The accurate simulation of additional interactions at the ATLAS experiment for the analysis of proton–proton collisions delivered by the Large Hadron Collider presents a significant challenge to the computing resources. During the LHC Run 2 (2015–2018), there were up to 70 inelastic interactions per bunch crossing, which need to be accounted for in...

The Large Hadron Collider beauty (LHCb) experiment at CERN is undergoing an upgrade in preparation for the Run 3 data collection period at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). As part of this upgrade, the trigger is moving to a full software implementation operating at the LHC bunch crossing rate. We present an evaluation of a CPU-based and a GPU-based...

We analyze in a model independent way the possibilities of digging out neutral exotic Higgs states, should they exist endowed with unconventional couplings with ordinary matter and gauge fields, at the 14 TeV run of the Large Hadron Collider, adding some comparative studies for 13.6 and 13 TeV runs. Flavor models, based on some discrete symmetry gr...

The massive use of artificial neural networks (ANNs), increasingly popular in many areas of scientific computing, rapidly increases the energy consumption of modern high-performance computing systems. An appealing and possibly more sustainable alternative is provided by novel neuromorphic paradigms, which directly implement ANNs in hardware. Howeve...

This paper discusses model-agnostic searches for new physics at the Large Hadron Collider using anomaly-detection techniques for the identification of event signatures that deviate from the Standard Model (SM). We investigate anomaly detection in the context of a machine-learning approach based on autoencoders. The analysis uses Monte Carlo simulat...

The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) is one of the general purpose detectors at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC), where the products of proton–proton collisions at the center of mass energy up to 13.6 TeV are reconstructed. The electromagnetic calorimeter (ECAL) is one of the crucial components of the CMS since it reconstructs the energies and posit...

In this work, we derive lower mass bounds on the Z′ gauge boson based on the dilepton data from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) with 13 TeV of center-of-mass energy, and forecast the sensitivity of the high-luminosity LHC with L=3000 fb−1, the high-energy LHC with s=27 TeV, and also at the Future Circular Collider with s=100 TeV. We take into accou...

The High Granularity Timing Detector (HGTD) will be installed in the ATLAS detector to mitigate pile-up effects during the High Luminosity (HL) upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. The design of the HGTD is based on the use of Low Gain Avalanche Detectors (LGADs), with an active thickness of 50 μm, that allow to measure with high-pre...

In high-energy collisions, a dense, strongly interacting medium could be created, the quark gluon plasma. In rapid expansion from the soup of quarks and gluons a gas of resonance and stable particles is formed at the chemical freeze-out and after that as the system cools down, the kinetic freeze-out takes place and interaction between particles cea...

We present the first next-to-leading-order (NLO) perturbative QCD (pQCD) study of rapidity-differential cross sections of coherent exclusive photoproduction of J/ψ mesons in heavy-ion ultraperipheral collisions (UPCs) at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC), dσ/dy(Pb+Pb→Pb+J/ψ+Pb).

The production of K*(892)0 and ϕ(1020) mesons in proton–proton (pp) and lead–lead (Pb–Pb) collisions at sNN = 5.02 TeV has been measured using the ALICE detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

There is a growing need for machine learning-based anomaly detection strategies to broaden the search for Beyond-the-Standard-Model (BSM) physics at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and elsewhere. The first step of any anomaly detection approach is to specify observables and then use them to decide on a set of anomalous events. One common choice is...

The violation of charge conjugation (C) and parity (P) symmetries are a requirement for the observed dominance of matter over antimatter in the Universe. As an established effect of beyond the Standard Model physics, this could point towards additional CP violation in the Higgs-gauge sector. The phenomenological footprint of the associated anomalou...

The global polarization of the $\Lambda$ and $\bar\Lambda$ hyperons ($P_{\rm H}$) has been measured in Pb--Pb collisions at $\sNN=$ 2.76 TeV and 5.02 TeV in ALICE at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The hyperon global polarization is found to be consistent with zero at both collision energies. The local polarization of the $\Lambda$ and $\bar\Lambd... Article Full-text available Precision measurements at the LHC and future colliders require theory predictions with uncertainties at the percent level for many observables. Theory uncertainties due to the perturbative truncation are particularly relevant and must be reduced to fully exploit the physics potential of collider experiments. In recent years the theoretical high ene... Preprint Full-text available The performance of the electromagnetic calorimeter of the ALICE experiment during operation in 2010-2018 at the Large Hadron Collider is presented.

As the system size of O+O collisions has the final state multiplicity overlap with those produced in pp, p+Pb and Pb+Pb collisions, the s... Article Full-text available This Letter proposes a new search for confining dark sectors at the Large Hadron Collider. As a result of the strong dynamics in the hidden sector, dark matter could manifest in proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider in form of hadronic jets containing stable invisible bound states. These semi-visible jets have been studied theoretic... Article Full-text available Searches are performed for nonresonant and resonant di-Higgs boson production in the bb¯γγ final state.

In... Preprint Full-text available Hadronic phase and its dynamics in relativistic heavy-ion collisions are topics of immense discussion. In this respect, resonances can play an important role in determining the characteristics of the hadronic phase as they have sufficiently small lifetimes, which may be comparable to the hadronic phase lifetime.

Article Full-text available Clustering is one of the most frequent problems in many domains, in particular, in particle physics where jet reconstruction is central in experimental analyses. Jet clustering at the CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is computationally expensive and the difficulty of this task will increase with the upcoming High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC). In this... Preprint Full-text available In view of the recent high precision measurement of the Standard Model$W$boson mass at the CDF II detector, we compute the contributions to the oblique parameters$S$,$T$and$U$coming from the two additional Higgs doublets (one inert and one hidden) as well as the hidden neutral dark gauge bosons and extra heavy fermions in the gauged two-Higg... Article Full-text available A bstract Non-Standard-Model parity violation may be occurring in LHC collisions. Any such violation would go unseen, however, as searches for it are not currently performed. One barrier to searches for parity violation is the lack of model-independent methods sensitive to all of its forms. We remove this barrier by demonstrating an effective and m... Article Full-text available The estimation of parameters from data is a common problem in many areas of the physical sciences, and frequently used algorithms rely on sets of simulated data which are fit to data.

The theory of the strong force, quantum chromodynamics, describes the proton in terms of quarks and gluons. The proton is a state of two up quarks and one down quark bound by gluons, but quantum theory predicts that in addition there is an infinite number of quark–antiquark pairs. Both light and heavy quarks, whose mass is respectively smaller or b...
