Geoneutrinos, the electron (anti)neutrinos generated in decays or decay chains of the radioactive elements within the Earth, primarily K-40, U-238, and Th-232, serve as a unique probe for the inner chemical composition of the Earth. A…

Semileptonic $b\to c\tau\bar{\nu}_{\tau}$ decays are powerful probes of non-Standard-Model effects within an effective-field-theory (EFT) framework, but fully exploiting them in current and future data demands combinations that maximise…

The CDF II experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron used a drift chamber to measure the momenta of charged particles. We present a model for the response of the drift chamber to the curvature of a charged particle's trajectory. Constraints on…

Large language model-based AI agents are now able to autonomously execute substantial portions of a high energy physics (HEP) analysis pipeline with minimal expert-curated input. Given access to a HEP dataset, an execution framework, and a…

We present an AI agentic measurement of the thrust distribution in $e^{+}e^{-}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=91.2$~GeV using archived ALEPH data. The analysis and all note writing is carried out entirely by AI agents (OpenAI Codex and Anthropic…

The Run 3 of the LHC brings unprecedented luminosity and a surge in data volume to the LHCb detector, necessitating a critical reduction in the size of each reconstructed event without compromising the physics reach of the heavy-flavour…

Deep underground experiments present a new avenue to probe the first interactions in extensive air showers or hadronic interactions in the extreme forward phase space. The China Jinping Underground Laboratory, characterized by a vertical…

In recent neutrino detectors, neutrons produced in neutrino reactions play an important role. Muon capture on oxygen nuclei is one of the processes that produce neutrons in water Cherenkov detectors. We measured neutron multiplicity in the…

We report the first measurement of the $e^{+}e^{-}\to K^{+}K^{-}$ cross sections around the $\psi(2S)$ resonance using the energy scan method. The analysis is based on $e^{+}e^{-}$ collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of…

Ultra-high energy cosmic rays impinge on the atmosphere and induce air shower cascades, in which huge numbers of particles are produced. By travelling through the Earth's atmosphere and magnetic field, these particles create a noticeable…

Accurate measurement of the cosmogenic muon-induced neutron yield is crucial for constraining a significant background in a wide range of low-energy physics searches. Although previous underground experiments have measured this yield across…

The dark photon is a well motivated candidate for the dark matter which comprises most of the mass of our visible Universe, leading to worldwide experimental and observational efforts towards its discovery. A primary tool in this search is…

Measurements of hadronic final states in $e^{+}e^{-}$ collisions at centre-of-mass (CM) energies below the Z peak can notably extend the FCC-ee physics reach in terms of precision quantum chromodynamics (QCD) studies. Hadronic final states…

Jets are collimated clusters of particles formed by the hadronization of partons following a hard interaction. In proton-proton ($pp$) collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), jet production is dominated by $gg$ and $qg$…

The PADME Experiment at Laboratori Nationali di Frascati is designed to search for the Dark Photon, a hypothetical gauge boson responsible for the interaction between the visible and the hidden sector. PADME explores the process of…

The first observation of the doubly charmed baryon $\it{\Xi}_{cc}^+$ is reported through its decay to the $\it{\Lambda}_c^+ K^-\pi^+$ final state, with a statistical significance exceeding seven standard deviations. The observation is made…

By analysing 6.1 ${\rm fb}^{-1}$ of data collected at center-of-mass energies between $\sqrt{s}=4.600$ and 4.843 $\rm GeV$ with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, we observe the decay $\Lambda_c^+\to n\pi^+\eta$ for the first time…

Measurements of the combined CP asymmetries in $\kern 0.18em\overline{\kern -0.18em B}^0 \to D_s^- D^+$ and $\kern 0.18em\overline{\kern -0.18em B}_s^0 \to D_s^+ D^-$ decays are made using proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb…

The DEAP-3600 experiment, with an approximately 3.3 tonne liquid argon (LAr) target, is currently the world's largest single-phase LAr dark matter detector. It is located 2 km underground at SNOLAB, Canada, one of the most radiopure…

An amplitude analysis of the singly Cabibbo-suppressed decay $D^0 \to K^+ K^- \pi^0 \pi^0$ is performed, for the first time, to determine the relative magnitudes and phases of different intermediate processes. The analysis uses $e^+e^-$…
