The\n$p_T$-dependence of the jet charge distribution average and standard deviation\nare compared to predictions obtained with several LO and NLO parton\ndistribution functions. The data are also compared to different Monte Carlo\nsimulations of QCD dijet production using various settings of the free\nparameters within these models. The chosen value of the strong coupling\nconstant used to calculate gluon radiation is found to have a significant\nimpact on the predicted jet charge. There is evidence for a $p_{T}$-dependence\nof the jet charge distribution for a given jet flavor. In agreement with\nperturbative QCD predictions, the data show that the average jet charge of\nquark-initiated jets decreases in magnitude as the energy of the jet increases.",

Due to the high sensitivity of the NN --> NNgamma reaction to the\nnucleon-nucleon potential, Bremsstrahlung radiation is used as a tool to\ninvestigate details of the nucleon-nucleon interaction. Such investigations can\nbe performed at the cooler synchrotron COSY in the Research Centre Juelich, by\ndint of the COSY-11 detection system. For the first time at the COSY--11\nexperiment signals from gamma - quanta were observed in the time-of-flight\ndistribution of neutral particles measured with the neutral particle detector.\nIn this thesis the results of the identification of Bremsstrahlung radiation\nemitted via the dp --> dpgamma reaction in data taken with a proton target and\na deuteron beam are presented and discussed. The time resolution of the neutral\nparticle detector and its timing calibration are crucial for the identification\nof the dp --> dpgamma reaction.

With a total exposure of\n7.5 MW $\\times$ 10$^7$ sec integrated proton beam power (corresponding to\n$1.56\\times10^{22}$ protons on target with a 30 GeV proton beam) to a\n$2.5$-degree off-axis neutrino beam, it is expected that the leptonic $CP$\nphase $\\delta_{CP}$ can be determined to better than 19 degrees for all\npossible values of $\\delta_{CP}$, and $CP$ violation can be established with a\nstatistical significance of more than $3\\,\\sigma$ ($5\\,\\sigma$) for $76\\%$\n($58\\%$) of the $\\delta_{CP}$ parameter space. Using both $\\nu_e$ appearance\nand $\\nu_\\mu$ disappearance data, the expected 1$\\sigma$ uncertainty of\n$\\sin^2\\theta_{23}$ is 0.015(0.006) for $\\sin^2\\theta_{23}=0.5(0.45)$.",

All the asymmetries have been found to be small,\nand compatible with zero, a result which has been interpreted as a cancellation\nbetween the u and d-quark contributions.

We show that novel machine\nlearning algorithms, specifically Normalizing Flows and Flow Matching, can be\nused to replicate accurate simulations from traditional approaches with several\norders of magnitude of speed-up. The classical simulation chain starts from a\nphysics process of interest, computes energy deposits of particles and\nelectronics response, and finally employs the same reconstruction algorithms\nused for data. Eventually, the data are reduced to some high-level analysis\nformat. Instead, we propose an end-to-end approach, simulating the final data\nformat directly from physical generator inputs, skipping any intermediate\nsteps. We use particle jets simulation as a benchmark for comparing both\ndiscrete and continuous Normalizing Flows models. The models are validated\nacross a variety of metrics to identify the most accurate. We discuss the\nscaling of performance with the increase in training data, as well as the\ngeneralization power of these models on physical processes different from the\ntraining one. We investigate sampling multiple times from the same physical\ngenerator inputs, a procedure we name oversampling, and we show that it can\neffectively reduce the statistical uncertainties of a dataset. This class of ML\nalgorithms is found to be capable of learning the expected detector response\nindependently of the physical input process.

The primary energy loss mechanism\nfor nuclear recoil is heat, leading to consistently smaller measurable\nscintillation signals compared to electron recoils of the same energy. The\nnuclear recoil quenching factor (QF), representing the ratio of scintillation\nlight yield produced by nuclear recoil to that of electron recoil at the same\nenergy, is a critical parameter for understanding dark matter and neutrino\ninteractions with nuclei. The low energy QF of NaI(Tl) crystals, commonly\nemployed in dark matter searches and CE$\\nu$NS measurements, is of substantial\nimportance.

We find that\nscattering off nuclear targets as measured in MINERvA is not in good agreement\nwith scattering off nucleon (hydrogen or deuterium) targets in the bubble\nchamber data. An additional ad hoc correction for the low-$Q^2$ region, where\ncollective effects are expected to be large, is also presented. While these\ntunings and corrections improve the agreement of GENIE with the data, the\nmodeling is imperfect. The development of these tunings within the NUISANCE\nframeworkallows for straightforward extensions to other neutrino event\ngenerators and models, and allows omitting and including new data sets as they\nbecome available."

In previous measurements of azimuthal\nasymmetries this contribution was not taken into account, because it was not\nknown that it could distort the azimuthal modulations. Presently, a method to\nevaluate the contribution of the exclusive reactions to the azimuthal\nasymmetries measured by COMPASS has been developed. The subtraction of this\ncontribution results in a better understanding of the kinematic effects, and\nthe remaining non-zero $\\cos 2\\phi_h$ modulation gives indication for a\nnon-zero Boer-Mulders effect.",

A central part of the Higgs programme at an e+e- collider\nis the model-independent determination of the absolute Higgs couplings to\nfermions and to gauge bosons. Here the measurement of the e+e-->HZ\nHiggsstrahlung cross section, using the recoil mass technique, sets the\nabsolute scale for all Higgs coupling measurements. Previous studies have\nconsidered e+e- ->ZH with Z->l+l-, where l = electron or muon. In this paper it\nis shown for the first time that a near model-independent recoil mass technique\ncan be extended to the hadronic decays of the Z boson. Because the branching\nratio for Z->qq is approximately ten times greater than for Z->l+l-, this\nmethod is statistically more powerful than using the leptonic decays. For an\nintegrated luminosity of 500 fb-1 at a centre-of-mass energy of 350 GeV at\nCLIC, the e+e-->HZ cross section can be measured to 1.8 % using the hadronic\nrecoil mass technique.

Precise experimental studies of the hadron excitation spectrum and the\ndynamics of hadrons help to improve models and to test effective theories and\nlattice QCD simulations. In addition, QCD seems to allow hadrons beyond the\nthree-quark and quark-antiquark configurations of the constituent-quark model.\nThese so-called exotic hadrons contain additional constituent (anti)quarks or\nexcited gluonic fields that contribute to the quantum numbers of the hadron.\nThe COMPASS experiment at CERN is studying the excitation spectrum of light\nmesons composed of up, down, and strange quarks. The excited mesons are\nproduced via the strong interaction by scattering a 190 GeV/c pion beam off\nproton or nuclear targets. On heavy nuclear targets, in addition the\nelectromagnetic interaction contributes in the form of quasi-real photon\nexchange at very low four-momentum transfer squared. COMPASS has performed the\nmost comprehensive analyses to date of isovector resonances decaying into\nmulti-particle final states. In this review, we give a general introduction\ninto scattering theory and the employed partial-wave analysis techniques. We\nalso describe novel methods developed for the high-precision COMPASS data. The\nCOMPASS results are summarized and compared to previous measurements. In\naddition, we discuss possible signals for exotic mesons and conclude that\nCOMPASS data provide solid evidence for the existence of the manifestly exotic\n$\\pi_1(1600)$, which has quantum numbers forbidden for a quark-model state, and\nof the $a_1(1420)$, which does not fit into the quark-model spectrum.

It was proposed in \"Amplification of endpoint structure\nfor new particle mass measurement at the LHC\" that a measurement of the peak of\nthe $m_{CT2}$ distribution could be used to precisely constrain the masses of\nthe SUSY particles.

Among other\npossibilities, the FCC-ee will be able to (i) indirectly discover new particles\ncoupling to the Higgs and/or electroweak bosons up to scales around 7 and 50\nTeV, respectively; (ii) perform competitive SUSY tests at the loop level in\nregions not accessible at the LHC; (iii) study heavy-flavor and tau physics in\nultra-rare decays beyond the LHC reach, and (iv) achieve the best potential in\ndirect collider searches for dark matter, sterile neutrinos, and axion-like\nparticles with masses up to around 90 GeV. The tunnel can then be reused for a\nproton-proton collider, establishing record center-of-mass collision energy,\nallowing unprecedented reach for direct searches for new particles up to the\naround 50 TeV scale, and a diverse program of measurements of the Standard\nModel and Higgs boson, including a precision measurement of the Higgs\nself-coupling, and conclusively testing weakly-interacting massive particle\nscenarios of thermal relic dark matter."

