At the LHC a precise measurement of the Higgs boson mass (if discovered), at the level of 0.1-1%, will be possible through the channel g g --> H --> 4l for a wide range of Higgs mass values. To match such an accuracy, the systematic effects…

Determination of the mixing-induced $C\!P$-violating phase $\phi_{s}$ and decay width difference $\Delta\Gamma_{s}$ in $\bar{b}\to\bar{c}c\bar{s}$ decays is one of the main goals of the LHCb experiment. Thanks to the precise prediction of…

The potential of a linear e+e- collider operated at a centre-of-mass energy of 350 GeV is studied for the measurement of the Higgs boson mass. An integrated luminosity of 500 fb-1 is assumed. For Higgs boson masses of 120, 150 and 180 GeV…

There are two main ways of looking for new physics, direct searches and precision measurements. The latter are sensitive to a broader spectrum of models; they also can be sensitive to higher energy scales than what can be reached through…

The first dedicated $Z$-boson mass measurement at the LHC with $Z \to \mu^+\mu^-$ decays is reported. The dataset uses proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of $13$ TeV, recorded in 2016 by the LHCb experiment, and corresponds…

Radioactivity is understood to be described by a Poisson process, yet some measurements of nuclear decays appear to exhibit unexpected variations. Generally, the isotopes reporting these variations have long half lives, which are plagued by…

Studying the properties of the Higgs boson can be an important window to explore the physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). In this work, we present studies on the implications of the Higgs precision measurements at future Higgs Factories.…

We show that mass measurements for new particles appearing in decay chains can be improved by determining the boundary of the available phase space in its full dimensionality rather than by using one-dimensional kinematic features for each…

We propose a new method to measure various physical parameters, using characteristic weight functions. This method requires only lepton energy distribution and ideally it does not depend on the velocity of the parent particle. We…
