Thermal light dark matter (LDM) with particle masses in the 1 MeV - 1 GeV range could successfully explain the observed dark matter abundance as a relic from the primordial Universe. In this picture, a new feeble interaction acts as a…
This paper describes an algorithm for reconstructing and identifying a highly collimated hadronically decaying $\tau$-lepton pair with low transverse momentum. When two $\tau$-leptons are highly collimated, their visible decay products…
BESIII (BEijing Spectrometer III) is a particle physics experiment with a vast physics program centered around the study of charmonium and the $\tau$ lepton. The performance of the spectrometer's inner tracker, the innermost part of a large…
Super-Kamiokande is a paramount detector for studying atmospheric, astrophysical and accelerator neutrino physics. This work extracts and characterizes the neutrino reconstruction performance of Super-Kamiokande using the public data…
Boron-doped silicon detectors used in high radiation environments like the future HL-LHC show a degradation in device performance due to the radiation induced deactivation of the active boron dopant. This effect, known as the so-called…
Using $e^+e^-$ collision data at 13 center-of-mass energies ranging from 4.600 to 4.950 GeV collected with the BESIII detector, we search for the unmeasured $e^+e^-\to K_S^0 K_S^0 h_c$ process . No significant signal is observed, and the…
A comprehensive study of the local and nonlocal amplitudes contributing to the decay $B^0\rightarrow K^{*0}(\to K^+\pi^-) \mu^+\mu^-$ is performed by analysing the phase-space distribution of the decay products. The analysis is based on…
The upcoming European Spallation Source (ESS) will soon provide the most intense neutrino source in the world. We propose the Search for Hidden Neutrinos at the ESS (SHiNESS) experiment, highlighting its unique opportunities to search for…
The first measurement of the $CP$ asymmetry of the decay rate ($A_{CP}$) and the $CP$ average ($\Sigma A_{\text{FB}}$) and $CP$ asymmetry ($\Delta A_{\text{FB}}$) of the forward-backward asymmetry in the muon system of…
The KM3NeT Collaboration has tackled a common challenge faced by the astroparticle physics community, namely adapting the experiment-specific simulation software to work with the CORSIKA air shower simulation output. The proposed solution…
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is a next-generation long-baseline neutrino experiment. In addition to GeV-scale oscillation measurements ($\delta_{CP}$, $\theta_{23}$ octant, mass ordering), DUNE features a low-energy…
We present the first amplitude analysis and branching fraction measurement of the decay $D^+_s\to \pi^+\pi^+\pi^-\pi^0\pi^0$, using $e^+e^-$ collision data collected with the BESIII detector at center-of-mass energies between 4.128 and…
Electron antineutrinos are emitted in the decay chains of the fission products inside a reactor core and could be used for remote monitoring of nuclear reactors. The DANSS detector is placed under the core of the 3.1 GW power reactor at the…
A search is performed for dark matter particles produced in association with a resonantly produced pair of $b$-quarks with $30< m_{bb}<150$ GeV using 140 fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV recorded by…
This article presents constraints on dark-matter-electron interactions obtained from the first underground data-taking campaign with multiple SuperCDMS HVeV detectors operated in the same housing. An exposure of 7.63 g-days is used to set…
In neutrino physics, analyses often depend on large simulated datasets, making it essential for models to generalise effectively to real-world detector data. Contrastive learning, a well-established technique in deep learning, offers a…
A measurement of off-shell Higgs boson production in the $H^*\to ZZ\to 4\ell$ decay channel is presented. The measurement uses 140 fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV collected by the ATLAS detector at the Large…
A direct search for new heavy neutral Higgs bosons A and H in the $\mathrm{t\bar{t}}$Z channel is presented, targeting the process pp $\to$ A $\to$ ZH with H $\to$ $\mathrm{t\bar{t}}$. For the first time, the channel with decays of the Z…