We\npropose to use the proton linac of the European Spallation Source currently\nunder construction in Lund, Sweden to deliver, in parallel with the spallation\nneutron production, a very intense, cost effective and high performance\nneutrino beam. The baseline program for the European Spallation Source linac is\nthat it will be fully operational at 5 MW average power by 2022, producing 2\nGeV 2.86 ms long proton pulses at a rate of 14 Hz. Our proposal is to upgrade\nthe linac to 10 MW average power and 28 Hz, producing 14 pulses/s for neutron\nproduction and 14 pulses/s for neutrino production. Furthermore, because of the\nhigh current required in the pulsed neutrino horn, the length of the pulses\nused for neutrino production needs to be compressed to a few $\\mu$s with the\naid of an accumulator ring.

In the LUX detector, signatures of low-mass DM\ninteractions would be very low energy ($\\sim$keV) scatters in the active target\nthat ionize only a few xenon atoms and seldom produce detectable scintillation\nsignals. In this regime, extra precaution is required to reject a complex set\nof low-energy electron backgrounds that have long been observed in this class\nof detector. Noticing backgrounds from the wire grid electrodes near the top\nand bottom of the active target are particularly pernicious, we develop a\nmachine learning technique based on ionization pulse shape to identify and\nreject these events. We demonstrate the technique can improve Poisson limits on\nlow-mass DM interactions by a factor of $2$-$7$ with improvement depending\nheavily on the size of ionization signals. We use the technique on events in an\neffective $5$ tonne$\\cdot$day exposure from LUX's 2013 science operation to\nplace strong limits on low-mass DM particles with masses in the range\n$m_{\\chi}\\in0.15$-$10$ GeV.

Then, it is shown that the SK assumption for the\nscattering angle of the charged leptons in the QEL is not valid. Further, we\nexamine the influence of the azimuthal angle of the charged leptons over their\nzenith angle. As the result, we conclude that the zenith angle distribution of\nthe neutrino under the SK assumption does not reflect the real zenith angle\ndistribution of the atmospheric neutrino which produces Fully Contained Events\nand Partially Contained Events. This result has clear implication for attempts\nto detect neutrino oscillations from the analyses of Fully Contained Events and\nPartially Contained Events in Superkamiokande.",

The ADMX experiment uses a cylindrical\ncavity operating at the fundamental mode to search for axions in the few\nmicro-eV mass range. However, the ADMX search technique becomes increasingly\nchallenging with increasing axion mass. This is because higher masses require\nsmaller-diameter cavities, and a smaller cavity volume reduces the signal\nstrength. Thus, there is interest in developing more sophisticated resonators\nto overcome this problem. The ADMX-Orpheus experiment uses a dielectric-loaded\nFabry-Perot cavity to search for axions and dark photons with masses\napproaching 100 micro-eV. Orpheus maintains a large volume by operating at a\nhigher-order mode, and the dielectrics shape the electric field so that the\nmode couples more strongly to the axion and dark photon.

However, its nature remains\none of the most challenging and fundamental open questions of particle physics.\nAssuming particle DM, this exotic form of matter cannot consist of Standard\nModel (SM) particles. Many models have been developed to attempt unraveling the\nnature of DM such as Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs), the most\nfavored particle candidates.

This entailed a scan of the\nspin precession frequency. At resonance between the spin precession frequency\nof deuterons and the ALP-induced EDM oscillation frequency there will be an\naccumulation of the polarization component out of the ring plane. Since the\naxion frequency is unknown, the momentum of the beam and consequently the spin\nprecession frequency were ramped to search for a vertical polarization change\nthat would occur when the resonance is crossed. At COSY, four beam bunches with\ndifferent polarization directions were used to make sure that no resonance was\nmissed because of the unknown relative phase between the polarization\nprecession and the axion/ALP field. A frequency window of 1.5-kHz width around\nthe spin precession frequency of 121 kHz was scanned.

A precise description of background processes\nis crucial to reach the optimal sensitivity for a measurement. However, the\nselection of the control region used to describe the background process in a\nregion of interest biases the distribution of some physics observables,\nrendering the use of such observables impossible in a physics analysis. Rather\nthan discarding these events and/or observables, we propose a novel method to\ngenerate physics objects compatible with the region of interest and properly\ndescribing the correlations with the rest of the event properties. We use a\ngenerative adversarial network (GAN) for this task, as GANs are among the best\ngenerator models for various applications. We illustrate the method by\ngenerating a new misidentified photon for the $\\gamma + \\mathrm{jets}$\nbackground of the $\\mathrm{H}\\to\\gamma\\gamma$ analysis at the CERN LHC, and\ndemonstrate that this GAN generator is able to produce a coherent object\ncorrelated with the different properties of the rest of the event.",

These facilities are thus the ideal tool for high-precision\nneutrino cross-section measurements at the GeV scale because they offer\nsuperior control of beam systematics with respect to existing facilities. In\nthis paper, we present the first end-to-end design of a monitored neutrino beam\ncapable of monitoring lepton production at the single particle level. This goal\nis achieved by a new focusing system without magnetic horns, a 20 m\nnormal-conducting transfer line for charge and momentum selection, and a 40 m\ntunnel instrumented with cost-effective particle detectors. Employing such a\ndesign, we show that percent precision in cross-section measurements can be\nachieved at the CERN SPS complex with existing neutrino detectors."

This observable is sensitive to physics BSM\nwith new scalar or pseudoscalar effective operators, such as theories involving\nan extended Higgs sector. Here the prospects of the ATLAS, CMS and the LHCb\nexperiments for such a measurement are discussed.

        "positive": "Post-hoc regularisation of unfolded cross-section measurements: Neutrino cross-section measurements are often presented as unfolded binned\ndistributions in \"true\" variables. The ill-posedness of the unfolding problem\ncan lead to results with strong anti-correlations and fluctuations between\nbins, which make comparisons to theoretical models in plots difficult. To\nalleviate this problem, one can introduce regularisation terms in the unfolding\nprocedure. These suppress the anti-correlations in the result, at the cost of\nintroducing some bias towards the expected shape of the data. This paper\ndiscusses a method using simple linear algebra, which makes it is possible to\nregularise any result that is presented as a central value and a covariance\nmatrix. This \"post-hoc\" regularisation is generally much faster than repeating\nthe unfolding method with different regularisation terms. The method also\nyields a regularisation matrix which connects the regularised to the\nunregularised result, and can be used to retain the full statistical power of\nthe unregularised result when publishing a nicer looking regularised result. In\naddition to the regularisation method, this paper also presents some thoughts\non the presentation of correlated data in general. When using the proposed\nmethod, the bias of the regularisation can be understood as a data\nvisualisation problem rather than a statistical one. The strength of the\nregularisation can be chosen by minimising the difference between the\nimplicitly uncorrelated distribution shown in the plots and the actual\ndistribution described by the unregularised central value and covariance. Aside\nfrom minimising the difference between the shown and the actual result,\nadditional information can be provided by showing the local log-likelihood\ngradient of the models shown in the plots. This adds more information about\nwhere the model is \"pulled\" by the data than just comparing the bin values to\nthe data's central values."

This leaves\nneutrinos as the most promising portal for Beyond Standard Model (BSM) physics,\nand neutrinos have already provided fruitful surprises.\n  A number of neutrino experiments in the last three decades have observed\nanomalous oscillation signals consistent with a mass-squared splitting of\n$\\Delta m^2 \\sim 1\\ \\textrm{eV}^2$, motivating the existence and search for\nsterile neutrinos. On the other hand, other experiments have failed to see such\na signal.\n  In this thesis, we present two analyses. The first is an update to the\nsterile neutrino global fits with the inclusion of recent experimental data. We\nfind that the 3+1 model provides a better fit to the global data set compared\nto the null, with an improvement of $\\Delta \\chi^2 = 51$ with the addition of\nonly 3 degrees of freedom, corresponding to $6.6\\sigma$. While a substantial\nimprovement, we also find a irreconcilable tension between the data sets of\n$5.1\\sigma$, calculated using the parameter goodness-of-fit test. This\nmotivates the exploration of expanded models: a 3+2 model, and a 3+1+Decay\nmodel. In the 3+2 model, we find negligible improvement to the fit, and an even\nworse tension of $5.5\\sigma$. In the more exotic 3+1+Decay model, we find the\ntension reduced to $3.6\\sigma$. While a substantial improvement compared to the\n3+1 model with the introduction of only one additional parameter, the tension\nis still too large to assuage concerns.\n  The second analysis is the results of an expanded IceCube sterile neutrino\nsearch. A previous sterile neutrino search found no evidence for sterile\nneutrinos, finding a p-value of 8%. Of the three sterile mixing angles,\n$\\theta_{14}, \\theta_{24}$, and $\\theta_{34}$, only $\\theta_{24}$ was fitted\nfor, as $\\theta_{14}$ was negligible and $\\theta_{34} = 0$ was considered a\nconservative assumption.

