The standard Model describes well the ordinary matter, but it fails to accommodate recent experimental anomalies, such as dark matter. Dark matter is inferred by the gravitational effect only, and its nature is a mystery. Dark matter may couple to the ordinary matter via portals. The corresponding particles could be light Higgs and dark bosons, axion-like particles and spin-1/2 fermion. These...
The BABAR experiment continues to produce interesting new constraints from searches for new physics in exotic and dark sector signatures using its extensive data set of B factory data collected in the vicinity of the Upsilon(4S) resonance. This large data set, with well-understood detector conditions and precisely controlled systematics, has demonstrated utility for both exotic rare decay...
The Micromegas detectors are part of the New Small Wheel (NSW) system of the ATLAS experiment, the largest upgrade project of Phase-1. Together with sTGC detectors they provide trigger and tracking capability in the innermost station of the end-cap part of the Muon
spectrometer.
The Micromegas detector of ATLAS cover an active area of about 1280 m^2, has 1024 HV channels and 2.1 M readout...
The instantaneous luminosity of the Large Hadron
Collider at CERN will be increased by about a factor
of five with respect to the design value by
undergoing an extensive upgrade program over the
coming decade. The largest phase-1 upgrade project
for the ATLAS Muon System was the replacement of the
first station in the forward regions with the New
Small Wheels (NSWs) which took place...

sPHENIX is a new collider detector at RHIC designed for pioneering studies of the Quark-Gluon Plasma with jets and heavy flavor probes. The large acceptance of the detector, including forward sub-detectors; as well as excellent tracking and high data-taking rate also allows for the measurement of bulk phenomena such as soft particle production and collective flow. Commissioning of sPHENIX...
Photons provide snapshots of the evolution of relativistic heavy-ion collisions as they are emitted at all stages and do not interact with the medium strongly. Measurements of low momentum direct photons at PHENIX across different systems, from p+p to Au+Au have been made possible due to the versatility of RHIC. An excess of direct photons above prompt photon production from hard scattering...
The SPD experiment will be built at the NICA collider in JINR, which will accelerate polarized pp (dd) beams with collision energy up to 27 GeV (13.5 GeV) per nucleon. The primary goal of SPD is the study of the spin-dependent gluon structure of proton and deuteron by providing access to gluon TMD functions. At the same time, the physics program of the experiment extends to the investigation...
Recent spin physics results from PHENIX
With large acceptance and excellent particle identification, STAR has facilitated a variety of exciting measurements covering a wide range of physics topics.
The versatility and precision of the STAR detector, accompanied by the unique capability of RHIC to collide polarized hadrons at various energies, has opened new avenues for investigations of the proton spin structure.
