Search for boosted low-mass resonances decaying into hadrons produced in association with a photon in pp collisions at $ \sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector
Many extensions of the Standard Model, including those with dark matter particles, propose new mediator particles that decay into hadrons. This paper presents a search for such low mass narrow resonances decaying into hadrons using 140 fb −1 of proton-proton collision data recorded with the ATLAS detector at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The resonances are searched for in the invariant mass spectrum of large-radius jets with two-pronged substructure that are recoiling against an energetic photon from initial state radiation, which is used as a trigger to circumvent limitations on the maximum data recording rate. This technique enables the search for boosted hadronically decaying resonances in the mass range 20–100 GeV hitherto unprobed by the ATLAS Collaboration. The observed data are found to agree with Standard Model predictions and 95% confidence level upper limits are set on the coupling of a hypothetical new spin-1 Z′ resonance with Standard Model quarks as a function of the assumed Z′-boson mass in the range between 20 and 200 GeV.

Future Pion Structure Studies with JLab 22 GeV and EIC
One of the most puzzling aspects of the Standard Model is that the overwhelming majority of the mass of hadronic systems arises from massless and nearly massless objects. How this occurs is poorly understood, and remains a major open question of the standard model. From the little that we do understand, we know that mass generation is intricately connected to the internal structure of hadronic systems. Emergent Hadronic Mass is an elemental feature of the Standard Model. It is the origin of a running gluon mass, the source of Dynamical Chiral Symmetry Breaking, and very probably crucial to any explanation of confinement. Somewhat counter intuitively, it is one of the lightest hadronic objects, the charged pion, that may be able to fill in the missing piece of the puzzle. Advancing our understanding of the internal structure of the charged pion is crucial if we are to begin to untangle how this structure emerges from the dynamical nature of the interactions that govern it.

Field-theoretic analysis of hadronization using soft drop jet mass
One of the greatest challenges in quantum chromodynamics is understanding the hadronization mechanism, which is also crucial for carrying out precision physics with jet substructure. In this paper, we bring together recent advancements in our understanding of nonperturbative structure of the soft drop jet mass based on field theory, with precise perturbative calculations at next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy of its multidifferential variants. This allows for a model-independent analysis of power corrections associated with hadronization in a systematic manner. We test and calibrate hadronization models and their interplay with parton showers by comparing our universality predictions with various event generators for quark and gluon initiated jets in both lepton-lepton and hadron-hadron collisions. Our findings reveal that hadronization models perform better for quark jets relative to gluon jets. Our results provide a valuable toolbox for precision studies with the soft drop jet mass and pave the way for future analyses using real-world collider data. The stringent constraints derived in our framework are useful for improving the modeling of hadronization and its interplay with parton showers in next-generation event generators.

Quark mass difference effects in hadronic Fermi matrix elements from first principles
It was recently estimated that the strong isospin-symmetry breaking (ISB) corrections to the Fermi matrix element in free neutron decay could be of the order 10 –4 , one order of magnitude larger than the naïve estimate based on the Behrends-Sirlin-Ademollo-Gatto theorem. To investigate this claim, we derive a general expression of the leading ISB correction to hadronic Fermi matrix elements, which takes the form of a four-point correlation function in lattice gauge theory and is straightforward to compute from first principles. Our formalism paves the way for the first determination of such correction in the neutron sector with fully-controlled theory uncertainties.

Observation of Cabibbo-Suppressed Two-Body Hadronic Decays and Precision Mass Measurement of the Ω c 0 Baryon
The first observation of the singly Cabibbo-suppressed Ω c 0 → Ω − K + and Ω c 0 → Ξ − π + decays is reported, using proton-proton collision data at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.4 fb − 1 , collected with the LHCb detector between 2016 and 2018. The branching fraction ratios are measured to be B ( Ω c 0 → Ω − K + ) B ( Ω c 0 → Ω − π + ) = [ 6.08 ± 0.51 ( stat ) ± 0.40 ( syst ) ] % , B ( Ω c 0 → Ξ − π + ) B ( Ω c 0 → Ω − π + ) = [ 15.81 ± 0.87 ( stat ) ± 0.44 ( syst ) ± 0.16 ( ext ) ] % . In addition, using the Ω c 0 → Ω − π + decay channel, the Ω c 0 baryon mass is measured to be M ( Ω c 0 ) = 2695.28 ± 0.07 ( stat ) ± 0.27 ( syst ) ± 0.30 ( ext ) MeV , improving the precision of the previous world average by a factor of 4. © 2024 CERN, for the LHCb Collaboration 2024 CERN

