Axion dark matter passing through the magnetospheres of magnetars can undergo hyper-efficient resonant mixing with low-energy photons, leading to the production of narrow spectral lines that could be detectable on Earth. Since this is a resonant process triggered by the spatial variation in the photon dispersion relation, the luminosity and spectral properties of the emission are highly sensitive to the charge and current densities permeating the magnetosphere.

This Letter reports the observation of W+W−γ triboson production in 140 fb−1 of data collected by the ATLAS detector from proton–proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of s = 13 TeV at the LHC. Events with an opposite-charge eμ pair, a high transverse-momentum photon, and significant missing transverse momentum are considered. [...]

Investigating the ultrafast dynamics of primary biological compounds is crucial for gaining insights into radiation damage. We computationally investigate the ionization-induced dynamics of glycine in an aqueous solution. [...]

FLASH, the XUV and soft X-ray free-electron laser at DESY, is currently undergoing the 2nd of two long upgrade shutdowns within the FLASH2020+ project. The 1st half of 2024 was dedicated to user operation. [...]

In cases of severe cardiopulmonary failure, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) may be temporarily used as a life-saving support for cardiac and/or lung function. Operating under non-physiological flow conditions, characterized by elevated shear rates and stagnant flow zones, there is an increased risk of inducing thrombosis, bleeding and hemolysis. [...]

In diesem Manuskript wird der Versuch unternommen, die Grundideen und Konzepte der modernen Elementarteilchentheorie zu vermitteln und dabei den komplizierten mathematischen Formalismus weitgehend zu vermeiden..

A sample of 365 fb$^{-1}$ of $e^+e^- \to Υ(4S) \to B\bar{B}$ data collected by the Belle II experiment is used to measure the partial branching fractions of charmless semileptonic $B$ meson decays and determine the magnitude of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element $V_{ub}$. Events containing a signal electron or muon $\ell$ and a fully reconstructed hadronic $B$ decay that constrains the signal kinematics are selected, while the rest of the event defines the hadronic system $X_u$ associated with the signal. [...]

We present a measurement of the time-dependent CP asymmetry in ${B}^{0}\to {K}_{\text{S}}^{0}{\pi }^{+}{\pi }^{-}\gamma $ decays using a data set of 365 fb$^{−1}$ recorded by the Belle II experiment and the final data set of 711 fb$^{−1}$ recorded by the Belle experiment at the Υ(4S) resonance. The direct and mixing-induced time-dependent CP violation parameters C and S are determined along with two additional quantities, S$^{+}$ and S$^{−}$, defined in the two halves of the ${m}^{2}\left({K}_{\text{S}}^{0}{\pi }^{+}\right)-{m}^{2}\left({K}_{\text{S}}^{0}{\pi }^{-}\right)$ plane [...]

We present the International Particle Physics Outreach Group (IPPOG), a global network dedicated to connecting students, educators, and the general public with the world of particle physics. In this paper, we outline the need to bridge the existing gap between the particle physics community and the wider audience, and we present the solutions that IPPOG has implemented to overcome it through three pillar Activities: the International Masterclasses and the Global Cosmics hands-on activities network, which have engaged together over 200,000 high-school students to date, and the curation of an Outreach Resource Database and web portal..

We present the result of a search for the charged-lepton-flavor violating decays τ$^{−}$→ e$^{∓}$ℓ$^{±}$ℓ$^{−}$, where ℓ is a muon or an electron, using a data sample with an integrated luminosity of 428 fb$^{−1}$ recorded by the Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB e$^{+}$e$^{−}$ collider. The selection of e$^{+}$e$^{−}$→ τ$^{+}$τ$^{−}$ events containing a signal candidate is based on an inclusive-tagging reconstruction and on a boosted decision tree to suppress background.Upper limits on the branching fractions between 1.3 and 2.5 × 10$^{−8}$ are set at the 90% confidence level [...]
