Data Quality Monitoring (DQM) is a crucial component of particle physics experiments and ensures that the recorded data is of the highest quality, and suitable for subsequent physics analysis. Due to the extreme environmental conditions,…
Neutrino telescopes are large-scale detectors designed to observe Cherenkov radiation produced from neutrino interactions in water or ice. They exist to identify extraterrestrial neutrino sources and to probe fundamental questions…
STRings for Absorption Length in Water (STRAW)-a and b were pathfinder instruments deployed to characterize the anticipated site of the Pacific Ocean Neutrino Experiment (P-ONE), which is a future neutrino telescope that will be located in…
Machine learning algorithms are being used more frequently in the first-level triggers in collider experiments, with Graph Neural Networks pushing the hardware requirements of FPGA-based triggers beyond the current state of the art. To meet…
Measurements of the production of the W$^{\pm}$ and Z$^0$ bosons at midrapidity in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV with ALICE at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are presented. The W$^{\pm}$ and Z$^0$ bosons are detected via their…
The measurement of the transverse-momentum fraction ($z^{\rm ch}$) carried by prompt and non-prompt J/$\psi$ in charged-particle jets in proton--proton collisions with a center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s}= 13$ TeV is reported by the ALICE…
Inclusive production of $\psi(2S)$ mesons is measured for the first time at midrapidity ($|y| < 0.9$) in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV using the ALICE detector at the LHC. The measurement is performed in the transverse-momentum…
The determination of transverse single-spin asymmetries in experiments involving polarized targets and/or beams may encounter challenges when (1) the magnitude of the polarization varies greatly with time, (2) the polarization magnitude is…
Using $(10087\pm44)\times10^{6}$$J/\psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII storage ring in $2009$, $2012$, $2018$, and $2019$, we perform a search for the reaction $\Xi^0n\rightarrow\Lambda\Lambda X$, where…
Primary cosmic rays when interact with our atmosphere, produce a cascade of lighter secondary particles namely pion, kaon, neutrons, muons, electrons, positrons and neutrinos. Muons are one of the most abundant and easily detectable…
We present measurements of the total and differential cross sections for near-threshold J/$\psi$ photoproduction obtained with the CLAS12 detector at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. The results are based on data…
Hyperon physics offers a distinctive laboratory for probing the intensity frontier and searching for physics beyond the Standard Model. This review summarizes recent results from the BESIII experiment, including pioneering studies of dark…
Using data samples of 988.4 fb$^{-1}$ and 427.9 fb$^{-1}$ collected with the Belle and Belle II detectors, we present a study of the singly Cabibbo-suppressed decays $\Xi_c^{0} \to \Lambda \eta$, $\Lambda \eta'$, and $\Lambda \pi^0$. We…
Many theories of physics beyond the Standard Model predict particles with non-helical trajectories in a uniform magnetic field, but standard tracking algorithms assume helical paths and so are incapable of discovering non-helical tracks.…
The dual-phase xenon time projection chamber (TPC) is a powerful technology to detect rare interactions such as scatters of dark matter particles on nuclei. In particular, the built-in gain of ionization signals in a dual-phase TPC makes it…
A search for the pair production of heavy spin-1/2 or spin-3/2 resonances (t$^*$) in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV is presented. Data collected with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC from 2016 to 2018 corresponding to an…
Axions are hypothetical particles that provide a compelling solution to two major mysteries in modern physics: the strong CP problem and the nature of dark matter. The plasma haloscope has been proposed as a promising approach for probing…
The PADME Experiment at the Frascati DA$\Phi$NE LINAC has searched for a hypothetical particle with mass around 17 MeV, commonly referred to as the X17, using a positron beam incident on a fixed target. The beam energy was varied between…
Searches for charged lepton flavor violation in the muon sector stand out among the most sensitive and clean probes for physics beyond the Standard Model. Currently, $\mu^+ \to \mathrm{e}^+ \gamma$ experiments provide the best constraints…
LHCb's Run 3 upgrade introduced a fully software-based trigger system operating at 30~MHz, processing an average of 5.6 proton-proton collision vertices per bunch crossing (event). This work presents the development of an inference engine…
