Axions comprise a broad class of particles that can play a major role in explaining the
unknown aspects of cosmology. They are also well-motivated within high energy physics …

In the past decade many charmonium-like states were observed experimentally. Especially
those charged charmonium-like Z c states and bottomonium-like Z b states cannot be …

This Report summarizes the results of the activities of the LHC Higgs Cross Section Working
Group in the period 2014–2016. The main goal of the working group was to present the state …

This article documents the performance of the ATLAS muon identification and reconstruction
using the LHC dataset recorded at s= 13 s= 13 TeV in 2015. Using a large sample of J/ψ → …

We present new parton distribution functions (PDFs) at next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO)
from the CTEQ-TEA global analysis of quantum chromodynamics. These differ from previous …

A bstract We present the most precise value for the Higgs boson cross-section in the gluon-
fusion production mode at the LHC. Our result is based on a perturbative expansion through …

Combined ATLAS and CMS measurements of the Higgs boson production and decay rates,
as well as constraints on its couplings to vector bosons and fermions, are presented. The …

G eant 4 is a software toolkit for the simulation of the passage of particles through matter. It is
used by a large number of experiments and projects in a variety of application domains …

This report reviews the study of open heavy-flavour and quarkonium production in high-
energy hadronic collisions, as tools to investigate fundamental aspects of Quantum …

This paper describes the physics case for a new fixed target facility at CERN SPS. The SHiP
(search for hidden particles) experiment is intended to hunt for new physics in the largely …
