In the Standard Model of Particle Physics, all leptons have the same coupling strength tothe weak interaction. Comparing the theoretical model with experimental observations revealsa slight deviation in the electron branching fraction of τ -lepton decays. [...]

Kinetics of order-disorder transitions including melting in low-dimensional systems is theoretically predicted to be heterogeneous that start by nucleation in defect sites at lower than homogeneous bulk-melting temperature requiring substantially lower energy barrier. We probed kinetics of such transition in thin multilayered films using x-ray scattering and in situ atomic force microscopy (AFM) studies. [...]

A search for a dark photon, a new light neutral particle, which decays promptly into collimated pairs of electrons or muons is presented. The search targets dark photons resulting from the exotic decay of the Standard Model Higgs boson, assuming its production via the dominant gluon-gluon fusion mode. [...]

A search is performed for light, spin-0 bosons decaying into two photons in the 66 to 110 GeV mass range, using 140 fb$^{−1}$ of proton-proton collisions at $ \sqrt{s} $ = 13 TeV produced by the Large Hadron Collider and collected by the ATLAS detector. Multivariate analysis techniques are used to define event categories that improve the sensitivity to new resonances beyond the Standard Model [...]
