The Standard Model of particle physics describes the known fundamental particles and forces that make up our universe, with the exception of gravity. One of the central features of the Standard Model is a field that permeates all of space…

This Letter reports the observation of $\tau$-lepton pair production in ultraperipheral lead-lead collisions, $\text{Pb+Pb} \to \text{Pb}(\gamma\gamma \to \tau\tau)\text{Pb}$, and constraints on the $\tau$-lepton anomalous magnetic moment,…

The well-established neutrino oscillation phenomenon, which confirms neutrinos have mass and the charged and neutral leptons are mixed, has been widely exploited to investigate the physics of this elusive particle. The complete description…

The BESIII experiment starts to run at 2009 and has submitted 500 publications during the past 15 years. This article reviews the 26 new hadrons discovered at BESIII, dedicated to the celebration of this event.

Two channels for measuring the absolute center-of-mass energy, $\sqrt{s}$, and collision beam energies, $E_-$ and $E_+$, are investigated for future $e^+e^-$ Higgs factories. These two channels of DiMuons and Bhabhas are simulated in event…

Muon neutrino and antineutrino disappearance probabilities are identical in the standard three-flavor neutrino oscillation framework, but CPT violation and non-standard interactions can violate this symmetry. In this work we report the…

A sensitivity study for the search for the charged lepton flavor violating process $\tau \to \gamma\mu$ at the Super $\tau$-Charm Facility is performed with a fast simulation. With the expected performance of the current detector design and…

A search is made for potential $cc\bar{c}\bar{c}$ tetraquarks decaying into a pair of charmonium states in the four muon final state using proton-proton collision data at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 140…

The production rate of $B^{0}_{s}$ mesons relative to $B^{0}$ mesons is measured by the LHCb experiment in $pp$ collisions at a center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV over the forward rapidity interval $2<y<4.5$ as a function of the…

We present preliminary results of a partial-wave analysis of $\tau^-\to\pi^-\pi^-\pi^+\nu_\tau$ in data from the Belle experiment at the KEKB $\mathrm{e}^+\mathrm{e}^-$ collider. We demonstrate the presence of the $\mathrm{a}_1(1420)$ and…

Lattice-QCD predicts the exotic meson $\pi_1(1600)$ to dominantly decay to $b_1\pi$. The $b_1\pi$ decay channel is accessible via the $\omega\pi^{-}\pi^{0}$ final state. COMPASS recorded the so far largest data set of this final state. A…

A new dark sector anti-baryon, denoted $\psi_{\text{D}}$, could be produced in decays of $B$ mesons. This letter presents a search for $B^{+} \rightarrow \psi_{\text{D}} + \text{p}$ (and the charge conjugate) decays in $e^{+}e^{-}$…

This document presents a summary of the 2023 Terrestrial Very-Long-Baseline Atom Interferometry Workshop hosted by CERN. The workshop brought together experts from around the world to discuss the exciting developments in large-scale atom…

The Phase-2 Upgrade of the CMS Level-1 Trigger (L1T) will reconstruct particles using the Particle Flow algorithm, connecting information from the tracker, muon, and calorimeter detectors, and enabling fine-grained reconstruction of high…

The decay $\Xi_b^-\to\Lambda_b^0\pi^-$ is observed using a proton-proton collision data sample collected at center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV with the LHCb detector, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.5 fb$^{-1}$. This…

A search for high-mass dimuon resonance production in association with one or more b quark jets is presented. The study uses proton-proton collision data collected with the CMS detector at the LHC corresponding to an integrated luminosity…

Estimates of uncertainty or variance in experimental means are central to physics. This is especially the case for `world averages' of fundamental physical parameters in particle physics, which aggregate results from a number of experiments…

A search for the lepton-flavor violating decay of the Higgs boson and potential additional Higgs bosons with a mass in the range 110-160 GeV to an e$^{\pm}\mu^{\mp}$ pair is presented. The search is performed with a proton-proton collision…

This paper formalizes the use of integral and differential cumulants for measurements of multi-particle event-by-event transverse momentum fluctuations, rapidity fluctuations, as well as net charge fluctuations. This enables the…

Using a sample of about 10 billion $J/\psi$ events with the BESIII detector, we search for the weak decays of $J/\psi \to \bar{D}^0\pi^0 + c.c.$, $J/\psi \to \bar{D}^0\eta + c.c.$, $J/\psi \to \bar{D}^0\rho^0 + c.c.$, $J/\psi \to D^-\pi^+ +…
