A number of candidate theories beyond the standard model (SM) predict new scalar bosons below the TeV region. Among these, the radion, which is predicted in the Randall-Sundrum model, and the dilaton, which is predicted by the walking technicolor theory, have very similar couplings to those of the SM Higgs boson, and it is very difficult to differentiate these three spin-0 particles in the expected signals of the Higgs boson at the LHC and Tevatron. We demonstrate that the observation of the ratio σ(γγ)/σ(WW) gives a simple and decisive way to differentiate these, independent of the values of model parameters, the vacuum expectation values of the radion, and dilaton fields.

A search for light long-lived particles decaying to displaced jets is presented, using a data sample of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13.6 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 34.7 fb$^{-1}$, collected with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC in 2022.

Understanding how symmetry-breaking processes generate order out of disorder is among the most fundamental problems of nature. The scalar Higgs mode - a massive (quasi-) particle - is a key ingredient in these processes and emerges with the spontaneous breaking of a continuous symmetry. Its related exotic and elusive axial counterpart, a Boson with vector character, can be stabilized through the simultaneous breaking of multiple continuous symmetries.

Background: Anterior column realignment (ACR), using a lateral lumbar or thoracic interbody fusion (LLIF) approach to release the anterior longitudinal ligament (ALL), is a powerful technique to increase segmental lordosis. We here report our experience with the use of expandible LLIF cages for ACR.
Methods: Retrospective, single-center observational cohort study including consecutive patients treated by LLIF using an expandible interbody implant.
Impact of Next-to-Leading-Order Weak Standard-Model-Effective-Field-Theory Corrections in e^{+}e^{-}→ZH.

We present results from a complete next-to-leading order (NLO) calculation of e^{+}e^{-}→ZH in the standard model effective field theory (SMEFT) framework, including all contributions from dimension-six operators. At NLO, there are novel dependencies on CP violating parameters in the gauge sector, on modifications to the Higgs boson self-couplings, on alterations to the top quark Yukawa couplings, and on four-fermion operators involving the electron and the top quark, among others. We show that including only the logarithms resulting from renormalization group scaling can produce misleading results, and further, we explicitly demonstrate the constraining power of combining measurements from different energy scales.

Article Synopsis
- This study examines the financial effects on healthcare payers of using 60-day peripheral nerve stimulation (60-Day PNS) compared to a conventional brief trial (PNS-BT) for chronic pain patients.
- Analysis of Medicare data revealed that patients starting with 60-Day PNS had lower costs and fewer complications when progressing to permanent implants compared to those starting with PNS-BT.
- Overall, the 60-Day PNS approach is more cost-effective, resulting in lower costs per successful treatment outcome for chronic pain management.
