In any relativistic quantum field theory, such as quantum chromodynamics or electroweak theory, the interactions are invariant under the combined operation of charge conjugation (C), parity transformation (P) and time reversal (T). One of the consequences of this (CPT) symmetry is that particles and their corresponding antiparticles must have exactly the same mass. While the mass difference...

The field-theoretical S-matrix approach to neutrino oscillations assumes that the initial and final particle states are wave packets, which are superpositions of plane waves, and treats the neutrino as a purely virtual particle, propagating over macroscopic distances.

Hyper-Kamiokande will start collecting accelerator neutrino data in 2028 to measure the leptonic CP violating phase, $\delta_{CP}$. The largest systematic uncertainty is related to the ratio between the $\nu_e$ and $\bar{\nu}_{e}$ cross sections, $\Delta(\sigma_{{\nu}_e}/\sigma_{\bar{\nu}_e})$, whose improper modeling could bias the measurement of $\delta_{CP}$. Sensitivity studies show that...

The study of jet substructure provides tests of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) and offers differential ways to study hadronization mechanisms. QCD predicts that jet radiation patterns depend on the mass and color charge of the initiating parton. Parton showers are sensitive to the different Casimir factors of quarks and gluons, and to the parton mass through the dead-cone effect.

Vector boson scattering is a key production process to probe the electroweak symmetry breaking of the standard model, since it involves both self-couplings of vector bosons and coupling with the Higgs boson. If the Higgs mechanism is not the sole source of electroweak symmetry breaking, the scattering amplitude deviates from the standard model prediction at high scattering energy. Moreover,...

Among nature's most elusive particles, tau neutrinos are notoriously hard to detect, with only a few dozen high-purity events ever observed. The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is set to change this dramatically by using an intense neutrino beam and leveraging millimeter-scale resolution to statistically isolate hundreds of tau-neutrino interactions.

Rare Higgs boson decays provide a unique window on the electroweak symmetry breaking and on potential effects beyond the standard model. The decay H→Zγ, one of the rarest accessible at the LHC, has not yet been observed. This channel is particularly sensitive to new physics, as it occurs exclusively through loop-level processes, and it is uniquely coupling the Higgs boson to the two neutral...

Mesons produced in cosmic-ray-induced hadronic cascades face two competing fates: they may either interact to initiate lower-energy hadronic showers or decay into muons.

This results in a positive correlation between the underground muon flux and...

Model fitting using likelihoods is a crucial part of many analyses in HEP. zfit started over five years ago with the goal of providing this capability within the Python analysis ecosystem by offering a variety of advanced features and high performance tailored to the needs of HEP. After numerous iterations with users and a continuous development, zfit reached a maturity stage with a stable...

Mrs Mariia Kudenko (Institute for Nuclear Research Russian Academy of Science)
Ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECR) can be produced in active galaxies, and directional correlations between them were studied extensively. One puzzling result was the correlations of arrival directions of UHECR and a particular class of active galactic nuclei, BL Lacertae type objects, discovered in 2004 with the HiRes stereo data set [1,2]. If confirmed, this result would definitely mean...

This work aims at the classification of charmed and strange jets originating from $W^\pm$ boson decays in proton–proton collisions using Boosted Decision Trees (BDT) implemented in TMVA, a toolkit of the CERN ROOT framework. The collision events were generated using the Pythia software, from which data were collected and filtered for jet reconstruction with the FastJet package. The...

The XENONnT experiment is a low-background, dual-phase liquid xenon time projection chamber with 5.9 tonnes of instrumented target mass. It is designed primarily to search for the weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs). We present the latest results from a combined WIMP search using data from XENONnT’s first three science runs. This corresponds to a total exposure of 6.5 tonneyears, the...

Dr Hao-Kai Sun (IHEP, CAS)
Modern synchrotron radiation experiments generate multi-modal data that require increasingly complex and varied processing workflows. To address the difficulty of managing these diverse analysis tasks, we have developed a dedicated workflow management system. The system provides a collaborative platform where experimental methods can be encapsulated and integrated into automated pipelines. Key...

Leticia Braga Da Rosa (Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DE))Operation, Performance and Upgrade of Present DetectorsPoster (early career: student or postdoctoral researcher)
The High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) upgrade will increase the instantaneous luminosity by up to a factor of five beyond the current LHC design, imposing strict requirements on the CMS tracking system. The Phase-II Outer Tracker will employ novel silicon Pixel-Strip (PS) modules capable of performing transverse momentum discrimination for the Level-1 trigger. A key component of the PS module is...

Dr AmirFarzan Esmaeili (Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP))
High-energy neutrinos are often regarded as a robust signature of hadronic activity in astrophysical sources. However, at sufficiently high energies, purely leptonic electromagnetic (EM) cascades initiated by photons or $e^\pm$ can convert a non-negligible fraction of injected EM power into neutrinos through muon/pion-producing QED processes. In this talk I will present a unified and...

Molecular magnets, although analogous to familiar macroscopic magnets, offer a platform for next generation magnetic storage technologies with far higher data densities and prospective applications in quantum information science. When exposed to an external magnetic field, single molecule magnets enter a frustrated magnetic configuration that is exceptionally sensitive to low energy...

Dariusz Gora, for the Pierre Auger Collaboration (Institute of Nuclear Physics PAN)
The Pierre Auger Observatory, while primarily designed to detect ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs), possesses a high sensitivity to neutrinos with energies exceeding 100 PeV. By identifying the unique characteristics of highly inclined air showers, i.e., those with zenith angles above 60 degrees, the Observatory efficiently detects neutrinos of all flavors. This presentation reviews the...

Mr Rajendra Neupane (Central Department of Physics, Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu, Nepal)
The sources of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos remain largely unknown. Multi-wavelength observational campaigns have identified a few plausible candidates, but their numbers are very few. We look for an excess of high-energy neutrino events originating from blazar sources, compared to the number we expect from background sources. We generate random samples of events following the right...