For that\nreason, the study of the asymmetries between W+ and W- in Drell--Yan like\nprocesses (production of single W decaying into leptons), studied to extract\nthe properties of the W boson, is described thoroughly in this document.

The results are based on data from proton-proton\ncollisions at the Large Hadron Collider at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV\ncollected by the CMS experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of\n77.5 fb$^{-1}$. No statistically significant excess of events is observed\nrelative to the standard model expectations.

The LLPs are assumed to decay to a pair of standard model quarks\nthat are identified as displaced jets within the CMS tracker system.

However, uncertainties of other\nimportant parameters, in particular the multiplicity and elasticity of high\nenergy interactions, have not improved, and there is a remaining uncertainty\ndue to the total cross section.

Though originally measured in lower\nenergy fixed target experiments, they have been found to persist in collisions\nwith momentum transfer well into the perturbative regime of quantum\nchromodynamics (QCD) and yet their origin remains poorly understood. TSSA\nmeasurements have allowed for the development of both transverse momentum\ndependent and collinear twist-3 descriptions of nonperturbative spin-momentum\ncorrelations for both initial- and final-state effects. Results are presented\nfor the TSSAs of direct photons, neutral pions, and eta mesons in the\npseudorapidity range $|\\eta|<0.35$ from $p^\\uparrow+p$ collisions with\n$\\sqrt{s} = 200$ GeV at PHENIX. As hadrons, $\\pi^0$ and $\\eta$ mesons are\nsensitive to both initial- and final-state effects. At midrapidity, $\\pi^0$ and\n$\\eta$ measurements are sensitive to the dynamics of gluons along with a mix of\nquark flavors. These results are a factor of three increase in statistical\nprecision and extend to higher transverse momentum when compared with previous\nPHENIX measurements in this kinematic region. Because direct photon production\ndoes not include hadronization, the direct photon TSSA is only sensitive to\nspin-momentum correlations in the proton. The kinematics of this result in\nparticular make the direct photon TSSA a clean probe of gluon dynamics in the\ntransversely polarized proton. All three of these asymmetries will help\nconstrain the twist-3 trigluon collinear correlation function as well as the\ngluon Sivers function, improving our knowledge of spin-dependent gluon dynamics\nin QCD.",

In particular,\nthe role of color flow is now being explored through many different\nobservables; one such observable is nearly back-to-back hadron correlations in\nproton-proton collisions which are predicted to be sensitive to states that are\nentangled via their QCD color charge. The PHENIX detector at the Relativistic\nHeavy Ion Collider is well suited to study potential effects from color flow.\nAngular correlations between nearly back-to-back hadrons or a direct\nphoton-hadron are measured to study the prediction of color entanglement or\nfactorization breaking. The correlations can be treated in a\ntransverse-momentum-dependent framework where sensitivity to non-Abelian\neffects from color are predicted.

However, this result will remain inconclusive until\nsystematic data on energy and system size dependence will be available.\nMoreover, fluctuations in p+p as well as in Pb+Pb interactions should be better\nunderstood.\n  In this contribution results on multiplicity fluctuations of identified\nhadrons in p+p interactions at the CERN SPS energies will be presented. The\nNA61 data will be compared with the corresponding results from central Pb+Pb\ncollisions of NA49 in the common acceptance region of both experiments.\nMoreover, predictions of models (EPOS, UrQMD and HSD) for both reactions will\nbe tested."

This increase of\nthe data sample at LHCb is an unprecedented opportunity for heavy flavour\nphysics measurements. A first upgrade of LHCb, completed in 2022, has already\nimplemented important changes of the LHCb detector and, for the Upgrade II,\nfurther detector improvements are being considered. Such a luminosity increase\nwill have an impact not only on the LHCb detector but also on the LHC magnets,\ncryogenics and electronic equipment placed in the IR8. In fact, the LHCb\nexperiment was conceived to work at a much lower luminosity than ATLAS and CMS,\nimplying minor requirements for protection of the LHC elements from the\ncollision debris and therefore a different layout around the interaction point.\nThe luminosity target proposed for the Upgrade II requires to review the layout\nof the entire insertion region in order to ensure safe operation of the LHC\nmagnets and to mitigate the risk of failure of the electronic devices.

They are utilised in\neverything from trigger systems to reconstruction and data analysis. The recent\nUCluster method is a general model providing unsupervised clustering of\nparticle physics data, that can be easily modified to provide solutions for a\nvariety of different decision problems. In the current paper, we improve on the\nUCluster method by adding the option of training the model in a scalable and\ndistributed fashion, and thereby extending its utility to learn from\narbitrarily large data sets. UCluster combines a graph-based neural network\ncalled ABCnet with a clustering step, using a combined loss function in the\ntraining phase. The original code is publicly available in TensorFlow v1.14 and\nhas previously been trained on a single GPU. It shows a clustering accuracy of\n81% when applied to the problem of multi-class classification of simulated jet\nevents. Our implementation adds the distributed training functionality by\nutilising the Horovod distributed training framework, which necessitated a\nmigration of the code to TensorFlow v2. Together with using parquet files for\nsplitting data up between different compute nodes, the distributed training\nmakes the model scalable to any amount of input data, something that will be\nessential for use with real LHC data sets. We find that the model is well\nsuited for distributed training, with the training time decreasing in direct\nrelation to the number of GPU's used.

Heavy flavours,\nproduced at the The Large Hadron Collider, are excellent tools to investigate\nthe properties of the QCD medium produced in heavy-ion collisions. Baseline\nmeasurements of heavy flavour production mechanisms in pp collisions are\nnecessary in order to understand the production in the medium as well as medium\ninduced effects.

Both yields allow a measurement in one month of data taking (about 100\nmillion events) with a D? significance of 10. The reconstruction of the charged\nmesons is more difficult than for the neutral mesons due to kinematic\nconstraints on the soft pion in case of the D* decay. Most of these pions have\nmomenta lower than 0.4 GeV/c which makes them difficult to detect and therefore\nthe reconstruction efficiency is very low. However, by using the ALICE Inner\nTracking System as a standalone detector, the reconstruction efficiencies for\nkaons and pions at very low momenta are improved. Due to selection criteria\nimposed on the tracks the overall efficiency increase for the D* with the\nITS-standalone procedure is reported to be 7%. Note that after applying the\ncuts on the D mesons, the contamination with D0 from beauty decays becomes\nslightly larger (10%).

This analysis is based on data from proton--proton collisions at\na centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of\n139 fb$^{-1}$, collected with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Selected events\ncontain exactly one isolated electron or muon, large missing transverse\nmomentum and exactly two jets, one being $b$-tagged. Stringent selection\nrequirements are applied to discriminate $t$-channel single-top-quark events\nfrom the background contributions. The top-quark and top-antiquark polarisation\nvectors are measured from the distributions of the direction cosines of the\ncharged-lepton momentum in the top-quark rest frame. The three components of\nthe polarisation vector for the selected top-quark event sample are $P_{x'}\n=0.01\\pm0.18$, $P_{y'} = -0.029\\pm0.027$, $P_{z'} =0.91\\pm0.10$ and for the\ntop-antiquark event sample they are $P_{x'} = -0.02\\pm0.20$, $P_{y'} =\n-0.007\\pm0.051$, $P_{z'} = -0.79\\pm 0.16$. Normalised differential\ncross-sections corrected to a fiducial region at the stable-particle level are\npresented as a function of the charged-lepton angles for top-quark and\ntop-antiquark events inclusively and separately.

The CMS tracking performs a\nseries of iterations, targeting reconstruction of tracks of increasing\ndifficulty after removing hits associated to tracks found in previous\niterations. mkFit has been adopted for several of the tracking iterations,\nwhich contribute to the majority of reconstructed tracks. When tested in the\nstandard conditions for production jobs, speedups in track pattern recognition\nare on average of the order of 3.5x for the iterations where it is used (3-7x\ndepending on the iteration).\n  Multiple factors contribute to the observed speedups, including vectorization\nand a lightweight geometry description, as well as improved memory management\nand single precision. Efficient vectorization is achieved with both the icc and\nthe gcc (default in CMSSW) compilers and relies on a dedicated library for\nsmall matrix operations, Matriplex, which has recently been released in a\npublic repository. While the mkFit geometry description already featured levels\nof abstraction from the actual Phase-1 CMS tracker, several components of the\nimplementations were still tied to that specific geometry.