New PHENIX Results on Mid-Rapidity Bottom and Charm Production in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$= 200 GeV
Energy loss of quarks in the hot and dense medium has been studied for decades. Both the experimental and theoretical efforts have hinted that the energy loss is quark mass dependent. Although experiments at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have found that the electrons from heavy quarks are less or similarly suppressed compared to the light hadrons, the mass ordering of the suppression between charm and bottom quarks is not yet clear due to large experimental uncertainties. We have fully exploited the events recorded at mid-rapidity in Au+Au collisions at center-of-mass energy of 200 GeV by the PHENIX experiment at RHIC to study the invariant yield of electrons from open heavy flavors. Latest results on the nuclear modification factors for charm and bottom separated heavy flavor electrons are reviewed in this proceeding. The implications of these results on the understanding of the quark mass and medium size dependence of the energy loss are also discussed.

Search for high-mass $Wγ$ and $Zγ$ resonances using hadronic $W/Z$ boson decays from 139 fb –1 of $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector
A search for high-mass charged and neutral bosons decaying to $Wγ$ and $Zγ$ final states is presented in this paper. The analysis uses a data sample of $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV proton-proton collisions with an integrated luminosity of 139 fb –1 collected by the ATLAS detector during LHC Run 2 operation. The sensitivity of the search is determined using models of the production and decay of spin-1 charged bosons and spin-0/2 neutral bosons. The range of resonance masses explored extends from 1.0 TeV to 6.8 TeV. At these high resonance masses, it is beneficial to target the hadronic decays of the $W$ and $Z$ bosons because of their large branching fractions. The decay products of the high-momentum $W/Z$ bosons are strongly collimated and boosted-boson tagging techniques are employed to improve the sensitivity. No evidence of a signal above the Standard Model backgrounds is observed, and upper limits on the production cross-sections of these bosons times their branching fractions to $Wγ$ and $Zγ$ are derived for various boson production models.

First nucleon gluon PDF from large momentum effective theory
We report the first nucleon gluon parton distribution function (PDF) using Large-Momentum Effective Theory (LaMET). We focus on the gluon operator which was demonstrated to have the best signal-to-noise in the previous attempt [1] in computing gluon PDFs using LaMET. We compute the corresponding Wilson coefficients needed for the hybrid-renormalized matrix elements and the matching kernel to convert the quasi-PDF to the lightcone one at the one-loop level. We demonstrate that with the proper Wilson coefficients in place, the counterterms for the renormalization are independent of the hadron and mass within statistical error. Using the resulting renormalization, we then compute the nucleon PDF using a HISQ ensemble generated by the MILC collaboration with N f = 2 + 1 +1, a ≈ 0.12 fm, with valence pion masses of 310 and 690 MeV and two gauge link smearing techniques. Despite the physics effects of the heavier than physical pion masses and gauge link smearing, this calculation provides excellent proof of principle and compares reasonably with selected global fit results.

