Quantum computers represent a new computational paradigm with steadily improving hardware capabilities. In this article, we present the first study exploring how current quantum computers can be used to classify different neutrino event…
The first measurement of the magnitude of the CKM quark mixing matrix element $|V_{cb}|$ using on-shell $W$-boson decays is presented. The measurement is made with $t\bar{t}$ events from $pp$ collision data corresponding to an integrated…
A 2021 study by the ECFA Early-Career Researchers Panel revealed that 71% of 334 respondents used open-source software tools in their instrumentation work, yet 70% reported receiving no training for these tools. In response, the Software…
This paper presents the search for direct pair production of top squarks decaying into two on-shell top quarks and two neutralinos in final states with two oppositely charged leptons (electrons or muons), $b$-jets and large missing…
A flavor-tagged time-dependent analysis of $B^{0}\rightarrow K_{S}^{0}\mu^{+}\mu^{-}$ decays is performed across the full dimuon mass range excluding the $J/\psi$ and $\psi(2S)$ resonance regions. The analysis uses proton-proton collision…
We present a comparative study of three Monte Carlo simulation frameworks -SRIM, GEANT4, and PHITS- for modeling the transport, stopping, and atomic cascade of negative muons in micrometer-scale, multilayer systems relevant to Muon-Induced…
Measurements of the spin correlation coefficients in the beam basis are presented for top quark-antiquark ($\mathrm{t\bar{t}}$) systems produced in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV collected by the CMS experiment in…
We measure the time- and phase-space-integrated $CP$ asymmetry $A_{CP}$ in $D^0\to\pi^+\pi^-\pi^0$ decays reconstructed in $e^+e^-\to c\bar c$ events collected by the Belle II experiment from 2019 to 2022. This sample corresponds to an…
Based on a sample of $ (10.087\pm 0.044)\times 10^{9} J/\psi$ events collected by the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, we perform the first search for the lepton number violating decay $\eta \to \pi^+\pi^+ e^-e^- + \text{c.c.}$ No…
We search for 15 rare decays of $D$ mesons to hadrons accompanied by an electron-positron pair $D\to h(h^{(')})e^{+}e^{-}$, based on 20.3 fb$^{-1}$ of $e^+ e^-$ collision data collected at the center-of-mass energy of 3.773 GeV with the…
The LEP data represents the most precise and highest centre-of-mass energy sample of $e^+e^-$ collision data collected to date. Numerous scientific articles have been published since the conclusion of the experiments, underscoring the…
Compatibility between different datasets in a global fit is essential for determining whether a chosen model adequately describes the data. In a 3+1 sterile neutrino global fit, long-standing tensions between datasets sensitive to $\nu_e$…
A collection of thirteen ATLAS searches for supersymmetry (SUSY) models, optimized for R-parity-conserving (RPC) and R-parity-violating (RPV) SUSY, are reinterpreted in SUSY models with variable RPV coupling strength, which determines…
The quantum Rabi model provides the framework for describing a two-level system interacting with a strong oscillating field beyond the rotating-wave approximation. We report the first experimental observation of the resulting dressed states…
We present here a search for WIMP dark matter using 790.8 live-days of data collected with 3269 kg of liquid argon (1266 kg fiducial) by the DEAP-3600 detector at SNOLAB, using the Profile Likelihood Ratio method. The likelihood model is…
Complex, high-throughput data acquisition and processing systems, such as those used in high-energy physics experiments, are increasingly moving sophisticated pattern recognition and data compression algorithms closer to the sensors…
We present a new measurement of the electron neutrino charged current cross section on argon without pions in the final state. This measurement uses the full MicroBooNE Booster Neutrino Beam dataset of $1.3\times 10^{21}$ protons on target…
The single top quark $t$-channel production cross section is measured in proton-proton collisions at the CERN LHC at $\sqrt{s}$ = 5.02 TeV, using data recorded with the CMS detector in 2017, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 302…
The Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB accelerator in Tsukuba, Japan, searches for physics beyond the Standard Model, with a focus on precise measurements of flavor physics observables. Highly accurate Monte Carlo simulations are…
Thirty years after the first observation of on-shell top quarks the investigation of the heaviest elementary particle remains a thriving field of basic research, as was illustrated by the 18th edition of the annual Workshop on Top-Quark…
