Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is primarily transmitted via the fecal-oral route and is considered an anthropozoonosis. Genotypes with zoonotic potential (mainly HEV-3 and HEV-4) can be transmitted through the consumption of raw or undercooked pork, wild boar, deer meat, or processed products. This study aims to explore methodologies for processing meat samples to establish a protocol for HEV detection in meat.

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.