Determination of Pion and Kaon Structure Using the Sullivan Process at Moderate to large Fractional Momentum
Significant progress has been made in describing the structure of hadrons in terms of Quantum ChromoDynamics (QCD) degrees of freedom. The recently developed framework of Generalized Parton Distribtions (GPDs) may provide the path towards three-dimensional imaging of the hadronic structure. Integrating the GPDs over the fractional momentum (x), the form factors are obtained which are integrally related to understanding the emergent hadron mass-generating mechanism (EHM) embedded in QCD and the mass-scale that characterizes the proton [Roberts (2016)]. The Sullivan process, in which one scatters electrons off the proton?s virtual meson cloud and thus creates a meson target, is used to probe this structure. Studies of kaon electroproduction offer unique opportunities in this. The last two decades saw a dramatic improvement in the precision of charged meson form factor data, and new results have become available on the transition form factor. The KaonLT experiment (E12-09-011) carried out in Hall C at Jefferson Lab (Jlab) was designed to measure longitudinal/transverse (L/T) separated kaon cross sections required to access form factors and GPDs [Bosted et al. (2008)]. KaonLT aimed to confirm the exclusive kaon electroproduction mechanism, which is essential for determining the kaon form factor and investigating GPDs. The results obtained from this experiment have provided the highest Q2 for L-T separated kaon electroproduction cross section, and it is the first time that a separated kaon cross-section measurement has been carried out above W = 2:2GeV.

Cross Section Evaluation for Exclusive Channels of K+Λ and K+Σ0 Electroproduction off Protons Using CLAS Detector Data
In this work, a method for evaluating the cross sections of electroproduction of K+Λ0 and K+Σ0 off protons in the region of invariant masses of final hadrons MK + MY <W < 2.65 GeV (MK and MY being the masses of the kaon and hyperon, respectively) and squares of four-momentum transfers of virtual photons, i.e., photon virtualities 0 < Q2 < 5 GeV2, is developed based on experimental data of these exclusive channels’ cross sections measured by the CLAS detector in Hall B at Jefferson Lab. A set of algorithms has been implemented to evaluate the differential cross sections of these channels, along with their statistical and systematic uncertainties. A program was developed for the evaluation of differential cross sections and structure functions using C++ and Python libraries. An interactive website was created for working with the program, enabling the analysis of one-dimensional and two-dimensional dependences of structure functions and differential cross sections. The evaluation of differential cross sections for the K+Λ and K+Σ0 electroproduction channels is necessary for extracting the structure function σLT from the data on the polarization asymmetry of electroproduction reactions of these final states with longitudinally polarized electrons. The obtained results are also important for the development of realistic Monte Carlo event generators in planning future experiments and for evaluating the efficiency of detecting final particles when extracting reaction cross sections from experimental data.

A search for the decays of stopped long-lived particles at $ \sqrt{\mathrm{s}} $ = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector
A search for long-lived particles, which have come to rest within the ATLAS detector, is presented. The subsequent decays of these particles can produce high-momentum jets, resulting in large out-of-time energy deposits in the ATLAS calorimeters. These de- cays are detected using data collected during periods in the LHC bunch structure when collisions are absent. The analysed dataset is composed of events from proton-proton collisions produced by the Large Hadron Collider at a centre-of-mass energy of s = 13 TeV and recorded by the ATLAS experiment during 2017 and 2018. The dataset used for this search corresponds to a total live time of 579 hours. The results of this search are used to derive lower limits on the mass of gluino R -hadrons, assuming a branching fraction $ \mathcal{B}\left(\overset{\sim }{g}\to q\overline{q}{\chi}_1^0\right) $ B g ~ → q q ¯ χ 1 0 = 100%, with masses of up to 1 . 4 TeV excluded for gluino lifetimes of 10 - 5 to 10 3 s.

Measurements of Normalized Differential Cross Sections of Inclusive η Production in e + e − Annihilation at Energy from 2.0000 to 3.6710 GeV
Using data samples collected with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII storage ring, the cross section of the inclusive process e + e − → η + X , normalized by the total cross section of e + e − → hadrons , is measured at eight center-of-mass energy points from 2.0000 to 3.6710 GeV. These are the first measurements with momentum dependence in this energy region. Our measurement shows a significant discrepancy compared to the existing fragmentation functions. To address this discrepancy, a new QCD analysis is performed at the next-to-next-to-leading order with hadron mass corrections and higher twist effects, which can explain both the established high-energy data and our measurements reasonably well.
