting of $O(1)$ GeV neutrino interaction Monte Carlo samples. The reweighting is based on a Boosted Decision Tree algorithm trained on high-dimensional space in detector…
At hadron colliders, the net transverse momentum of particles that do not interact with the detector (missing transverse momentum, $\vec{p}_\mathrm{T}^\text{miss}$) is a crucial observable in many analyses. In the standard model,…
Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), particularly Interaction Networks (INs), have shown exceptional performance for jet tagging at the CERN High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC). However, their computational complexity and irregular…
Using $(10087\pm 44)\times10^6$ $J/\psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector, we report the first observation of the electromagnetic radiative decays of the $\Lambda(1520)$ and $\Lambda(1670)$ to $\gamma\Sigma^0$, with a statistical…
Decays of charmonium into hyperon and antihyperon pairs provide a pristine laboratory for exploring hyperon properties, such as their polarization and decay parameters, and for conducting tests of fundamental symmetries. This brief review…
Using $(27.12\pm 0.14)\times10^8$ $\psi(3686)$ decays and data samples of $e^+e^-$ collisions with $\sqrt{s}$ from 4.130 to 4.780~GeV collected with the BESIII detector, we report the first observation of the electromagnetic Dalitz…
One of the fundamental goals of particle physics is to gain microscopic understanding of the strong interaction. Electromagnetic form factors quantify the structure of hadrons in terms of charge and magnetization distributions. While the…
Wilson coefficients in dimension-six effective field theory are constrained in a combined fit to several ATLAS measurements. These inputs probe Higgs-boson processes across multiple production and decay modes, di-Higgs signatures in the…
The radioisotope $^{125}\text{Xe}$ is a short-lived ($T_{1/2}\sim16.9 h$) activation product of the neutron calibrations performed in the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment. Subsequently, $^{125}$Xe decays primarily ($>99\%$) via electron capture, but…
A new excited charm-strange meson is observed through an amplitude analysis of the full phase space of $B^0\to D^+ D^- K^+ \pi^-$ decays. The analysis is based on a proton-proton collision data sample collected by the \lhcb experiment at a…
In Run 3 of the LHC, the instantaneous luminosity at the LHCb interaction point has been increased by a factor of five, from $4\times 10^{32}\rm{cm}^{-2}\rm{s}^{-1}$ to $2\times 10^{33}\rm{cm}^{-2}\rm{s}^{-1}$. Several hardware…
A search for dark matter produced in association with a dark Higgs boson decaying into a bottom quark-antiquark pair has been performed using proton-proton collision data at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The search uses data collected…
This paper presents a comprehensive study of the reconstruction of sub-GeV neutrino charged-current interactions within a Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC). We demonstrate that traditional charge-based calorimetry is…
Proton decay searches in the next generation of water Cherenkov detectors, such as Hyper-Kamiokande, are expected to probe the $10^{35}$-year lifetime regime where atmospheric neutrino backgrounds and systematic uncertainties begin to play…
We present the design and characterization of a Cockcroft--Walton (CW) high-voltage (HV) system developed for deep-sea neutrino telescopes. The system provides independently adjustable bias voltages for 31 three-inch photomultiplier tubes…
The decay $B^{\pm} \to K^0_{\mathrm{S}} \pi^{\pm}$, with a $CP$ asymmetry expected to be close to zero in the Standard Model, is theoretically clean and sensitive to potential new physics. An analysis of the decays $B^{\pm} \to…
The expected precision at the FCC-ee on the product $\sigma\times\mathcal{B}(H\rightarrow b\bar{b}, c\bar{c},s\bar{s},gg)$ of Higgs boson production cross sections times branching ratios of hadronic decays is presented. This study provides…
Charged-hadron distributions in heavy-flavor jets are measured in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV collected by the LHCb experiment. Distributions of the longitudinal momentum fraction, transverse…
We report the first measurement of the semileptonic decay $D^+_s \rightarrow K^0\mu^+\nu_{\mu}$, using a sample of $e^+e^-$ annihilation data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $7.33~\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ collected at center-of-mass…
