Searches for the production of electroweak supersymmetric particles decaying into final states with exactly two isolated, oppositely-charged leptons (electrons, muons), no reconstructed jets and missing transverse momentum are performed…
The very existence of partially massless spin 2 supermultiplet tell us that partially massless spin 2 has two natural superpartners: massless spin 3/2 and massive spin 3/2 with some special value of mass. As for any pair of fields connected…
Semi-visible jets, with a significant contribution to the event's missing transverse momentum, can arise in strongly interacting dark sectors. This results in an event topology where one of the jets can be aligned with the direction of the…
In collider-based particle physics, $invariant\ mass$ refers to the magnitude of the total-momentum 4-vector of a system of particles. An expression for the invariant mass of a 2-particle system is well known; it assumes that both the total…
At hadron colliders invisible particles $\chi$ can be inferred only through observation of the transverse component of the vectorial sum of their momenta -- missing $E_T$ or MET -- preventing reconstruction of the masses of their mother…

This article focuses on the study of strange hadrons at 0.2 TeV centre of mass energy, recorded by STAR at RHIC, and at 0.9 TeV, 5.02 TeV and 7 TeV, recorded by CMS at LHC, in pp collision in the rapidity range from 0 to 2. The transverse…
We have studied the transverse momentum ($p_T$) spectra of the final-state strange particles, including $K^{\pm}$, $\phi$, $\it\Xi$, and $\it\Omega$, produced in high energy lead-lead (Pb-Pb), proton-lead ($p$-Pb), xenon-xenon (Xe-Xe)…