Two studies have been conducted: in the\nfirst, we corroborrate previous per-event particle yields in Upsilon(1S)->ggg\nvs. e+e- -> qqbar. In the second, we compare particle production in the\nphoton-tagged process U(1S)->gggamma with that in e+e- -> qqbargamma events.\nFor each particle, we determine the `enhancement' ratio, defined as the ratio\nof particle yields per gluon fragmentation event compared to quark\nfragmentation event. Thus defined, an enhancement of 1.0 implies equal\nper-event production in both gluon and quark fragmentation. In the\nphoton-tagged analysis, we find an enhancement of order unity for protons and\napproximately 1.5 for lambda's. This measured proton enhancement rate is\nsupported by a study of baryon production in chib(J=2)->proton+X relative to\nchib(J=1)->proton+X. The production of mesons having masses of order 1 GeV (phi\nand f2(1270)) are found to be also approximately the same in gggamma vs.\nqqbargamma fragmentation. Overall, per-event baryon production in two-gluon\nfragmentation is considerably smaller than that observed in three-gluon decays\nof the Upsilon(1S). Our results for baryon production are inconsistent with the\npredictions of the JETSET (7.4) fragmentation model.",

This contribution demonstrates the superior accuracy of the present\ndataset with respect to existing measurements.

Furthermore, proton density fluctuations are investigated as a possible\norder parameter of the second order phase transition in the neighbourhood of\nthe critical point (CP) of strongly interacting matter. An intermittency\nanalysis is performed of the proton second scaled factorial moments in\ntransverse momentum space. A previous analysis of this sort revealed\nsignificant power-law fluctuations for the \"Si\"+Si system at 158A GeV measured\nby the NA49 experiment. The fitted power-law exponent was consistent within\nerrors with the theoretically expected critical value, a result suggesting a\nbaryochemical potential in the vicinity of the CP of about 250 MeV. The\nanalysis will now be extended to NA61/SHINE systems of similar size, Be+Be and\nAr+Sc, at 150A GeV. Finally, spectator-induced electromagnetic (EM) effects on\ncharged meson production are being studied and bring information on the\nspace-time position of the pion formation zone, which appears to be much closer\nto the spectator system for faster pions than for slower ones.

The aim of this thesis is to estimate the\ntime of measurement for which the current branching ratio limit of eta -> 4pi0\ndecay can be improved. In order to estimate the time of measurement Monte Carlo\nsimulations were performed. Kinematics of the pp -> ppeta -> pp4pi0 -> pp8gamma\nreactions were simulated using PLUTO program. Next, by means of the GEANT3\nprogram the response of the WASA-at-COSY detector was simulated for each\nparticle. Received signals were analysed in RootSorter software package based\non ROOT. Studies of the reaction with many gamma quanta in the exit channel\nrequired the investigation of WASA-at-COSY calorimeter functioning. Tests of a\ncluster building algorithm with emphasis on merging and splitting of detected\nsignals were done. The obtained result shows that only about 3% of eta -> 4p0\ndecays can be properly reconstructed. The identification of the eta -> 4pi0 ->\n8gamma decay was based on the invariant mass method for both pi0 and eta\nmesons.

The LBN\nalso enables the formation of further composite particles, which are then\ntransformed into said rest frames by Lorentz transformation. The properties of\nthe composite, transformed particles are compiled in the form of characteristic\nvariables that serve as input for a subsequent network. This second network has\nto be configured for a specific analysis task such as the separation of signal\nand background events. Using the example of the classification of ttH and ttbb\nevents, we compare the separation power of the LBN approach with that of\ndomain-unspecific deep neural networks (DNN). We observe leading performance\nwith the LBN, even though we provide the DNNs with extensive additional input\ninformation beyond the particle four momenta.

In this paper the\ncurvature biases present at the LHCb detector are studied using the pseudomass\nmethod in proton-proton collision data recorded at centre of mass energy\n$\\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV during 2016, 2017 and 2018. The biases are determined using\n$Z\\to\\mu^+\\mu^-$ decays in intervals defined by the data-taking period, magnet\npolarity and muon direction. Correcting for these biases, which are typically\nat the $10^{-4}$ GeV$^{-1}$ level, improves the $Z\\to\\mu^+\\mu^-$ mass\nresolution by roughly 20% and eliminates several pathological trends in the\nkinematic-dependence of the mean dimuon invariant mass.",

Rejection of\nsuch background is often possible using traditional cut-based selections, but\nthis typically requires the prior use of computationally expensive\nreconstruction algorithms. This work demonstrates an alternative approach of\nusing a 3D Submanifold Sparse Convolutional Network trained on low-level\ninformation from the scintillation light signal of interactions inside\nLAr-TPCs. This technique is applied to example simulations from ICARUS, the far\ndetector of the Short Baseline Neutrino (SBN) program at Fermilab. The results\nof the network, show that cosmic background is reduced by up to 76.3% whilst\nneutrino interaction selection efficiency remains over 98.9%. We further\npresent a way to mitigate potential biases from imperfect input simulations by\napplying Domain Adversarial Neural Networks (DANNs), for which modified\nsimulated samples are introduced to imitate real data and a small portion of\nthem are used for adverserial training. A series of mock-data studies are\nperformed and demonstrate the effectiveness of using DANNs to mitigate biases,\nshowing neutrino interaction selection efficiency performances significantly\nbetter than that achieved without the adversarial training.",

The longitudinal spin measurements have\ncontributed significantly to our understanding of the quark and gluon helicity\ndistributions inside the proton. The longitudinal double-spin asymmetry,\n$A_{LL}$, from STAR inclusive jet and dijet measurements provides the first\nevidence of a positive gluon polarization with partonic momentum fraction $x >\n0.05$. The reconstruction of $W^{\\pm}/Z$ in longitudinally polarized\nproton-proton collisions indicates that there is a flavor separation of the\nlight sea quark helicity distributions. In transversely polarized proton\ncollisions, $W^{\\pm}/Z$-bosons provide the first constraint on the sea-quark\nSivers function and contributes to the tests of the predicted sign change. The\ntilt of the dijet opening angle provides a direct access to the first Mellin\nmomentum of the Sivers function and avoids the spin-correlated fragmentation\ncontributions. The novel measurements of the azimuthal distributions of\nidentified hadrons in jets and spin-dependent dihadron correlations directly\nprobe the collinear quark transversity in the proton, with the former coupled\nto the transverse momentum dependent (TMD) Collins fragmentation function and\nthe latter to the dihadron interference fragmentation function.

The high flux of quasi-real\nphotons from the 27.5 GeV electron beam has allowed high-statistics studies of\nvector-meson photoproduction to be compared to the deeply inelastic processes\nat high photon virtuality Q^2 >> \\Lambda^2_QCD. Special-purpose electron\ndetectors at small scattering angle have been used to identify a transition\nregion, 0.2 < Q^2 < 2 GeV^2, where the pQCD prediction for the dominance of\npoint-like configurations of qqbar-pairs is verified. Data samples\ncharacterized by high momentum transfer to the 820 GeV initial-state proton, 1\n< |t| < 13 GeV^2, have now become available, and the results lend support to\nthe proposition that pQCD calculations should accurately describe the inelastic\nvector-meson production processes in high-|t| photoproduction. Measurements of\nthe energy dependence and the t-dependence of the elastic cross sections for\nrho, omega, phi, and J/psi production have provided tests of the proposal that\nthe mass (or size) of the vector meson provides a third scaling variable for\nstudying the transition to the domain of pQCD applicability.

A sample of\nlow-energy electrons produced by the decay of cosmic muons is selected with a\npurity of 95%. This sample is used to calibrate the low-energy electron energy\nscale with two techniques. An electron energy calibration based on a cosmic ray\nmuon sample uses calibration constants derived from measured and simulated\ncosmic ray muon events. Another calibration technique makes use of the\ntheoretically well-understood Michel electron energy spectrum to convert\nreconstructed charge to electron energy. In addition, the effects of detector\nresponse to low-energy electron energy scale and its resolution including\nreadout electronics threshold effects are quantified. Finally, the relation\nbetween the theoretical and reconstructed low-energy electron energy spectrum\nis derived and the energy resolution is characterized. The low-energy electron\nselection presented here accounts for about 75% of the total electron deposited\nenergy. After the addition of lost energy using a Monte Carlo simulation, the\nenergy resolution improves from about 40% to 25% at 50~MeV.

