The discovery of neutrinoless double-beta decay could soon be within reach. This hypothetical ultra-rare nuclear decay offers a privileged portal to physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. Its observation would constitute the…
We present a measurement of the $\tau$-lepton mass using a sample of about 175 million $e^+e^- \to \tau^+\tau^-$ events collected with the Belle II detector at the SuperKEKB $e^+e^-$ collider at a center-of-mass energy of…
Reactor neutrino experiments play a crucial role in advancing our knowledge of neutrinos. A precise measurement of reactor electron antineutrino flux and spectrum evolution can be key inputs in improving the knowledge of neutrino mass and…
A search for the nonresonant production of Higgs boson pairs (HH) via gluon-gluon and vector boson fusion processes in final states with two bottom quarks and two tau leptons is presented. The search uses data from proton-proton collisions…
Decays of the Higgs boson into a Z boson and a J/$\psi$ or $\psi$(2S) meson are searched for in four-lepton final states with the CMS detector at the LHC. A data set of proton-proton collisions corresponding to an integrated luminosity of…
The Multipurpose Detector (MPD) consists of a typical array of sub-detectors to study the nuclear matter originating from the collisions of beams provided by the Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility (NICA). A beam monitoring…
The tracks left by charged particles in a gaseous time projection chamber~(TPC) incorporate important information about the interaction process and drift of electrons in gas. The electron diffusion information carried by the tracks is an…
At the LHC, the process of a Higgs boson decaying into bottom or charm quarks produced in association with a pair of top quarks, ttbarH , allows for an empirical exploration of the heavy-flavor quark Yukawa couplings to the Higgs boson.…
The intrinsic angular momentum ("spin") of the B mesons has not so far been measured, notwithstanding the large amount of experimental attention that these particles have received in the four decades since the first of them was discovered.…
The comparison of the kinematic properties of different Vector Boson Scattering (VBS) and Vector Boson Fusion (VBF) processes using multivariate discriminator is presented. The search is performed to identify common features in the the…
Millicharged particles appear in several extensions of the Standard Model, but have not yet been detected. These hypothetical particles could be produced by an intense proton beam striking a fixed target. We use data collected in 2020 by…
The increase in luminosity, and consequent higher backgrounds, of the LHC upgrades require improved rejection of fake tracks in the forward region of the ATLAS Muon Spectrometer. The New Small Wheel upgrade of the Muon Spectrometer aims to…
Weak decays of heavy-quark baryons offer an attractive laboratory to search for effects beyond the Standard Model (SM), complementary to searches in meson decays. However, the properties of these baryons are not well understood. In…
The generation of collider data using machine learning has emerged as a prominent research topic in particle physics due to the increasing computational challenges associated with traditional Monte Carlo simulation methods, particularly for…
The spin and parity of the charmed mesons $D_{s}^{*+}$, $D^{*0}$ and $D^{*+}$ are determined for the first time to be $J^P=1^{-}$ with significances greater than 10$\sigma$ over other hypotheses of $2^{+}$ and $3^{-}$, using an $e^+e^-$…
The process $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow D_{s}^{\ast+}D_{s}^{\ast-}$ is studied with a semi-inclusive method using data samples at center-of-mass energies from threshold to 4.95 GeV collected with the BESIII detector operating at the Beijing…
Measurements are presented of the B$^0_\mathrm{S}$ $\to$ $\mu^+\mu^-$ branching fraction and effective lifetime, as well as results of a search for the B$^0$ $\to$ $\mu^+\mu^-$ decay in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV at the…
This Letter presents a search for direct production of charginos and neutralinos via electroweak interactions. The results are based on data from proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV collected with the CMS detector…
In this talk, we present the latest experimental results on heavy flavour spectroscopy at the LHCb detector. The first observation of two baryonic resonances is reported in the $\Xi_b^{(-,0)} \pi^+\pi^-$ final states and a study of…
Using $(10\:087\pm44)\times10^{6}$ $J/\psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector, the radiative hyperon decay $\Sigma\rightarrow p\gamma$ is studied at an electron-positron collider experiment for the first time. The absolute branching…
