This talk will highlight the latest results from CMS, ATLAS, and LHCb on precision electroweak measurements, including the W boson mass, sin2thetaW, and the g-2 from tau leptons, as well as recent determinations of the strong coupling constant, alphaS, in quantum chromodynamics (QCD).
The standard model (SM) of particle physics is a widely successful theoretical model, as it agrees with the vast majority of measurements in particle physics. However, the SM is not able to explain certain physical observations, leaving it unable to answer some open questions in particle physics. Among the particles predicted by the SM is the Higgs boson: a fundamental scalar boson, central to...
In the last years, experiments with neutrinos from accelerators have been instrumental for our knowledge of neutrino oscillations.
Long baseline neutrino experiments (T2K and NOVA), combining a high-intensity neutrino beam, sophisticated near detectors and massive far detectors, have established a non zero theta13 angle and measured with precision the theta23 angle and the Dm*2_32 mass...
Abstract: Since the discovery of neutrinos, nuclear reactor has played a major role in understanding neutrino physics, from the observation of neutrino oscillations with the precise measurement of $\Delta m_{21}$ and $\theta_{12}$, to the more recent breakthrough precise measurement of $\theta_{13}$ by the Daya Bay, Double Chooz and RENO. With the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory...
A decade ago, the IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole opened a new window into the universe by detecting an astrophysical neutrino flux in the TeV - PeV range. Since then, the field has rapidly evolved. The energy spectrum of astrophysical neutrinos has been measured with ever-increasing precision in multiple detection channels. The first point sources are emerging, with the blazar...
This talk will review the status of experiments measuring solar and geo neutrinos, including recent results and prospects for the near future.
Heavy-ion collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) offer a unique laboratory for probing the quark-gluon plasma (QGP), a novel state of matter believed to have existed shortly after the Big Bang.
This talk will present the latest findings from the LHC, focusing on key observables that shed light on various aspects of the QGP. Heavy-flavor hadrons and jet observables, such as jet...
The talk will cover the status of coherent elastic neutrino nucleus scattering experiments and a brief outlook on the physics potential.
The $K \to \pi \nu \bar\nu$ decay is a "golden mode" for flavour physics. Its branching ratio is predicted with high precision by the Standard Model to be less than $10^{-10}$, and this decay mode is highly sensitive to indirect effects of new physics up to the highest mass scales. The NA62 experiment at the CERN SPS is designed to study the $K^+ \to \pi^+ \nu \bar\nu$ decay, and provided the...
The top quark, the heaviest known elementary particle, plays a crucial role in advancing our understanding of fundamental physics. In this talk, the latest measurements of top quark production and properties from the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the LHC will be discussed. Key results include precise cross section measurements of top quark pair production, single top quark production, and...
The neutrino mass is deeply connected to physics of and beyond the Standard Model and to the evolution of the universe. Direct neutrino mass experiments provide the most model-independent approach to measure the absolute mass scale of neutrinos. In this talk the focus is on the latest results of the KATRIN experiment. In addition I will give an overview on the status and prospects of the field...
This talk will explore the current landscape of neutrinoless double beta decay (0ฮฝฮฒฮฒ) searches, a phenomenon that, if observed, would provide direct evidence that neutrinos are their own antiparticles (Majorana fermions). The implications of such a discovery extend beyond the realm of particle physics, potentially offering insights into the origin of neutrino mass and the matter-antimatter...
PHENIX Overview highlights recent results in pp collisions, such as the sensitivity of direct photons to gluon spin (510 GeV), jet cross section and dilepton production (200 GeV) and J/ฯ yield multiplicity dependence.
In small systems (dAu) the direct photon yield multiplicity dependence and pi0 supression in central collision, in AuAu collisions the new results of direct photon scaling, the...
Rare B decays, mediated by flavor-changing neutral currents, are sensitive probes for
new physics beyond the Standard Model. LHCb at CERN and Belle II at KEK focus on
high-precision measurements of these decays. In this talk, we will discuss recent
measurements from both experiments and highlight why they are ideal detectors
for studying such decays.
Since the first discovery in 2015, the field of gravitational-wave searches has strongly developed, with a total of 90 confirmed detections during the first three observing runs of the Advanced LIGO/Virgo detectors. In this talk, I will present the current status of the Virgo detector and its contribution in the global network of Earth-based detectors. Then, I will discuss the various searches...
The nature of Dark Matter is one of modern physics' most intriguing mysteries. Direct search experiments aim to reveal its secret by studying its potential interactions with "visible" matter. This talk will overview the experimental landscape, focusing on promising Dark Matter candidates investigated in labs. In line with the theme of "physics in collision," it will highlight the search for...
Spectroscopy of heavy hadrons offers a powerful tool for exploring the intricacies of quantum chromodynamics. In traditional hadron spectroscopy, experimental studiesโparticularly the discovery of new hadronic statesโare essential for understanding the nature of exotic hadrons. The extensive flavor dataset collected by the LHCb experiment during the periods 2011-2012 and 2015-2018 presents a...
Two neutrino detectors have been in operation at the LHC interaction point 1 since the start of Run 3 in 2022. The SND@LHC and FASER experiments perform measurements with neutrinos produced at the LHC. These are the highest-energy human-made neutrinos and they are produced in a hitherto unexplored pseudo-rapidity range, inaccessible to other LHC experiments. Their configurations allow...
BESIII has collected 7.93, 7.33, and 4.5 fb$^{-1}$ of e$^+$e$^-$ collision data samples at 3.773, 4.128-4.226, and 4.6-4.7 GeV, which provide the largest dataset of charmed hadron pairs in the world, respectively, and present a unique opportunity to investigate charm decays.
For the hadronic decays, we will present the observation of $D^+$ to $K_s$ $a_0(980)+$ and D to $a_0(980)^+$$\pi$,...
Neutrinos are interesting elusive particles that can provide significant insights into our Universe. Their neutral, stable, and weakly interacting nature, make them ideal messengers to explore the deep Universe. However, the flux of high energy neutrinos is quite low, necessitating the development of large detectors. The KM3NeT collaboration addresses this challenge by building two undersea...
Charmonium decays offer a promising hunting ground for the investigation of light QCD exotics, particularly gluonic excitations such as glueballs and hybrids. These particles are expected to be copiously produced in the gluon-rich environment characteristic of charmonium decays. In this talk, we will report on the discovery of a glueball-like state, X(2370). Additionally, we will present...
LHCb has collected the world's largest sample of charmed hadrons. This sample is used to search for charm rare decays and to measure $C\!P$ violation and the $D^0 -\overline{D}^0$ mixing. New measurements of several decay modes are presented, along with prospects for the sensitivity at the LHCb upgrades.
The Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab seeks to measure the muon magnetic moment anomaly, $a_{\mu} = (g-2)/2$, with a final target precision of 0.14 parts per million (ppm). The experimentโs initial result, published in 2021 using Run-1 data from 2018, confirmed the previous measurement at Brookhaven National Laboratory with a comparable sensitivity of 0.46 ppm. In 2023, new results from Run-2...
LHCb and Belle II are two frontier experiments in flavor physics that operate at the complementary setting of proton-proton and electron-positron collisions, respectively. We report new results from these experiments on the angles of the CKM Unitarity Triangle and the anomalies surrounding decays mediated by b-to-c tree-level transitions.
