The LHC's proton-proton collisions at an unprecedented energy of 13 TeV open a new era in searches for new particles and precision tests of the Standard Model. The measurements of heavy flavour production can be used to precisely test the knowledge of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), ascertain the future sensitivity of LHCb analyses at 13 TeV and quantify SM backgrounds in new physics searches....

The ATLAS New Small Wheels (NSW) Phase I Muon System upgrade will use Micromegas and small-strip Thin Gap Chambers (sTGC) as both trigger and precision tracking detectors. A new ASIC, the VMM, is being developed for the front end of both detector technologies. The VMM is a sophisticated ASIC, System on Chip (SOC), providing digitized amplitude and time information as well as independent...
We study WZ production with anomalous couplings (AC) at approximate NNLO
QCD using the LoopSim method in combination with the Monte Carlo
program VBFNLO. Higher order corrections to WZ production are
dominated by additional hard jet radiation. Those contributions are
insensitive to AC and should thus be suppressed in analyses. We do
this using a dynamical jet veto based on the transverse...

The ATLAS experiment at the LHC is planning a second phase of upgrades to prepare for the "High
Luminosity LHC", a 4th major run due to start in 2026. In order to deliver an order of magnitude more data than
previous runs, 14 TeV protons will collide with an instantaneous luminosity of 7.5 × 1034 cm−2s−1, resulting
in much higher pileup and data rates than the current experiment was...
Baryon number violation is required for baryogenesis and features in a number of topical extensions of the Standard Model. In this talk, experimental results which are sensitive to baryon number violation are interpreted within R-parity violating supersymmetry scenarios with non-zero baryon number violating couplings and a simplified sparticle mass spectra. Processes with $\Delta B=2$ which...
The measurement of Higgs pair production will be a cornerstone of the LHC program in the coming years. Double Higgs production provides a crucial window upon the mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking and has a unique sensitivity to the Higgs trilinear coupling. We study the feasibility of a measurement of Higgs pair production in the bbbb final state at the LHC. Our analysis is based on a...
Charged Higgs boson certainly is a proof of physics beyond the standard model.
LHC has been searching for the charged Higgs boson in the standard decay modes of
tau, nu. The doublet like charged Higgs boson in 2HDM and MSSM can be produced either
from top quark decay or b gluon fusion for light and heavy charged Higgs bosons. The
mass limits coming from these standard productions and...

luminosities of 1 fb$^{-1}$ at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV and 2 fb$^{-1}$
at 8 TeV have been collected with the LHCb detector. The consequent world's largest
sample of beauty hadrons has enabled the LHCb collaboration to perform various
measurements of $CP$ violation in beauty decays. The latest LHCb results...
LHCb has collected the world's largest sample of charmed hadrons during the run 1. This allowed several most precise measurements to be shown in this talk. Among those, a measurement of Delta A CP, the relative strength of direct, time-integrated CP asymmetries between two singly-Cabibbo suppressed two-body D0 decays, which was recently updated using D0 promptly produced at the primary vertex...
In recent years, micropattern gaseous detectors received significant attention in the development of precision and cost-effective tracking detectors in nuclear and high energy physics experiments. The important task for these detectors is not only a precise position measurement, but also the determination of the incoming angle of traversing particles in high rate environments, present for...
Large size resistive Micromegas (MM) detectors will be employed for the first time in high-energy physics experiments for the Phase I upgrade of the ATLAS Muon Spectrometer at the LHC. The current innermost stations of the muon end-cap system, the Small Wheel, will be upgraded to retain the good precision tracking and trigger capabilities in the high background environment expected with the...
Weak vector boson scattering at high energies will be one of the key measurements
in current and upcoming LHC runs. It is most sensitive to any new physics associated
with electroweak symmetry breaking. However, a conventional EFT analysis will fail at
high energies.
To address this problem, we present a parameter-free prescription valid for arbitrary
perturbative and non-perturbative...
The LHCb experiment has the unique property to study heavy ion interactions in the forward and backward hemisphere in a kinematic region not accessible to the general purpose detectors, thanks to its forward acceptance 2<$\eta$<5, and the possibility to study proton-lead collisions for both orientations of the beams. Furthermore, using the possibility to inject gas into the interaction region,...

Combining this calculation with the latest ATLAS results at 8 TeV,...

We have derived a simple analytical formula for the anomalous magnetic moment of the Higgs boson in a sufficiently strong magnetic field. We have performed numerical estimations on the anomalous magnetic moment of the...
The Missing Transverse Energy is a key observable in many CMS searches for Physics Beyond Standard Model. A detailed and precise understanding of this quantity is required to accomplish the CMS Physics program, while the high collision rate at the CMS detector during the 13 TeV data-taking periods of the LHC poses challenges to reconstruction far beyond those previously overcome.

In this poster, results of the Phase1 upgrade of the CMS Hadron Calorimeter (HF) will be discussed. The CMS-HF Calorimeter was using regular PMTs. Cherenkov light produced in the fibers embedded in the absorber was read out with the PMTs. However, occasionally stray muons hitting the PMT windows cause Cherenkov radiation in the PMT itself and produce large signals. These large signals mimic a...
