Search for top squarks in final states with many light-flavor jets and 0, 1, or 2 charged leptons in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV
Several new physics models including versions of supersymmetry (SUSY) characterized by $R$-parity violation (RPV) or with additional hidden sectors predict the production of events with top quarks, low missing transverse momentum, and many additional quarks or gluons. The results of a search for top squarks decaying to two top quarks and six additional light-flavor quarks or gluons are reported. The search employs a novel machine learning method for background estimation from control samples in…

Models for differential cross section in proton-proton scattering and their implications at ISR and LHC energies
Few composite exponential models for the differential cross section are proposed to analyse the proton-proton ($pp$) elastic scattering at several energies. These proposed models are fitted to the data for $pp$ elastic differential cross section reported at CERN-ISR, LHC, and extrapolated energies of other models. These models have produced important features including dip-bump structure and shrinkage of the forward peak. Position of the dip is also well produced by our models for all the data …

This study demonstrates a proof-of-concept application of a deep neural network for particle identification in simulated high transverse momentum proton-proton collisions, with a focus on evaluating model performance under controlled conditions. A model trained on simulated Large Hadron Collider (LHC) proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 13\,\mathrm{TeV}$ is used to classify nine particle species based on seven kinematic-level features. The model is then tested on simulated high transverse m…

Schrödinger equation with Pauli-Fierz Hamiltonian and double well potential as model of vibrationally enhanced tunneling for proton transfer in hydrogen bond
A solution of the two-dimensional Schrödinger equation with Pauli-Fierz Hamiltonian and trigonometric double-well potential is obtained within the framework of the first-order of adiabatic approximation. The case of vibrational strong coupling is considered which is pertinent for polariton chemistry and (presumably) for enzymatic hydrogen transfer. We exemplify the application of the solution by calculating the proton transfer rate constant in the hydrogen bond of the Zundel ion ${\rm{H_5O_2^{…

Proton Gravitational Structure and Mass Decomposition on the Light Front
Gravitational form factors (GFFs) of hadrons encode essential information about the internal distributions of mass, spin, pressure, and shear among their quark and gluon constituents. We compute the quark and gluon GFFs of the proton using a fully relativistic, nonperturbative framework based on a light-front quantized Hamiltonian with quantum chromodynamics (QCD) input. This allows us to quantify the impact of a dynamical gluon on the proton's mechanical properties, such as pressure and shear …

Proton and neutron decays into light new particles $X$ can drastically change the experimental signatures and benefit from the complementarity of large water-Cherenkov neutrino detectors such as Super/Hyper-Kamiokande and tracking detectors such as JUNO and DUNE. The proton decays $p\to \ell^+ X$ and $p\to π^+ X$ with $m_X$ near phase-space closure lead to charged particles below Cherenkov threshold, rendering them practically invisible in Super- and Hyper-Kamiokande but not in JUNO and DUNE, …

Diffusion Transformer-based Universal Dose Denoising for Pencil Beam Scanning Proton Therapy
Purpose: Intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) offers precise tumor coverage while sparing organs at risk (OARs) in head and neck (H&N) cancer. However, its sensitivity to anatomical changes requires frequent adaptation through online adaptive radiation therapy (oART), which depends on fast, accurate dose calculation via Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. Reducing particle count accelerates MC but degrades accuracy. To address this, denoising low-statistics MC dose maps is proposed to enable fas…

Investigating the most active pp collisions (top 0.1 %) using the tools developed by experiments at the LHC
The LHC data have unveiled unexpected features in proton-proton (pp) collisions, namely, collective-like behavior and strangeness enhancement. Originally, these new effects were discovered only in high-multiplicity pp collisions. However, recently the ALICE Collaboration has shown that even low-multiplicity pp collisions yield a non-zero elliptic flow ($v_{2}$). Moreover, analyses as functions of the event structure, such as transverse spherocity, suggest that multiplicity might not be the main…

We investigate the quasilinear effects of the resonant wave-particle interaction under conditions of imbalanced turbulent heating in the collisionless coronal hole. We find that velocity-space transport of protons from the heated part of the distribution leads to strong wave growth in the minority (sunward) direction. In the present quasilinear analysis, the "reflected" waves grow to unphysical levels, indicating the necessity of including nonlinear processes. This mechanism is likely to be imp…

