Do aliens do physics? / Whiteson, Daniel (CERN ; UC, Irvine (main))
Shaped by a different biology or culture, aliens – if they're out there – might understand the universe in a totally different way to us, says particle physicist Daniel Whiteson

Electroweak Precision Physics at the FCC-ee / Toffolin, Leonardo (U. Trieste (main) ; INFN, Trieste ; CERN) /FCC Collaboration
The Future Circular Collider in its electron-positron stage (FCC-ee) will operate as a high-luminosity, multi-purpose collider at the intensity frontier. Its unique combination of centre-of-mass energy reach, absolute beam energy calibration via resonant depolarisation, and huge integrated luminosities will allow for electroweak precision measurements with unprecedented accuracy.

Energy and coincidence-time resolution of the LaBr3:Ce-MPPC™ detectors under magnetic fields / Yap, Ian Chang Jie (U. Duisburg-Essen) ; Heiniger-Schell, Juliana (U. Duisburg-Essen ; CERN) ; Dang, Thien Thanh (U. Duisburg-Essen) ; De Lima, Nicole Pereira (IPEN, Sao Paulo) ; Dörschel, Björn (U.

U.) ; Miranda Filho, Arnaldo Alves (IPEN, Sao Paulo) ; Gerami, Adeleh Mokhles (IPM, Tehran) et al.
Time-differential perturbed angular correlation (TDPAC) spectroscopy is a nuclear solid-state technique that requires high energy and coincidence-time resolutions from scintillation crystals and photodetectors. Traditionally, photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) have been coupled to LaBr3:Ce crystals; however, they have been replaced by Multi Pixel Photon Counters (MPPCs) for TDPAC experiments conducted under external magnetic fields.

Higgs precision at FCC-hh / Mastrapasqua, Paola (Louvain U., CP3) /FCC Collaboration
The proposed hadron collider phase of the Future Circular Collider, FCC-hh, will record 30~$ab^{-1 }$ of proton-proton collisions at a center of mass energy of 85 TeV, providing an unprecedented dataset that extends both the energy and precision frontiers and enables high-statistics studies of rare processes, particularly within the Higgs sector.With billions of single-Higgs events, the FCC-hh will measure rare decays such as $H \to \mu^+\mu^-$, $H \to \gamma\gamma$, and $H \to Z\gamma$ with percent-level precision and probe the top Yukawa interaction with unmatched accuracy through $t\bar{t}H$ production. The collection of tens of millions of Higgs-pair events will allow a few-percent-level determination of the Higgs self-coupling, a key parameter for understanding electroweak symmetry breaking and vacuum stability.

Light a candle for impregnation of superconducting magnets with wax: Thermo-mechanical behavior of an alumina-filled paraffin wax from ambient to cryogenic temperatures / Kong, Xiang (ETH, Zurich (main)) ; Van den Eijnden, Joep L (PSI, Villigen ; ETH, Zurich (main)) ; Brem, André (PSI, Villigen) ; Araujo, Douglas (PSI, Villigen) ; Auchmann, Bernhard (PSI, Villigen ; CERN) ; Tervoort, Theo A (ETH, Zurich (main))
A paraffin-wax-based system filled with sub-micrometer alumina particles is developed for use as impregnation of superconducting magnets operating at cryogenic temperatures. The addition of alumina fillers significantly enhances the thermal and cryo-mechanical performance of the wax matrix. [...]

First-principle evaluation of inclusive hadronic $τ$ decays in QCD+QED / Di Carlo, Matteo (CERN) ; Bacchio, Simone (Cyprus Inst.) ; Bäske, Erik (Humboldt U., Berlin (main)) ; De Santis, Alessandro (Helmholtz Inst., Mainz ; Darmstadt, GSI) ; Evangelista, Antonio (Cyprus U.) ; Frezzotti, Roberto (INFN, Rome2 ; Rome U., Tor Vergata) ; Gagliardi, Giuseppe (INFN, Rome3) ; Holan, Lukas (Humboldt U., Berlin (main)) ; Lubicz, Vittorio (INFN, Rome3 ; Rome III U.) ; Maio, Lorenzo (INFN, Rome2 ; U. Rome 2, Tor Vergata (main)) et al.
We present a strategy to extend lattice calculations of inclusive hadronic $τ$ decays from isosymmetric QCD to QCD+QED. The inclusive decay rate can be related to suitable Euclidean correlation functions, allowing for a first-principles evaluation of electromagnetic and isospin-breaking effects. [...]

An improved Level-1 MET trigger algorithm using Jet Energy Resolution for CMS Phase-II / Oh, Junwon (Seoul U.) /CMS Collaboration
The High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) will result in a large number of simultaneous proton-proton interactions (pileup), posing significant challenges for real-time event selection. As part of the CMS Phase-2 upgrade, the Level-1 (L1) Trigger system is being redesigned to exploit detailed detector information and advanced algorithms for improved performance. [...]

Heavy flavor spectroscopy studies at LHCb / Zhu, Linxuan (UCAS, Beijing) /LHCb Collaboration
The LHCb experiment, with its exceptional vertex resolution, momentum measurement, and particle identification capabilities, has pioneered groundbreaking studies in heavy-flavour spectroscopy during Run 1 and Run 2 data-taking period. This report highlights discoveries of exotic charm-strange states and charmonia, leveraging amplitude analyses of $B\to D\bar{D}X$ and $B^+\to\psi(2S)K^{+}\pi^{+}\pi^{-}$ decays. [...]

Minimum bias and underlying event measurements at the LHC with the ATLAS Detector / Adamczyk, Leszek (AGH-UST, Cracow) /ATLAS Collaboration
Properties of the underlying-event (UE) are investigated primarily via the strange hadrons $K^0_S$, $\Lambda$ and $\bar{\Lambda}$, as reconstructed using the ATLAS detector at the LHC in inelasticproton-proton interaction selected with an minimum bias trigger (MB). MB data allow study of the general characteristics of proton-proton interactions. [...]

Coupling local and global rf feedback loops for macroparticle tracking simulations / Karlsen-Baeck, B E (Rome U. ; CERN) ; Argyropoulos, T (CERN) ; Flowerdew, J (CERN) ; Intelisano, L (CERN) ; Karpov, I (CERN) ; Lasheen, A (CERN) ; Timko, H (CERN)
Radio frequency (rf) control loops are vital components for the optimal operation of rf systems in synchrotron particle accelerators. Modeling these systems in macroparticle tracking simulations provides improved understanding of the complex interaction between the control loops, the beam-induced voltages in the rf cavities, and the circulating beam.
