Reconstruction of displaced vertices is a cornerstone of both precision flavour physics and searches for long-lived particles (LLPs) at colliders. While existing vertexing algorithms are highly optimised for primary and short-lived…
Soft matter consists of meso-scale (nm~{\mu}m) structures that are formed by weak interactions and reorganized under thermal fluctuations. The resulting complex relaxation phenomena may be probed with microrheology, by observing the…
Visual tracking can be easily disturbed by similar surrounding objects. Such objects as hard distractors, even though being the minority among negative samples, increase the risk of target drift and model corruption, which deserve…

Confining dark sectors at the GeV scale can lead to novel collider signatures including those termed emerging jets with large numbers of displaced vertices. The triggers at the LHC experiments were not designed with this type of new physics…
In the simplest model of single-file diffusion, $N$ point particles wander on a segment of the $x$ axis of length $L$, with hard core interactions, which prevent passing, and with overdamped Brownian dynamics, $\lambda\dot{x}=\eta(t)$,…
The top squark (stop) may dominantly decay to a bottom quark and a chargino if the mass difference between the stop and the lightest neutralino is comparable or less than the top quark mass. Such a moderately compressed spectrum is a…
