An overview of the latest development of the tools HiggsBounds and HiggsSignals is given..

I give a brief introduction to perturbative QCD and then present different variants of factorization, which is one of the main theory concepts for describing high-energy processes and the substructure of hadrons and nuclei.Topics that will be covered include: renormalisation and running coupling, deep inelastic scattering, parton distributions and fragmentation functions, generalised parton distributions and exclusive processes, transverse momentum and TMDs, hadron tomography, and the theory of multiparton interactions..

The most direct way of accessing and understanding fast dynamical processes in nature is by capturing the motion in real space with a high temporal and spatial resolution. This chapter details time-resolved imaging techniques for probing the transient evolution of the magnetization in small magnetic systems in the visible and soft X-ray spectral range. [...]

A supersaturated single-phase Cu–26 at.% Co alloy was produced by high-pressure torsiondeformation, leading to a nanocrystalline microstructure with a grain size smaller than 100 nm.The nonequilibrium solid solution decomposed during subsequent isothermal annealing. In situhigh-energy X-ray diffraction was used to map changes linked to the separating phases, and thedevelopment of a nanoscale Cu–Co composite structure was observed. [...]

In order to obtain optimal mechanical properties, the effect of heat treatment on the precipitation hardening in multicomponent Fe-based shape memory alloys (containing Ni, Co, Al, Ta, B) was studied. The polycrystalline material was investigated after application of three different processing schemas: slowly cooled, quenched and subsequently annealed with various aging conditions [...]

Silicon, being one of the most abundant elements in nature, attracts wide-ranging scientific and technological interest. Specifically, in its elemental form, crystals of remarkable purity can be produced. [...]
