Upcoming deep optical surveys such as the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time will scan the sky to unprecedented depths and detect billions of galaxies. This amount of detections will however cause the apparent…
Cosmological parameters can be measured by comparing peculiar velocities with those predicted from a galaxy density field. Previous work has tested the accuracy of this approach with N-body simulations, but generally on idealised mock…
The repeated passage of a coasting ion beam of a storage ring through a thin target induces a shift in the revolution frequency due to the energy loss in the target. Since the frequency shift is proportional to the beam-target overlap, its…
A cross-correlation technique of lensing tomography is presented to measure the evolution of dark energy in the universe. The variation of the weak lensing shear with redshift around massive foreground objects like bright galaxies and…
The effect of ionized gas on the propagation of radio signals is known as plasma lensing. Unlike gravitational lensing, plasma lensing causes both magnification and strong de-magnification effects to background sources. We study the cross…
Central exclusive processes can be studied in CMS by combining the information of the central detector with the Precision Proton Spectrometer (PPS). PPS detectors, placed symmetrically at more than 200 m from the interaction point, can…
Recent results from the CMS experiment on the production of multiple vector bosons in proton-proton collisions at the CERN LHC are presented. Measurements of WZ and ZZ production with fully leptonic decays, Z$(\nu\nu)\gamma$, and WV (V $=$…
In recent years, modelling the evolution of beam losses in circular proton machines starting from the evolution of the dynamic aperture has been the focus of intense research. Results from single-particle, non-linear beam dynamics have been…
Comparisons between observed and predicted strong lensing properties of galaxy clusters have been routinely used to claim either tension or consistency with $\Lambda$CDM cosmology. However, standard approaches to such cosmological tests are…
We consider a set of M images, whose pixel intensities at a common point can be treated as the components of a M-dimensional vector. We are interested in the estimation of the modulus of such a vector associated to a compact source. For…
We aim at investigating potential biases in lensing and X-ray methods to measure the cluster mass profiles. We do so by performing realistic simulations of lensing and X-ray observations that are subsequently analyzed using observational…
The CMS experiment, located at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in CERN, has a redundant muon system composed by three different gaseous detector technologies: Cathode Strip Chambers (in the forward regions), Drift Tubes (in the central…
The results are presented from searches with the CMS experiment for directly-produced dark matter particles. All these searches use the full LHC Run-I dataset of ~20/fb of proton-proton collisions at 8TeV centre-of-mass energy. Final states…
During the Run 2 period of the LHC, the ATLAS and CMS experiments have accumulated proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of around 3 fb$^{-1}$ in 2015 and 36 fb$^{-1}$ in 2016 at a center of mass energy of…
The photon emission rates from the quark gluon plasma have been studied considering LPM suppression effects. The integral equation for the transverse vector function (f(p)) that consists of multiple scattering effects has been solved using…
We experimentally investigate the relative advantages of implementing weak-value-based metrology versus standard methods. While the techniques outlined herein apply more generally, we measure small optical beam deflections both using a…
The measurement and characterization of the lensing of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) is key goal of the current and next generation of CMB experiments. We perform a case study of a three-channel balloon-borne CMB experiment…
We study theoretically the accuracy of the method based on the Fourier property of lenses that is commonly used for the far field measurement. We consider a simple optical setup in which the far-field intensity pattern of a light beam…
This work is aimed at quantifying the uncertainties in the 3D reconstruction of the location of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) obtained with the polarization ratio technique. The method takes advantage of the different distributions along…
A good understanding of the luminosity performance in a collider, as well as reliable tools to analyse, predict, and optimise the performance, are of great importance for the successful planning and execution of future runs. In this…
