This Letter reports the observation of WZγ production and a measurement of its cross section using 140.1±1.2  fb^{-1} of proton-proton collision data recorded at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider.

A search for events with a dark photon produced in association with a dark Higgs boson via rare decays of the standard model Z boson is presented, using 139  fb^{-1} of sqrt[s]=13  TeV proton-proton collision data recorded by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The dark boson decays into a pair of dark photons, and at least two of the three dark photons must each decay into a pair of electrons or muons, resulting in at least two same-flavor opposite-charge lepton pairs in the final state. The data are found to be consistent with the background prediction, and upper limits are set on the dark photon's coupling to the dark Higgs boson times the kinetic mixing between the standard model photon and the dark photon, α_{D}ϵ^{2}, in the dark photon mass range of [5, 40] GeV except for the ϒ mass window [8.

This Letter reports the observation of single top quarks produced together with a photon, which directly probes the electroweak coupling of the top quark. The analysis uses 139  fb^{-1} of 13 TeV proton-proton collision data collected with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. Requiring a photon with transverse momentum larger than 20 GeV and within the detector acceptance, the fiducial cross section is measured to be 688±23(stat) _{-71}^{+75}(syst)  fb, to be compared with the standard model prediction of 515_{-42}^{+36}  fb at next-to-leading order in QCD.

Article Synopsis
  • The letter details a study by the ATLAS experiment measuring the nuclear modification factor (R_{AA}) of large-radius jets in high-energy Pb+Pb collisions at 5.02 TeV using data from both Pb+Pb and proton-proton (pp) collisions.
  • The large-radius jets were analyzed using a specific reconstruction algorithm and were measured across a set range of transverse momentum and pseudorapidity.
  • The findings indicate that jets with a more complex internal structure experience greater energy loss (quenching) compared to simpler jets, which provides insights into how jet structure influences jet suppression in nuclear matter.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates the "ridge" phenomenon in high-energy proton-proton (pp) collisions, focusing on the correlation between particles in the underlying event and scattering processes like jets.
  • - Using data from the ATLAS experiment at the LHC, researchers analyzed two-particle correlations in pp collisions at 13 TeV, looking at different configurations with and without charged particles related to jets.
  • - The findings indicate that excluding jet-associated particles does not change the correlations, and there is no significant relationship between jet particles and the underlying event, suggesting that hard scattering does not contribute to the observed ridge effect.
