The $t$-channel is the dominant production channel for single top-quarks at the LHC. The total cross section of this process is measured by ATLAS in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV. The production cross…

The ATLAS collaboration at the LHC has published inclusive cross-section measurements for the single-top and $t\overline{t}$ production modes at center-of-mass energies of $\sqrt{s} = 5.02, 8.16$, $13$, and $13.6$ TeV. Single-top…

Top quark production in association with a photon offers a unique test ground for the standard model predictions, as it is sensitive to the top-photon coupling. These processes are rare when compared to standard top pair production, however…

Three structures, X(6600), X(6900), and X(7100), have emerged from the J$/\psi\,$J$/\psi$ (J$/\psi$ $\to$ $\mu^+\mu^-$) mass spectrum. These are candidates of all-charm tetraquarks, an exotic form of hadronic matter. A clearer picture of…

The Belle and Belle~II experiments have accumulated a data set of $1.2~\mathrm{ab}^{-1}$ of $e^+e^- \to B\bar{B}$ collisions at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance. Owing to the clean event environment and well-constrained initial-state…

These proceedings present the outcome of a feasibility study using RapidSim simulation software that demonstrates that the LHCb experiment will be capable of observing the decays $B^+\to \tau^+ \nu_\tau$ and $B_c^+\to \tau^+ \nu_\tau$ using…

A search is performed for a heavy scalar resonance X decaying to a Higgs boson (H) and a Higgs-like scalar boson (Y) in the two bottom quark (H $\to$ $\mathrm{b\bar{b}}$) and four quark (Y $\to$ VV $\to$ 4q) final state, where V denotes a W…

A model-independent search for low-mass resonances decaying into pairs of oppositely charged muons is presented. The analysis uses proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb$^{-1}$, recorded by the…

This contribution presents an overview of an improved extraction of the effective leptonic weak mixing angle, $\sin^2\theta^\ell_{\mathrm{eff}}$, based on the published CMS measurement of the forward-backward asymmetry in Drell-Yan events…

There are 17,612 20-inch photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) installed at the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO). Developing a precise optical model for the PMTs is crucial for enhancing the accuracy of detector simulations and…

We present the results of searches for nucleon decays via $p\rightarrow\nu\pi^{+}$ and $n\rightarrow\nu\pi^{0}$ using a 0.484 Mt$\cdot$yr exposure of Super-Kamiokande I-V data covering the entire pure water phase of the experiment. Various…

Dual-phase xenon time projection chambers (TPCs) are widely used in searches for rare dark matter and neutrino interactions, in part because of their excellent position reconstruction capability in 3D. Despite their millimeter-scale…

Using a sample of $(2.712\pm0.014) \times 10^{9}$ $\psi(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the electron positron collider BEPCII, the decay $\psi(3686) \to \Xi^- K^0_S \bar{\Omega}^+ +c.c.$ is observed for the first time,…

Space missions require lightweight, low-power consuming, radiation-tolerant components. Silicon photomultipliers are increasingly used for detecting near-UV, optical, and infrared light in space due to their compact design, low cost, low…

Using a sample of $(10087\pm44)\times10^{6}$ $J/\psi$ events accumulated with the BESIII detector, we analyze the decays $\eta\rightarrow\pi^+\pi^-l^+l^-$ ($l=e$ or $\mu$) via the process $J/\psi\rightarrow\gamma\eta$. The branching…

The ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider explores the use of modern neural networks for a multi-dimensional calibration of its calorimeter signal defined by clusters of topologically connected cells (topo-clusters). The Bayesian…

The Standard Model (SM) of particle physics provides a successful description of elementary particles and their interactions. However, it does not explain phenomena such as the hierarchy problem or the nature of dark matter. Many Beyond the…

The ATLAS Collaboration at CERN's Large Hadron Collider is at the forefront of particle physics research and is equally committed to bridging the gap between cutting-edge science and the wider public. Since 2010, the ATLAS Virtual Visits…

The Standard Model of particle physics explains many natural phenomena yet remains incomplete. Vectorlike quarks and leptoquarks lie at the heart of many extensions to the Standard Model seeking to address the hierarchy problem, or the…

The Spin Physics Detector (SPD) is a universal detector in the one of two interaction points of the NICA collider under construction at JINR, Dubna. SPD plans to study the spin structure of the proton and deuteron and other spin-related…
