Flavoured jet algorithms: a comparative study
The accurate identification of heavy-flavour jets, those which originate from bottom or charm quarks, is crucial for precision studies of the Standard Model and searches for new physics. However, assigning flavour to jets presents significant challenges, primarily due to issues with infrared and collinear (IRC) safety. This paper aims to address these challenges by evaluating recently-proposed jet algorithms designed to be IRC-safe and applicable in high-precision measurements. We compare these…

I maintain a heterogeneous MSP environment for backup which consists of a collection of sh scripts (they mostly run on FreeBSD) with (c) notes dating back to 2004, with 5 authors, 4 of whom are no longer my cow-orkers. As the unfortunate 5th, I am still doing tweaks to catch edge & corner cases >20y after the 1st author had the idea that rsync, shell, mt, & standard POSIX tools could be assembled into a decent free backup world.

Observation of $D^+\to K^0_Sπ^0μ^+ν_μ$, Test of Lepton Flavor Universality and First Angular Analysis of $D^+\to \bar{K}^\ast(892)^0\ell^+ν_\ell$
We report a study of the semileptonic decays $D^+\to K_S^0π^0\ell^+ν_\ell$ ($\ell = e, μ$) based on $20.3\,\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ collision data collected at the center-of-mass energy of 3.773 GeV with the BESIII detector. The $D^+\to K_S^0π^0μ^+ν_μ$ decay is observed for the first time, with a branching fraction of $(0.896\pm0.017_{\rm stat}\pm0.008_{\rm syst})\%$, and the branching fraction of $D^+\to K_S^0π^0e^+ν_e$ is determined with the improved precision as $(0.943\pm0.0…

Differentially Private Explanations for Clusters
The dire need to protect sensitive data has led to various flavors of privacy definitions. Among these, Differential privacy (DP) is considered one of the most rigorous and secure notions of privacy, enabling data analysis while preserving the privacy of data contributors. One of the fundamental tasks of data analysis is clustering , which is meant to unravel hidden patterns within complex datasets. However, interpreting clustering results poses significant challenges, and often necessitates an…

ALICE highlights
The recent ALICE results on hard probes, focusing on open heavy flavor, quarkonia, and jet measurements in pp and Pb--Pb collisions are presented. During the LHC Run 3, the continuous readout of the upgraded Time Projection Chamber (TPC) with GEM technology, along with improved tracking from ITS2 and the newly installed Muon Forward Tracker (MFT), have enabled high-precision studies of quarkonia and heavy flavour production, and jet modification in the quark-gluon plasma (QGP). These new measur…

Entanglement Suppression, Quantum Statistics and Symmetries in Spin-3/2 Baryon Scatterings
We explore the interplay among entanglement suppression, quantum statistics and enhanced symmetries in the non-relativistic $S$-wave scattering involving the lowest-lying spin-3/2 baryons, which can be considered as four-dimensional qudits. These baryons form a ten-dimensional representation (decuplet) under the $\text{SU}(3)$ light-flavor symmetry and, in this limit, are considered indistinguishable under strong interactions. Treating the $S$-matrix in the spin-3/2 baryon-baryon scattering as …

Test of lepton flavour universality in $W$-boson decays into electrons and $τ$-leptons using $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV with the ATLAS detector
A measurement of the ratio of the branching fractions, $R_{τ/e} = B(W \to τν)/ B(W \to e ν)$, is performed using a sample of $W$ bosons originating from top-quark decays to final states containing $τ$-leptons or electrons. This measurement uses $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV, collected by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider during Run 2, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb$^{-1}$. The $W \to τν_τ$ (with $τ\to e ν_e ν_τ$) and $W \to e ν_e$ decays …

Modular domain walls and gravitational waves
We discuss modular domain walls and gravitational waves in a class of supersymmetric models where quark and lepton flavour symmetry emerges from modular symmetry. In such models a single modulus field $τ$ is often assumed to be stabilised at or near certain fixed point values such as $τ= {\rm i}$ and $τ= ω$ (the cube root of unity), in its fundamental domain. We show that, in the global supersymmetry limit of certain classes of potentials, the vacua at these fixed points may be degenerate, …
