Search for soft unclustered energy patterns containing muons in the final state in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector
Soft unclustered energy patterns (SUEPs) refer to high-multiplicity, isotropic distributions of low-momentum particles that could arise in strongly-coupled hidden sector theories. [...]

Search for the nonresonant production of a pair of additional Higgs bosons in the Type-X two-Higgs-doublet model in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV / CMS Collaboration
A search is presented for the production of two additional Higgs bosons from an off-shell Z boson, where both additional particles decay to $τ$ lepton pairs. [...]

Hot QCD matter probed via measurements of the speed of sound with CMS / Padula, Sandra (SAO_PAULO) /CMS Collaboration
A hot and dense quark-gluon medium is observed to be created in ultrarelativistic nuclear collisions, exhibiting striking collective flow behavior, with fluid-like properties well described by relativistic hydrodynamics, with minimal viscous dissipation. The characteristics of this medium are under intense investigation, and in particular, its thermodynamical properties. [...]

Reliability assessment of CMS Drift Tubes readout electronics for the HL-LHC upgrade / Toffano, Marco (INFN, Padua)
The new readout electronics of the CMS Drift Tubes detector has been evaluated in terms of its reliability. Starting with a brief overview of the main functionalities of the board, operating requirements and critical elements, an initial estimate of the hardware robustness with respect to expected faults over time is then presented. [...]

Measurements of the Higgs boson production, fiducial and differential cross-sections in the four lepton decay channel using 164 fb$^{-1}$ of data collected at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13.6 TeV with the ATLAS detector
Inclusive, differential and production-mode cross-section measurements of the Higgs boson are performed in the $H \to ZZ^{*} \to 4\ell$ decay channel. [...]

Walking Sudakov: From Cusp to Octagon / Alday, Luis F. (Oxford U., Inst. Math.) ; Armanini, Elisabetta (CERN ; EPFL, Lausanne, FSL) ; Belitsky, Andrei V. (Arizona State U.) ; Häring, Kelian (Delta ITP, Amsterdam) ; Zhiboedov, Alexander (CERN)
We study the Sudakov form factor and the four-point scattering amplitude on the Coulomb branch of planar $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM as functions of the Coulomb-branch parameters and kinematic invariants. [...]

Bordisms between 9d type IIB supergravities and commutator widths of duality groups / las Heras, Camilo (Valparaiso U.) ; Ruiz, Ignacio (CERN)
We study the topological properties of bordisms interpolating between different 9d gauged supergravities obtained from compactification of type IIB string theory on $\mathbb{S}^1$ with a non-trivial $\mathsf{SL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$ bundle. [...]