The final focus magnets of the interaction\nregions (IR) of circular colliders often have some specialized properties that\nmake it difficult to perform conventional beam based alignment procedures. At\nthe HERA interaction points, for example, these properties are: (a) The\nquadrupoles are quite strong and long. Therefore a thin lens approximation is\nquite imprecise.

The perturbed photon stream is first projected through\na birefringent crystal where SPDC occurs, converting a single high-energy\nphoton into a pair of low energy photons.

By examining the biphoton correlation using the\nprobability distribution of the photons at the detectors, which varies\ndepending on the displacement of the main pump photon stream and the change in\nthe number of photons, the small optical displacement of the photon stream and\nits variance can be determined.

Nevertheless, the change in optical\ndisplacement measurement variance when the number of incident photons has\nchanged detects the light signal.

Since its inception, neutrino detection has been\ninexorably linked to the challenging detection of scarce photons in huge\ninstrumented volumes. Many discoveries in neutrino physics, including the\nneutrino itself, are inseparable from the evolution of the detector photonics\ninterfaces, i.e. photo-sensors and readout electronics, to yield ever higher\nprecision and richer detection information. The measurement of the energy of\nneutrinos, referred to as calorimetry, is pursued today to reach permille level\nsystematics control precision, thus leading to further innovation in\nspecialised photonics. This publication describes a novel articulation that\ndetectors may be endowed with multiple photonics interfaces for simultaneous\nlight detection to yield unprecedented high-precision calorimetry. This\nmulti-calorimetry approach opens the novel notion of dual-calorimetry detectors\nas an evolution from the single-calorimetry setups used over several decades\nfor most experiments so far. The dual-calorimetry design exploits unique\nresponse synergies between photon counting and photon-integration detection\nsystems, including correlations and cancellations between calorimetric\nresponses, to yield the unprecedented mitigation of the dominant response\nsystematic effects today for the possible improved design of a new generation\nof neutrino experiments."

Based on the correlation between L_nu and\nL_mu (Figures~16 to 18 in Part1) and the correlation between E_nu and E_mu\n(Figure19 in Part1), we have made four possible L/E analyses, namely L_nu/E_nu,\nL_nu/E_mu, L_mu/E_mu and L_mu/E_nu.

A widely favoured BSM\ncandidate is Supersymmetry (SUSY), which postulates a superpartner for each\nStandard Model particle.

The discovery potential for SUSY for\nthe case where strongly interacting supersymmetric particles are very massive\nis critically investigated. A possible choice of triggers for L = 10-31cm-2s-1\nis suggested by optimising the event yield at intermediate and final selection\nstages.

The LHC uses\npp collisions to probe the highest energy reactions involving quarks and gluons\nhappening at the smallest distance scales ever studied in a terrestrial\nlaboratory. The quantum properties of the initiating partons are encoded in the\ndistribution of energy inside and around jets. These quantum properties of jets\n(QPJ) can be used to study the high energy nature of the strong force and\nprovide a way to tag the hadronic decays of heavy boosted particles. The ATLAS\ndetector is well-suited to perform measurements of the structure of high energy\njets. A variety of novel techniques utilizing the unique capabilities of the\nATLAS calorimeter and tracking detectors are introduced in order to probe the\nexperimental and theoretical limits of the QPJ.\n  Quarks and gluons may also be the key to understanding fundamental problems\nwith the SM. In particular, the top quark has a unique relationship with the\nnewly discovered Higgs boson and as such could be a portal to discovering new\nparticles. In many extensions of the SM, the top quark has a partner with\nsimilar properties.

Here, we propose new experiments to\nsearch for the exotic spin-spin interactions that can be mediated by axions or\nZ$^\\prime$ bosons. A sensitive functionalized cantilever is utilized as a force\nsensor to measure the interactions between the spin-polarized electrons in a\nperiodic magnetic source structure and a closed-loop magnetic structure\nintegrated on the cantilever. The source is set to oscillate during data\nacquisition to modulate the exotic force signal to high harmonics of the\noscillating frequency. This helps to suppress the spurious signals at the\nsignal frequency. Different magnetic source structures are designed for\ndifferent interaction detections. A magnetic stripe structure is designed for\nZ$^\\prime$-mediated interaction, which is insensitive to the detection of\naxion-mediated interaction. This allows us to measure the coupling constant of\nboth if we assume both exist. With the force sensitivity achievable at low\ntemperature, the proposed experiments are expected to search for the parameter\nspaces with much smaller coupling constant than the current stringent\nconstraints from micrometer to millimeter range. Specifically, the lower bound\nof the parameter space will be seven orders of magnitude lower than the\nstringent constraints for Z$^\\prime$-mediated interaction, and an order of\nmagnitude lower for axion-mediated interaction, at the interaction range of\n$10\\, \\mu$m.",

The centrality dependence of\nthe jet yield is characterized by the jet \"central-to-peripheral ratio,\" Rcp.\nJet production is found to be suppressed by approximately a factor of two in\nthe 10% most central collisions relative to peripheral collisions. Rcp varies\nsmoothly with centrality as characterized by the number of participating\nnucleons. The observed suppression is only weakly dependent on jet radius and\ntransverse momentum. These results provide the first direct measurement of\ninclusive jet suppression in heavy ion collisions and complement previous\nmeasurements of dijet transverse energy imbalance at the LHC."

However, displaced signatures are notoriously difficult to identify due\nto their ability to evade standard object reconstruction strategies. In\nparticular, the default ATLAS track reconstruction applies strict pointing\nrequirements which limit sensitivity to charged particles originating far from\nthe primary interaction point. To recover efficiency for LLPs decaying within\nthe tracking detector volume, the ATLAS Collaboration employs a dedicated\nlarge-radius tracking (LRT) pass with loosened pointing requirements. During\nRun 2 of the LHC, the LRT implementation produced many incorrectly\nreconstructed tracks and was therefore only deployed in small subsets of\nevents. In preparation for LHC Run 3, ATLAS has significantly improved both\nstandard and large-radius track reconstruction performance, allowing for LRT to\nrun in all events.

The identification of such jets is challenging due to the lack\nof track and vertex information in the pseudorapidity range $|\\eta|>2.5$. This\npaper presents a novel strategy for forward pile-up jet tagging that exploits\njet shapes and topological jet correlations in pile-up interactions.\nMeasurements of the per-jet tagging efficiency are presented using a data set\nof 3.2 $fb^{-1}$ of proton--proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13\nTeV collected with the ATLAS detector. The fraction of pile-up jets rejected in\nthe range $2.5<|\\eta|<4.5$ is estimated in simulated events with an average of\n22 interactions per bunch-crossing. It increases with jet transverse momentum\nand, for jets with transverse momentum between 20 and 50 GeV, it ranges between\n49% and 67% with an efficiency of 85% for selecting hard-scatter jets. A case\nstudy is performed in Higgs boson production via the vector-boson fusion\nprocess, showing that these techniques mitigate the background growth due to\nadditional proton--proton interactions, thus enhancing the reach for such\nsignatures.",

In this work, we describe a new coalescence afterburner for event\ngenerators based on the Wigner function formalism and we apply it to the\n(anti)deuteron case, taking into account a realistic particle emitting source.\nThe model performance is validated using the EPOS and PYTHIA event generators\napplied to proton-proton collisions at the centre-of-mass energy $\\sqrt{s}=$ 13\nTeV, triggered for high multiplicity events, and the experimental data measured\nby ALICE in the same collision system.

The measurement was based on the assumption that the pulse shape of the\nneutrinos from the decay of parent mesons produced in proton-target collisions\nis the same as that of the incident protons. Here we argue that the effective\ncolumn density of the target along the beam direction decreases with time\nduring the 10.5 microseconds duration of the proton pulse. This is because of\nthe thermal expansion and expulsion of target material along the beam by the\nenergy-momentum deposition during the 10.5 microseconds pulse. The progresive\nreduction in the effective column density during the pulse decreases the\nneutrino production rate per incident proton. It could have advanced the mean\nproduction time of the detected neutrinos relative to that calculated from the\nproton pulse-shape, by an amount comparable to the measured neutrino lead time\n(60.7+/-6.9(stat) +/-7.4(sys) ns.

