In 2015, the Large Hadron Collider set a new record, colliding protons at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 tera electron volts. This increase in energy means an increase in sensitivity in searches for new physics for detectors at the LHC. ATLAS has completed a large number of searches for phenomena motivated by theories of physics beyond the Standard Model using the data collected at this...

The T2K experiment is a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment based in Japan. An off-axis, high purity $\nu_\mu$ beam is directed towards a near detector complex (ND280), situated 280 m from the neutrino production target, and the Super-Kamiokande (SK) far detector at 295 km. This talk describes the T2K beam and detectors, including a novel optical transition radiation monitor for...

IceCube and its low energy extension DeepCore, located at South Pole Station Antarctica,
has now acquired nearly 5 years of data in the final detector configuration. In that time, IceCube has detected the Universe's highest energy neutrinos to date, and DeepCore has achieved measurements of atmospheric neutrino oscillations near 25 GeV that are competitive with dedicated experiments at lower...
