Extending the Higgs sector by introducing additional scalar fields to account for the electroweak symmetry breaking, can provide solutions to some of the questions the Standard Model fails to answer. Introducing additional scalar fields…
We describe the status of the ATLAS Forward Proton (AFP) detectors in Run-2 and the outlook for Run-3 analyses. The performance is discussed. This includes the Tracking and Time-of-Flight detectors, the luminosity, the alignment, the…
We report two new measurements for tests of lepton flavor universality between electrons and muons using semileptonic $B$ decays with a data set of $189~\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ collected at the Belle II experiment between 2019 and 2021. Firstly,…
This paper presents measurements of charged-hadron spectra obtained in $pp$, $p$+Pb, and Pb+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ or $\sqrt{s_{_\text{NN}}}=5.02$ TeV, and in Xe+Xe collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_\text{NN}}}=5.44$ TeV. The data recorded by…
The ratio of branching fractions of $B_c^+ \to B_s^0 \pi^+$ and $B_c^+ \to J/\psi \pi^+$ decays is measured with proton-proton collision data of a centre-of-mass energy of $13\text{TeV}$. The data were collected with the LHCb experiment…
The charge-parity ($CP$) structure of the Yukawa interaction between the Higgs (H) boson and the top quark is measured in a data sample enriched in the $\mathrm{t\bar{t}}$ and tH associated production, using 138 fb$^{-1}$ of data collected…
Measurements of the inclusive and normalised differential cross sections are presented for the production of single top quarks in association with a W boson in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The data used…
Searches for $CP$ violation in the decays $D^+_{(s)}\rightarrow \eta \pi^+$ and $D^+_{(s)}\rightarrow \eta^{\prime} \pi^+$ are performed using $pp$ collision data corresponding to 6 fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity collected by the LHCb…
The $D^+_s\to K^+K^-\mu^+\nu_\mu$ decay is studied based on 7.33 fb$^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ collision data collected with the BESIII detector at center-of-mass energies in the range from 4.128 to 4.226 GeV. The absolute branching fraction is…
At the Belle II experiment a Time-of-Propagation (TOP) counter is used for particle identification in the barrel region. This novel type of particle identification device combines the Cherenkov ring imaging technique with the time-of-flight…
We present a measurement of the differential shapes of exclusive $B\to D^* \ell \bar{\nu}_\ell$ ($B = B^-, \bar{B}^0 $ and $\ell = e, \mu$) decays with hadronic tag-side reconstruction for the full Belle data set of $711\,\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$…
The branching ratio of the structure dependent (SD) radiative $K^{+} \to e^{+} \nu_{e} \gamma$ decay relative to that of the $K^+\rightarrow e^+ \nu_{e} (\gamma)$ decay including the internal bremsstrahlung (IB) process ($K_{e2(\gamma)}$)…
The LUX-ZEPLIN experiment recently reported limits on WIMP-nucleus interactions from its initial science run, down to $9.2\times10^{-48}$ cm$^2$ for the spin-independent interaction of a 36 GeV/c$^2$ WIMP at 90% confidence level. In this…
We report cross-section measurements of the final-state muon kinematics for \numu charged-current interactions in the NOvA near detector using an accumulated 8.09$\times10^{20}$ protons-on-target (POT) in the NuMI beam. We present the…
Testing the Yukawa couplings of the Higgs boson to quarks and leptons is important to understand the origin of fermion masses. These proceedings will review several measurements of Higgs boson decays to two bottom quarks or two tau leptons,…
Transverse $\Lambda$ polarization observed over four decades ago contradicted expectations from early leading-order perturbative QCD calculations. Measurements of $\Lambda$ polarization from unpolarized $pp$ and $p$A collisions have been…
The large dataset of about 3000 fb$^{-1}$ that will be collected by both the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) will be used to measure Higgs boson properties in detail. Studies based on current analyses have been…
The Standard Model predicts several rare Higgs boson decay channels, among which are the decays to a Z boson and a photon, to a low-mass lepton pair and a photon, and to a meson and a photon. The observation of some of these decays could…
Transverse Single Spin Asymmetries (TSSAs) in transversely polarized proton-proton collisions ($p^{\uparrow}+p$) have been a fruitful source for studying the spin structure of the proton. In the 2015 RHIC data taking periods, collisions of…
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) produces a vast sample of top-quark pairs and single-top quarks. Measurements of the inclusive top-quark production rates at the LHC have reached a precision of several percent and test advanced…
