We search for hadronic decays of a light Higgs boson (A(0)) produced in radiative decays of an Υ(2S) or Υ(3S) meson, Υ→γA(0). The data have been recorded by the BABAR experiment at the Υ(3S) and Υ(2S) center-of-mass energies and include (121.3±1.2)×10(6) Υ(3S) and (98.3±0.9)×10(6) Υ(2S) mesons. No significant signal is observed. We set 90% confidence level upper limits on the product branching fractions B(Υ(nS)→γA(0))B(A(0)→hadrons) (n=2 or 3) that range from 1×10(-6) for an A(0) mass of 0.3 GeV/c(2) to 8×10(-5) at 7 GeV/c(2).

Article Synopsis
- Proton therapy is an advanced cancer treatment that uses precise proton beams to destroy cancer cells while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues.
- The study investigates the effectiveness of the Geant4 Monte Carlo simulation software, which models the interaction between proton beams and the human body for better treatment planning.
- By reviewing published articles from 2002 to 2023, researchers found that Geant4 simulations are both reliable and accurate, making them useful for optimizing and assessing proton therapy systems based on real-world experimental data.
Search for violation in decays in proton-proton collisions at .

December 2024
Article Synopsis
- The CMS experiment conducted a search for charge-parity violation in decays using proton-proton collision data from 2018, analyzing around 10 billion events with b hadrons decaying into charm hadrons.
- The flavor of the neutral D meson was determined through the charge of pions in the reconstructed decays, and an asymmetry measurement in the decays was reported, taking into account various uncertainties.
- This research marks the first asymmetry measurement by the CMS in the charm sector and the first to use a fully hadronic final state in such analyses.
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on detecting multijet signatures from proton-proton collisions at a high energy of 13 TeV, analyzing a dataset totaling 128 fb^{-1}.
- A special data scouting method is utilized to pick out events with low combined momentum in jets.
- This research is pioneering in its investigation of electroweak particle production in R-parity violating supersymmetric models, particularly examining hadronically decaying mass-degenerate higgsinos, and it broadens the limits on the existence of R-parity violating top squarks and gluinos.

Article Synopsis
- * The study introduces enhanced modeling techniques for neutrino flux and detector response, and it distinguishes between starting (inside) and throughgoing (outside) neutrino interaction events to improve energy resolution.
- * The findings indicate a best-fit point for the 3+1 model with sin²(2θ_{24})=0.16 and Δm_{41}²=3.5 eV², supporting previous studies while showing consistency with no evidence of sterile neutrinos, as reflected
Phenomenology of photons-enriched semi-visible jets.
Eur Phys J C Part Fields
November 2024
ETH Zürich, Institute for Particle Physics and Astrophysics, 8093 Zurich, Switzerland.
Article Synopsis
- This letter proposes a new method for identifying confining dark sectors at the LHC through the detection of semi-visible jets resulting from collisions involving dark quarks from a hidden sector.
- It explains how these semi-visible jets can produce non-isolated photons and stable/unstable dark bound states, which may not align with current search strategies at the LHC.
- The authors suggest using a deep neural network to differentiate these exotic jets from background noise by analyzing their unique substructure, allowing for potential discoveries of heavy bosons with masses up to 5 TeV using data from the LHC's Run 2.