The influence of nuclear short range correlations on sub-threshold particle production in proton-nucleus collisions
The apparent production of (multi-)strange baryons and mesons at sub-threshold energies in proton-heavy ion collisions is a consequence of short range correlations (SRC), which have recently been observed in lepton-nucleus scattering. They may enhance the available center of mass energy of individual nucleon-nucleon collisions and allow, therefore, for sub-threshold particle production in proton-nucleus collisions. Calculations demonstrate that SRC enhance the probability for particle productio…

Charge radii are sensitive indicators to identify the nuclear structure phenomena throughout the whole nuclide chart. In particular, the shrunken trend of changes of charge radii along a long isotopic chain is intimately associated with the shell quenching effect. In this work, the systematic evolution of charge radii along the proton numbers $Z=8$, $10$, $12$, $14$, $18$ isotopes is investigated by a relativistic Hartree Bogoliubov model. A ansatz about neutron-proton correlation around Fermi …

Experimental Study of Tensor Structure Function of Deuteron
The deuteron is the lightest spin-1 nucleus, consisting of a weakly bound system of two spin-1/2 nucleons. One intriguing characteristic of the deuteron is the tensor polarized structure, which cannot be naively constructed combining the proton and neutron structure. The tensor structure of the deuteron provides unique insights into the quarks and gluons distributions and their dynamics within the nucleus. It can be studied experimentally through inclusive and semi-inclusive Deep Inelastic Scat…

Comparing effective temperatures in standard and Tsallis distributions from transverse momentum spectra in small collision systems
The transverse momentum ($p_T$) spectra of identified light charged hadrons, specifically the bosons $π^{\pm}$ and $K^{\pm}$ as well as the fermions $p(\bar p)$, produced in small collision systems, namely deuteron-gold (d+Au) and proton-proton (p+p) collisions at the top energy of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) with a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=200$ GeV, are investigated in this paper. In present study, d+Au collisions are categorized into three centrality classes: ce…

Model-agnostic search for dijet resonances with anomalous jet substructure in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV
This paper presents a model-agnostic search for narrow resonances in the dijet final state in the mass range 1.8-6 TeV. The signal is assumed to produce jets with substructure atypical of jets initiated by light quarks or gluons, with minimal additional assumptions. Search regions are obtained by utilizing multivariate machine-learning methods to select jets with anomalous substructure. A collection of complementary anomaly detection methods - based on unsupervised, weakly supervised, and semis…

Quenching of single-particle strength inferred from nucleon-removal transfer reactions on $^{15}$C
The difference in the proton and neutron separation energies ($ΔS$) of the weakly bound $^{15}$C ground state is -19.86 MeV, an extreme value. Data from intermediate-energy heavy-ion induced (HI-induced) knockout reactions on nuclei spanning $-20\lesssimΔS\lesssim+20$ MeV, suggest that the degree to which single-particle strength is quenched, $R\mathrm{_{s}}$, has a negative correlation with $ΔS$, decreasing from unity around $-20$~MeV to around 0.2 at $+20$~MeV. For the $^{15}$C ground stat…

Electromagnetic emission from strongly interacting hadronic and partonic matter created in heavy-ion collisions
We investigate dilepton production in heavy-ion, proton-proton, and proton-nucleus collisions from low energies of 1 AGeV (SIS) to ultra-relativistic energies (LHC) using the Parton-Hadron-String Dynamics (PHSD) transport approach. PHSD is a microscopic, non-equilibrium approach that integrates hadronic and partonic degrees of freedom, providing a comprehensive description of relativistic heavy-ion collisions from initial nucleon-nucleon interactions to quark-gluon plasma (QGP) formation, hadro…

Spin 1 Transverse Momentum Dependent Tensor Structure Functions in CLAS12
We propose to analyze CLAS12 RG-C data to study the tensor transverse-momentum-dependent parton distribution functions (TMDs) on deuteron data. The deuteron is the lightest nucleus with spin-1, in essence a weakly bound system of two spin-1/2 nucleons. However, one of the most intriguing characteristics of the deuteron is that the tensor polarized structure provides direct access to the quark and gluon distribution of light nuclear system, which cannot be naively constructed from the proton and…