Moreover, the significant computational\ncost of these programs becomes a bottleneck in most physics analyses.\nTherefore, it is extremely important to find a way to reduce the MC samples\ngenerated to decrease the MC statistical uncertainties and lower the\ncomputational cost. In these proceedings, we evaluate an approach called Deep\nneural network using Classification for Tuning and Reweighting (DCTR). DCTR is\na method based on a Deep Neural Network (DNN) to reweight simulations to\ndifferent models or model parameters and fit simulations, using the full\nkinematic information in the event.

It is assumed that the initial state\nradiation is taken into account in a visible cross section, while in a Born\ncross section this effect is ommited. Since the equation that connects Born and\nvisible cross sections is an integral equation of the first kind, the problem\nof finding its numerical solution is ill-posed. Various regularization-based\napproaches are often used to solve ill-posed problems, since direct methods\nusually do not lead to an acceptable result. However, in this article it is\nshown that a direct method can be successfully used to numerically solve the\nconsidered equation under the condition of a small beam energy spread and\nuncertainty. This naive method is based on finding a numerical solution to the\nintegral equation by reducing it to a system of linear equations. The naive\nmethod works well because the kernel of the integral operator is a rapidly\ndecreasing function of the variable $x$. This property of the kernel leads to\nthe fact that the condition number of the matrix of the system of linear\nequations is of the order of unity, which makes it possible to neglect the\nill-posedness of the problem when the above condition is satisfied.

For this reason, experimental sensitivity to the\nmass hierarchy depends both on the true value of the CP phase and the true mass\nhierarchy; LBNE10 will determine the mass hierarchy at high levels of\nsignificance for half of CP phase space. We propose placing a second detector\nat an off-axis location. Such a detector will share the same beamline as the\nprimary LBNE detector. The detector location is chosen such that this detector\nfocuses on a measurement of electron (anti-)neutrino appearance at the second\noscillation maximum. We will show that this configuration will enhance the\nability of LBNE to determine the mass hierarchy and to discover CP violation in\nthe leptonic sector.",

In heavy-ion collisions, the hydrodynamic expansion of the\nQuark-Gluon Plasma is one of the possible explanations of the origin of the\nridge signal. Measurements in the $e^+e^-$ collision system, without the\ncomplexities introduced by hadron structure in the initial state, can serve as\na complementary probe to examine the formation of a ridge signal. The first\nmeasurement of two-particle angular correlation functions in high multiplicity\n$e^+e^-$ collisions at $\\sqrt{s}=10.52$ GeV is reported. The hadronic $e^+e^-$\nannihilation data collected by the Belle detector at KEKB are used in this\nstudy. Two-particle angular correlation functions are measured over the full\nazimuth and large pseudorapidity intervals which are defined by either the\nelectron beam axis or the event thrust as a function of charged particle\nmultiplicity. The measurement in the event thrust analysis, with mostly\noutgoing quark pairs determining the reference axis, is sensitive to the region\nof additional soft gluon emissions. No significant ridge signal is observed\nwith either coordinates analyses. Near side jet correlations appear to be\nabsent in the thrust axis analysis.

The ratio of\ncumulant factorial to factorial moments of the charged-particle multiplicity\ndistribution shows a quasi-oscillatory behaviour similar to that predicted by\nthe NNLLA of perturbative QCD. However, an analysis of the sub-jet multiplicity\ndistribution at perturbative scales shows that these oscillations cannot be\nrelated to the NNLLA prediction. We investigate how it is possible to reproduce\nthe oscillations within the framework of Monte-Carlo models. Furthermore, local\nmultiplicity fluctuations in angular phase-space intervals are compared with\nMonte-Carlo models and with first-order QCD predictions.

The determination of the Higgs boson mass with a precision\nsignificantly better than the Higgs boson width (4.1 MeV in the Standard Model)\nis a prerequisite to either constrain or measure the electron Yukawa coupling\nvia direct ${\\rm e^+e^- \\to H}$ production at $\\sqrt{s} = 125$ GeV. Approaching\nthe statistical limit of 0.1% and $\\mathcal{O}(1)$ MeV on the ZH cross section\nand the Higgs boson mass, respectively, sets highly demanding requirements on\naccelerator operation (ZH threshold scan, centre-of-mass energy measurement),\ndetector design (lepton momentum resolution, hadronic final state\nreconstruction performance), theoretical calculations, and analysis techniques\n(efficiency and purity optimization with modern tools, constrained kinematic\nfits, control of systematic uncertainties).

The fluctuations and correlations are analysed in terms of the\nnormalized scaled factorial moments and cumulants up to the fifth order.

Furthermore, it is demonstrated\nthat, once the quark and antiquark structure functions are constrained from the\nW+,W- and Z0 production dynamics, other quark-antiquark related scattering\nprocesses at the LHC like q-qbar --> W+W- can be predicted accurately. Thus,\nthe lepton pseudorapidity distributions provide the key to a precise parton\nluminosity monitor at the LHC, with accuracies of about +-1% compared to the so\nfar considered goal of +-5%."

Results are presented in the form of\ninclusive and differential cross sections in the simplified template cross\nsection framework, as well as couplings of the Higgs boson to vector bosons and\nfermions. The data set collected by the CMS detector during 2016-2018 is used,\ncorresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$^{-1}$. The signal strength\nmodifier $\\mu$, defined as the ratio of the observed production rate in a given\ndecay channel to the standard model expectation, is measured to be $\\mu$ = 0.95\n$^{+0.10}_{-0.09}$.

The remaining 1% is\ninstead predicted to come from a separate loop-process, known as the \"CNO\ncycle\". This sub-dominant process is theoretically well understood, but has so\nfar escaped any direct observation. Another fundamental aspect is that the CNO\ncycle is indeed the main nuclear engine in stars more massive than the Sun. In\n2020, thanks to the unprecedented radio-purity and temperature control achieved\nby the Borexino detector over recent years, the first ever detection of\nneutrinos from the CNO cycle has been finally announced.

Therefore, they are expected to experience the full collision\nhistory propagating through and interacting with the QCD medium. The parton\nenergy loss, which is sensitive to the transport coefficients of the produced\nmedium, can be studied experimentally by measuring the nuclear modication\nfactor ($R_{\\rm AA}$) which accounts for the modication of the heavy-flavoured\nhadron yield in Pb-Pb collisions with respect to pp collisions. In semi-central\nPb-Pb collisions, the degree of thermalization of charm quarks in the QCD\nmedium can be accessed via the measurement of the heavy flavour elliptic flow\n$v_2$ at low $p_{\\rm T}$ . At high $p_{\\rm T}$, $v_2$ is sensitive to the\npath-length dependence of heavy quark in-medium energy loss. The ALICE\ncollaboration has measured the production of open heavy flavour hadrons via\ntheir hadronic and semi-leptonic decays at mid-rapidity and in the semi-muonic\ndecay channel at forward rapidity in pp, p-Pb and Pb-Pb collisions at 7, 5.02\nand 2.76 TeV respectively.

Any systematic difference between the training and a test dataset may\ndegrade the algorithm performance--what is known as the domain shift problem.\nThis issue is prevalent in many scientific domains where algorithms are trained\non simulated data but applied to real-world datasets. Typically, the domain\nshift problem is solved through various domain adaptation methods. However,\nthese methods are often tailored for a specific downstream task and may not\neasily generalize to different tasks. This work explores the feasibility of\nusing an alternative way to solve the domain shift problem that is not specific\nto any downstream algorithm. The proposed approach relies on modern Unpaired\nImage-to-Image translation techniques, designed to find translations between\ndifferent image domains in a fully unsupervised fashion. In this study, the\napproach is applied to a domain shift problem commonly encountered in Liquid\nArgon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) detector research when seeking a way to\ntranslate samples between two differently distributed detector datasets\ndeterministically. This translation allows for mapping real-world data into the\nsimulated data domain where the downstream algorithms can be run with much less\ndomain-shift-related degradation. Conversely, using the translation from the\nsimulated data in a real-world domain can increase the realism of the simulated\ndataset and reduce the magnitude of any systematic uncertainties. We adapted\nseveral UI2I translation algorithms to work on scientific data and demonstrated\nthe viability of these techniques for solving the domain shift problem with\nLArTPC detector data.

A key feature of the signals generated within the TPC is that they\nallow localization of particle interactions through a process called\nreconstruction. While multilayer perceptrons (MLPs) have emerged as a leading\ncontender for reconstruction in TPCs, such a black-box approach does not\nreflect prior knowledge of the underlying scientific processes. This paper\nlooks anew at neural network-based interaction localization and encodes prior\ndetector knowledge, in terms of both signal characteristics and detector\ngeometry, into the feature encoding and the output layers of a multilayer\nneural network. The resulting Domain-informed Neural Network (DiNN) limits the\nreceptive fields of the neurons in the initial feature encoding layers in order\nto account for the spatially localized nature of the signals produced within\nthe TPC.

