The Cherenkov Telescope Array, CTA, will be the major global observatory for very high energy gamma-ray astronomy over the next decade and beyond. The scientific potential of CTA is extremely broad: from understanding the role of relativistic cosmic particles to the search for dark matter. [...]

In this work, a search for heavy pseudoscalar and scalar (A/H) Higgs bosons decaying to top-anti-top quark pairs (t ̄t) and a measurement of top quark polarization and t ̄t spin correlation are presented, performed using 35.9 /fb of data recorded by the CMS experiment in 2016. The dileptonic t ̄t final state is investigated in both analyses.The A/H Higgs boson search exploits the 2-dimensional spectrum of t ̄t invariant mass and an angular observable sensitive to both the spin and parity of the t ̄t system. [...]

In this work, the dynamics of low-energy photoelectrons, generated by multiphoton ionization from near-infrared (NIR) laser pulses, in the presence of intense near single-cycle carrier-envelope phase stable Terahertz (THz) pulses, were experimentally investigated. For certain time delays between the NIR and THz pulses, a strong modulation of the photoelectron momentum distribution was observed and attributed to rescattering from the ionic core. [...]

This open access book is written by world-recognized experts in the fields of applied superconductivity and superconducting accelerator magnet technologies. It provides a contemporary review and assessment of the experience in research and development of high-field accelerator dipole magnets based on Nb3Sn superconductor over the past five decades.

We study string inspired two-field models of large-field inflation based on axion monodromy in the presence of an interacting heavier modulus. This class of models has enough structure to approximate at least part of the backreaction effects known in full string theory, such as kinetic mixing with the axion, and flattening of the scalar potential.