Search for Higgs boson decay to a charm quark-antiquark pair via $t\bar{tH}$ production
In these proceedings, a search for the standard model Higgs boson decaying to a charm quark-antiquark pair, $H\to c\bar{c}$, produced in association with a top quark-antiquark pair ($t\bar{tH}$) is presented. The search is performed using proton-proton collision data collected by the CMS experiment at $s=13$ TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$^{-1}$. The Higgs boson decay to a bottom quark-antiquark pair is measured simultaneously and the observed $t\bar{tH(H\to bb)}$ even…

Event Topology Classifiers at the Large Hadron Collider
Event classifiers are the most fundamental observables to probe the system size and event topology of high-energy collisions. Significant progress has been made to establish suitable event classifiers to probe different physics processes occurring in elementary $e^{+}e^{-}$ to heavy-ion collisions in a range of center of mass energies. One of the major motivations to revisit event classifiers at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) originates from the recent measurements of high multiplicity proton-…

First study of neutrino angle reconstruction using quasielastic-like interactions in MicroBooNE
We investigate the expected precision of the reconstructed neutrino direction using a νμ-argon quasielastic-like event topology with one muon and one proton in the final state and the reconstruction capabilities of the MicroBooNE liquid argon time projection chamber. This direction is of importance in the context of DUNE sub-GeV atmospheric oscillation studies. MicroBooNE allows for a data-driven quantification of this resolution by investigating the deviation of the reconstructed muon-proton…

How does the limited resolution of space plasma analyzers affect the accuracy of space plasma measurements?
We investigate the systematic errors in measured plasma velocity distribution functions and their corresponding velocity moments, arising from the limited energy and angular resolution of top-hat electrostatic analyzers. For this purpose, we develop a forward model of a concept analyzer that simulates observations of typical solar wind proton plasma particles with their velocities following a Maxwell distribution function. We then review the standard conversion of the observations to physical p…

Deformed magic numbers at $N=$178 and $Z=$120, 124 in the 112 $\leq N \leq $ 190 superheavy region from Skyrme mean-field calculations
Background: Various motivations for exploration of superheavy region revolve around the question on whether 126 is a spherical proton magic number, as is the case for neutrons. In exploring this region, identification of nuclei with relatively longer half-life as compared to its neighbours is crucial for experimental studies. Such information is provided from theoretical predictions, which are however, heavily dependent on the theoretical model used and observable quantities under investigation…

A Strong-QCD Regime Measurement of the Proton's Spin Structure
The theory of the strong force, Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) remains one of the most important ways to understand the fundamental properties of ordinary matter. However, at low momentum transfer Q2, in the regime where the strong force becomes extremely strong, our understanding of QCD for ordinary nucleons becomes hazy. Several cutting edge theories such as Chiral Perturbation Theory and Lattice QCD have provided valuable predictions in this regime, but Lattice QCD has not yet extended predict…

High-precision Penning trap mass measurements of neutron-rich chlorine isotopes at the N=28 shell closure
Although it is known that the $N=28$ spherical shell closure erodes, the strength of the closure with decreasing proton number $Z<20$ is an open question in nuclear structure. In this region of interest, direct high-precision mass measurements of neutron-rich $^{43-45}$Cl isotopes were performed at the Low Energy Beam and Ion Trap (LEBIT) when coupled to the National Superconducting Cyclotron Lab. The resulting mass excesses (MEs) are ME($^{43}$Cl) = -24114.4(1.7) keV, ME($^{44}$Cl) = -20450.8(…

Isotopic Transparency in Central Xe+Sn Collisions at 100 MeV/nucleon
A new method, based on comparing isotopic yield ratios measured at forward and sideward polar angles and on cross-bombarding heavy nuclei with different neutron-to-proton ratios, is used to quantify the stopping power of nuclear matter in heavy-ion collisions. For central collisions of isotopically separated $^{124,129}$Xe+$^{112,124}$Sn at 100~MeV/nucleon bombarding energy, measured with the 4$π$ multidetector INDRA at GSI, a moderate transparency is deduced for hydrogen isotopes, whereas for…

Proof of principle for a light dark matter search with low-energy positron beams at NA64
Thermal light dark matter (LDM) with particle masses in the 1 MeV - 1 GeV range could successfully explain the observed dark matter abundance as a relic from the primordial Universe. In this picture, a new feeble interaction acts as a "portal" between the Standard Model and LDM particles, allowing for the exploration of this paradigm at accelerator experiments. In the last years, the "missing energy" experiment NA64e at CERN SPS (Super Proton Synchrotron) has set world-leading constraints in th…