In heavy ion\ncollisions, parton scatterings with a large momentum transfer ($1/Q \\ll 1$\nfm/$c$) occur prior to QGP formation and thus provide a source of coloured\nprobe particles for the QGP created in the later stage of the reaction. The\nhard scattered partons and the subsequent parton shower interact strongly with\nthe QGP and its constituents via elastic and radiative processes before\nhadronization into jets of observable particles. Thus, the comparison to jet\nand high-$p_T$ observables in pp (vacuum) potentially probes their modification\ndue to medium effects. One of the key observables in the discovery and\ninvestigation of these jet modifications has been the nuclear modification\nfactor $R_{AA}$, for which new results on charged particle production in\ndifferent colliding systems are presented and the question of apparant\nsuppression in peripheral Pb-Pb collisions is addressed.

The prediction of EU is that the deep dip\nobserved in pi-pi elastic scattering close to 1 GeV should also appear in\nproduction data. Four sets of data disagree with this prediction. All require\ndifferent relative magnitudes of sigma and fo(980). That being so, a fresh\nconjecture is to rewrite the 2-body unitarity relation for production in terms\nof observed magnitudes.

The air-shower sizes, proxies of the primary energies, are then\nestimated by fitting the observed signals to a functional form for expectations\nso as to interpolate the signal at a reference distance. The functional form\ndescribes the rapid falloff of the expected signal with the distance from the\nshower core, using typically two logarithmic slopes to account for the\nshort-range and long-range decreases of signals. The uncertainties associated\nto the air-shower sizes are determined under the assumption of a quadratic\ndependence of the log-likelihood on the fitted parameters around the minimum,\nso that a meaningful variance-covariance matrix is provided. In this paper, we\nshow that for an event topology where one signal is much larger than the\nothers, the quadratic dependence of the fitted function around the minimum is a\npoor approximation that leads to an inaccurate estimate of the uncertainties.\nTo restore a quadratic shape, we propose to use the polar coordinates around\nthe detector recording the largest signal, projected onto the plane of the\nshower front, to define the likelihood function in terms of logarithmic polar\ndistances, polar angles and logarithmic shower sizes as free parameters. We\nshow that a meaningful variance-covariance matrix is then recovered in the new\ncoordinate system, as the dependence of the fitted function on the modified\nparameters is properly approximated by a quadratic function. The use of the\nuncertainties in the new coordinate system for subsequent high-level analyses\nis illustrated.",

The sensitivity of dark\nmatter direct detection will be improved by nearly two orders of magnitude\ncompared to the current best limits, approaching the so-called \"neutrino floor\"\nfor a dark matter mass above 10 GeV/$c^2$, providing a decisive test to the\nWeakly Interacting Massive Particle paradigm. By searching for the neutrinoless\ndouble beta decay of $^{136}$Xe isotope in the detector, the effective Majorana\nneutrino mass can be measured to a [10 -- 41] meV/$c^2$ sensitivity, providing\na key test to the Dirac/Majorana nature of neutrino s. Astrophysical neutrinos\nand other ultra-rare interactions can also be measured and searched for with an\nunprecedented background level, opening up new windows of discovery. Depending\non the findings, PandaX-xT will seek the next stage upgrade utilizing isotopic\nseparation on natural xenon."

Since it is chiral-odd, it can only be\naccessed through channels that couple to other chiral-odd distributions, like\nthe Collins fragmentation functions (so-called Collins effect) or the\ninterference fragmentation functions.

While the relatively low reactor power would\nin this case require a larger detector, the source could be conveniently\nlocated at essentially any distance from a detector built at an underground\nlocation near a shore in a region of the world far away from other nuclear\ninstallations. The variable baseline would allow for a precise measurement of\nbackgrounds and greatly reduced systematics from reactor flux and detector\nefficiency. In addition, once the oscillation measurement is completed, the\ndetector could perform geological neutrino and astrophysical measurements with\nminimal reactor background."

While current-generation neutrino oscillation\nexperiments are able to produce moderate indications on this ordering, upcoming\nexperiments of the next generation aim to provide conclusive evidence. In this\npaper we study the combined performance of the two future multi-purpose\nneutrino oscillation experiments JUNO and the IceCube Upgrade, which employ two\nvery distinct and complementary routes towards the neutrino mass ordering. The\napproach pursued by the $20\\,\\mathrm{kt}$ medium-baseline reactor neutrino\nexperiment JUNO consists of a careful investigation of the energy spectrum of\noscillated $\\bar{\\nu}_e$ produced by ten nuclear reactor cores. The IceCube\nUpgrade, on the other hand, which consists of seven additional densely\ninstrumented strings deployed in the center of IceCube DeepCore, will observe\nlarge numbers of atmospheric neutrinos that have undergone oscillations\naffected by Earth matter. In a joint fit with both approaches, tension occurs\nbetween their preferred mass-squared differences $ \\Delta\nm_{31}^{2}=m_{3}^{2}-m_{1}^{2} $ within the wrong mass ordering.

In this paper, we review the measurements of the three main production\nmechanisms ($t$-channel, $s$-channel, and $tW$ production), and of the\nassociated production with a photon, a $Z$ boson, or a Higgs boson.\nDifferential cross-sections are measured for several of these processes and\ncompared with theoretical predictions.

        "positive": "Novel deep learning methods for track reconstruction: For the past year, the HEP.TrkX project has been investigating machine\nlearning solutions to LHC particle track reconstruction problems. A variety of\nmodels were studied that drew inspiration from computer vision applications and\noperated on an image-like representation of tracking detector data. While these\napproaches have shown some promise, image-based methods face challenges in\nscaling up to realistic HL-LHC data due to high dimensionality and sparsity. In\ncontrast, models that can operate on the spacepoint representation of track\nmeasurements (\"hits\") can exploit the structure of the data to solve tasks\nefficiently. In this paper we will show two sets of new deep learning models\nfor reconstructing tracks using space-point data arranged as sequences or\nconnected graphs. In the first set of models, Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs)\nare used to extrapolate, build, and evaluate track candidates akin to Kalman\nFilter algorithms. Such models can express their own uncertainty when trained\nwith an appropriate likelihood loss function. The second set of models use\nGraph Neural Networks (GNNs) for the tasks of hit classification and segment\nclassification. These models read a graph of connected hits and compute\nfeatures on the nodes and edges. They adaptively learn which hit connections\nare important and which are spurious. The models are scaleable with simple\narchitecture and relatively few parameters. Results for all models will be\npresented on ACTS generic detector simulated data."

This\nproceeding presents searches for physics beyond the Standard Model enabled by\nphoton-photon processes in both di-tau and diphoton final states. The tau-pair\nproduction measurements can constrain the tau lepton's anomalous magnetic\ndipole moment (g-2), and a recent ATLAS measurement using muonic decays of tau\nleptons in association with electrons and tracks provides one of the most\nstringent limits available to date. Similarly, light-by-light scattering\nproceeds via loop diagrams, which can contain particles not yet directly\nobserved.

The main physics justification for such\na device is detection of accelerator generated neutrinos, nucleon decay, and\nnatural sources of neutrinos such as solar, atmospheric and supernova\nneutrinos. In addition to the physics justification there are practical issues\nregarding the existing infrastructure at Homestake, and the stress\ncharacteristics of the Homestake rock formations.\n  The depth requirements associated with the various physics processes are\nreported for water Cherenkov and liquid argon detector technologies. While some\nof these physics processes can be adequately studied at shallower depths, none\nof them require a depth greater than 4300 mwe which corresponds to the 4850 ft\nlevel at Homestake. It is very important to note that the scale of the planned\ndetector is such that even for accelerator neutrino detection (which allows one\nto use the accelerator duty factor to eliminate cosmics) a minimum depth is\nneeded to reduce risk of contamination from cosmic rays.

A simultaneous analysis of the difference of K+-\nmultiplicities should be done in general.

