Search for Soft Unclustered Energy Patterns in Proton-Proton Collisions at 13 TeV.

The first search for soft unclustered energy patterns (SUEPs) is performed using an integrated luminosity of 138  fb^{-1} of proton-proton collision data at sqrt[s]=13  TeV, collected in 2016-2018 by the CMS detector at the LHC. Such SUEPs are predicted by hidden valley models with a new, confining force with a large 't Hooft coupling. In events with boosted topologies, selected by high-threshold hadronic triggers, the multiplicity and sphericity of clustered tracks are used to reject the background from standard model quantum chromodynamics.

Neuroanatomical Correlates of Cognitive Tests in Young-onset MCI.

Background: Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is a heterogeneous condition characterised by cognitive changes that do not affect everyday functioning and may represent a predementia phase. Research on the neuroanatomical correlates of cognitive tests used to diagnose MCI is heterogeneous and has mainly focused on elderly populations of patients with MCI, usually well above the age of 65. However, the effect of ageing on brain structure is known to be substantial and to affect brain-behaviour associations in older people.
