The neutrinos produced in $\tau$ decays cannot be directly detected, making the reconstruction of $\tau$ kinematics challenging and affecting measurements of quantum correlations such as spin entanglement. For the process $e^+e^- \to…
We present the result from a precision measurement of the mass of the $\tau$ lepton, $M_\tau$, based on $423 fb^{-1}$ of data recorded at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the BaBar detector. Using a pseudomass endpoint method, we determine…
Studies of Higgs boson properties are crucial for the understanding the Standard Model (SM), as it could couple to new particles and provide hints to physics Beyond the Standard Model (BSM). Different future colliders are proposed, among…
We investigate the method for constructing the invariant mass using the M_T2-assisted on-shell (MAOS) approximation to the invisible particle momenta in the cascade decays of a new particle resonance produced at hadron colliders. We note…
We present a search for high-mass resonances decaying into two leptons of different flavor: $e\mu$, $e\tau$ and $\mu\tau$. These resonances are predicted by several models for Physics Beyond the Standard Model, such as R-parity-violating…
The precise reconstruction of the mass peak of long-lived heavy neutral leptons (HNLs) helps to improve the sensitivity for sterile neutrino searches in both fixed-target and collider environments (e.g., SHiP and the LHC). We present an…
We consider a spin-$1$ resonance produced with an arbitrary spectrum of velocities and decaying into a pair of massless leptons, and we study the probability density function of the energy of the leptons in the laboratory frame. A special…
This paper presents a new method of reconstructing the individual charged and neutral hadrons in tau decays with the ATLAS detector. The reconstructed hadrons are used to classify the decay mode and to calculate the visible four-momentum of…
A search for heavy resonances that decay to tau lepton pairs is performed using proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 13 TeV. The data were collected with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 2.2…
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…
We present an improved method of reconstructing New Physics (NP) masses from invariant mass endpoints. While the traditional method focuses on a single NP decay, our method considers the decays of two or more NP particles ($ABC...$) in a…
Neutral-current semileptonic $B$ decays are plagued by hadronic resonances across the dilepton invariant-mass squared spectrum, $q^2$. For light leptons, $\ell=e,\mu$, these resonances can be avoided with suitable $q^2$ cuts. This strategy…
A search for new high-mass resonances in proton-proton collisions having final states with an electron or muon and missing transverse momentum is presented. The analysis uses proton-proton collision data collected in 2016 with the CMS…
An energy scan near the $\tau$ pair production threshold has been performed using the BESIII detector. About $24$ pb$^{-1}$ of data, distributed over four scan points, was collected. This analysis is based on $\tau$ pair decays to $ee$,…
We present a set of Lorentz invariant kinematic variables for reconstructing mass of semi-invisible decaying particles pair-produced at lepton colliders, $m_{\rm RC}^{\rm min}$, $m_{\rm RC}^{\rm max}$ and $m_{\rm LSP}^{\rm max}$, with…
A search for new particles has been conducted using events with two high transverse momentum (pt) tau leptons that decay hadronically, at least two high-pt jets, and missing transverse energy from the tau lepton decays. The analysis is…
Motivated by the recent investigation of neutrinoless $\tau$-lepton decays by the CLEO collaboration, we perform a systematic analysis of such decays in a possible new-physics scenario with heavy Dirac/Majorana neutrinos, including…
A new algorithm is presented to discriminate reconstructed hadronic decays of tau leptons ($\tau_\mathrm{h}$) that originate from genuine tau leptons in the CMS detector against $\tau_\mathrm{h}$ candidates that originate from quark or…
We study the possibility of utilising the constrained mass variable, $M_{2Cons}$, in reconstructing the semi-invisible events originated from a resonant production at the LHC. While this proposal is effective for any similar antler type…
This paper describes the algorithms used by the CMS experiment to reconstruct and identify tau to hadrons + tau neutrino decays during Run 1 of the LHC. The performance of the algorithms is studied in proton-proton collisions recorded at a…