The top\nquark is the most massive of the known elementary particles. At hadron-hadron\ncolliders, top quarks are mostly produced in pairs through strong interactions.\nThe measurement of the cross section for top quark pair production is a test of\nour understanding of QCD prediction at next-to-leading order (NLO). This\nmeasurement requires a deep understanding of the backgrounds to top quark\nproduction, thus setting the ground for the measurements of top quark intrinsic\nproperties. Finally, measuring sigma(ttbar) allows to set limits on new physics\nmodels that predict new particles coupling to the most recently discovered\nquark. The top quark discovery needed only few tens of p-1 . The Tevatron\nintegrated luminosity is now about 9 fb-1 , more than two orders of magnitude\nlarger. In this document I will present some of the latest measurements of\ntotal and differential cross sections for top quark pair production performed\nby the CDF and D0 collaborations, that analyze up to about 6 fb-1 to provide a\nrefined understanding of this extremely interesting particle. The\nidentification of hadronic jets with sub- structure is thought to be a crucial\ntool towards the search for new phenomena at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)\nproton-proton collisions at >= 7 TeV using the CMS and ATLAS detectors.

A\nthree-flavour neutrino oscillation scenario, where the third neutrino mass\nstate $\\nu_3$ decays into an invisible state, e.g. a sterile neutrino, is\nconsidered. We find that KM3NeT/ORCA would be sensitive to invisible neutrino\ndecays with $1/\\alpha_3=\\tau_3/m_3 < 180$~$\\mathrm{ps/eV}$ at $90\\%$ confidence\nlevel, assuming true normal ordering. Finally, the impact of neutrino decay on\nthe precision of KM3NeT/ORCA measurements for $\\theta_{23}$, $\\Delta m^2_{31}$\nand mass ordering have been studied. No significant effect of neutrino decay on\nthe sensitivity to these measurements has been found."

Dedicated and\nincreasingly accurate experiments and improving lattice calculations are\nconfirming this belief, and we are entering a new era in which we can test\nconfinement scale QCD in some well chosen reactions. This is demonstrated with\nan overview of low energy experimental tests of ChPT predictions of $\\pi\\pi$\nscattering, pion properties, $\\pi$N scattering and electromagnetic pion\nproduction. These predictions have been shown to be consistent with QCD in the\nmeson sector by increasingly accurate lattice calculations. At present there is\ngood agreement between experiment and ChPT calculations, including the $\\pi\\pi$\nand $\\pi$N s wave scattering lengths and the $\\pi^{0}$ lifetime. Recent,\naccurate pionic atom data are in agreement with chiral calculations once\nisospin breaking effects due to the mass difference of the up and down quarks\nare taken into account, as was required to extract the $\\pi\\pi$ scattering\nlengths. In addition to tests of the theory, comparisons between $\\pi\\pi$ and\n$\\pi$N interactions based on general chiral principles are discussed. Lattice\ncalculations are now providing results for the fundamental, long and\ninconclusively studied, $\\pi$N $\\sigma$ term and the contribution of the\nstrange quark to the mass of the proton. Increasingly accurate experiments in\nelectromagnetic pion production experiments from the proton which test ChPT\ncalculations (and their energy region of validity) are presented.

Motivation for the\npresent measurement arises from the recalibration of the D0 flavor-dependent\njet energy corrections. The recalibration was driven by the observation that\nthe corrections for D0 Run IIb differ notably from those of Run IIa. The\nrecalibration analysis was able to show that the Run IIb corrections should\nhave resembled more those of Run IIa. The recalibrated jet energy corrections\nhave an influence on the reconstructed top quarks through the jets that are\nproduced in top quark decays. Hence, a change in the flavor-dependent jet\nenergy corrections implies the need to revise the top mass measurement,\nperformed by D0 in the lepton+jets channel. The D0 top mass average is almost\ncompletely determined by this measurement, and hence it has a direct impact on\nthe top mass world average.

The\ninstantaneous luminosity at AFTER using typical targets surpasses that of RHIC\nby more than 3 orders of magnitude. Beam extraction by a bent crystal offers an\nideal way to obtain a clean and very collimated high-energy beam, without\ndecreasing the performance of the LHC. The fixed-target mode also has the\nadvantage of allowing for spin measurements with a polarised target and for an\naccess over the full backward rapidity domain up to xF ~ - 1. Here, we\nelaborate on the reachable luminosities, the target polarisation and a\nselection of measurements with hydrogen and deuterium targets."

The violation of C\nsymmetry in eta->pi+pi-pi0 process could manifest itself as an asymmetry\nbetween energy spectra of charged pions. The eta->pi0 e+e- decay is forbidden\nby C symmetry in the first order of electromagnetic interaction, with the\nbranching ratio on a level of 10^-8. Therefore, observation of a larger\nbranching ratio could indicate a mechanism involving first order\nelectromagnetic interaction violating charge conjugation.\n  Both decays were investigated by means of the WASA-at-COSY detector operating\nat the COSY synchrotron at the Forchungszentrum Julich in Germany.

Sakharov proposed that an explanation would\nrequire the violation of CP symmetry between matter and antimatter. The only CP\nviolation observed so far is in the weak interactions of quarks, and it is too\nsmall to explain the matter-antimatter imbalance of the universe. It has been\nshown that CP violation in the lepton sector could generate the\nmatter-antimatter disparity through the process called leptogenesis. The\nquantum mixing of neutrinos, the neutral leptons in the Standard Model,\nprovides a potential source of CP violation through a complex phase dCP, which\nmay have consequences for theoretical models of leptogenesis. This CP violation\ncan be measured in muon neutrino to electron neutrino oscillations and the\ncorresponding antineutrino oscillations, which are experimentally accessible\nwith accelerator-produced beams as established by the T2K experiment. Until\nnow, the value of dCP has not been significantly constrained by neutrino\noscillation experiments. Here the T2K collaboration reports a measurement that\nfavors large enhancement of the neutrino oscillation probability, excluding\nvalues of dCP which result in a large enhancement of the observed anti-neutrino\noscillation probability at three standard deviations (3 sigma). The 3 sigma\nconfidence level interval for dCP, which is cyclic and repeats every 2pi, is\n[-3.41,-0.03] for the so-called normal mass ordering, and [-2.54,-0.32] for the\ninverted mass ordering. Our results show an indication of CP violation in the\nlepton sector. Herein we establish methods for sensitive searches for\nmatter-antimatter asymmetry in neutrino oscillations using accelerator-produced\nneutrino beams.

The CUORE experiment is\ndesigned with a sensitivity capable of probing the range indicated by\noscillation experiments. It consists of an array of 988, 750 g, TeO2 bolometers\noperating at 8 to 10 mK and arranged in a cylindrical geometry of 19 towers\nhanging on the bottom of the mixing chamber of a dilution refrigerator.

We also use the latest parton\ndistribution functions and $gg \\rightarrow H$ theoretical cross sections when\nmodelling the signal event yields. Using integrated luminosities of up to 8.2\n$\\invfb$, we observe a good agreement between data and the background\nprediction.

These searches target compressed phase spaces, where the\nmass difference between the next-to-lightest and lightest supersymmetric\nparticle is relatively small. The searches use proton-proton collision data\ncollected at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the\nLHC. In the chargino search, the targeted mass difference between charginos and\nneutralinos is close to the mass of the W boson. In such phase space, the\nchargino pair production is kinematically similar to the WW background, making\nthe chargino signal experimentally challenging to be discriminated from the WW\nbackground. Machine learning techniques are adopted to separate the\nsupersymmetric signal from the backgrounds. The results exclude chargino masses\nup to about 140 GeV for mass splittings down to about 100 GeV, superseding the\nprevious results in particularly interesting regions where the chargino pair\nproduction could have hidden behind the looking-alike WW background. In the\ndisplaced track search, the mass difference between the produced sparticles and\nthe lightest neutralinos goes down to 0.3 GeV. The experimental signature has a\nlow momentum charged track with an origin displaced from the collision point.\nThe results show that the analysis has the sensitivity to exclude different\nhypotheses for higgsino masses up to 175 GeV if no excess is observed in data.\nFor lower masses, the larger signal cross-section allows to achieve higher\nsignificance for different mass splitting scenarios.

With the high\nsolubility of LiCl of 74.5 g/100 g water at 10$^\\circ$C and the high natural\nabundance of 92.41%, the molarity of $\\rm{{}^{7}Li}$ in water can reach 11\nmol/L for safe operation at room temperature. The CC event rate of $\\nu_e$ on\n$\\rm{{}^{7}Li}$ in the LiCl water solution is comparable to that of\nneutrino-electron elastic scattering. In addition, the $\\nu_e$ CC interaction\nwith the contained $\\rm{{}^{37}Cl}$ also contributes a few percent of the total\nCC event rate. The contained $\\rm{{}^{35}Cl}$ and $\\rm{{}^{6}Li}$ also make a\ndelay-coincidence detection for electron antineutrinos possible. The\nrecrystallization method is found to be applicable for LiCl sample\npurification.
