We report the first direct experimental observations of resonance island formation in a hybrid multibend achromat (HMBA) storage ring lattice. Using a low-emittance electron beam, we achieved high-precision measurements that resolve the onset, evolution, and transient dynamics of particle capture near resonance islands. [...]

Traditional x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) relies upon a direct mapping between the photoelectron binding energies and the local chemical environment, which is well characterized by an electrostatic partial charges (PC) model for systems in equilibrium. However, the extension of this technique to out-of-equilibrium systems has been hampered by the lack of x-ray sources capable of accessing multiple atomic sites with high spectral and temporal resolution, as well as the lack of simple theoretical procedures to interpret the observed signals. [...]

Both ILC detector concepts – ILD and SiD – are very complex machines, the assembly andinstallation of which in the experimental cavern at the ILC interaction point will be complicatedendeavours. These procedures require careful planning and logistics, taking into accountnumerous constraints and boundary conditions. [...]

Within the gauge-theoretic approach of gravity, the gauging of an enlarged symmetry of the tangent space in four dimensions allows gravity to be unified with internal interactions. We study the unification of the Conformal and Noncommutative (Fuzzy) Gravities with Internal Interactions based on the SO(10) GUT..

Parton densities are obtained from a solution of the extended DGLAP-type evolution equation that includes both QCD and electroweak contributions. The equations are solved using the Parton-Branching (PB) approach, and the evolution is performed at next-to-leading order for QCD partons and leading order for electroweak bosons. [...]

This paper models gas networks as metric graphs, with isothermal Euler equations at the edges, Kirchhoff's law at interior vertices and time-(in)dependent boundary conditions at boundary vertices. For this setup, a generalized $p$-Wasserstein metric in a dynamic formulation is introduced and utilized to derive $p$-Wasserstein gradient flows, specifically focusing on the non-standard case $p = 3$..

A procedure for quantifying the U $5f$ electrons' covalence and degree of localization in U intermetallic compounds is presented. To this end, bulk sensitive hard and soft x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were utilized in combination with density-functional theory (DFT) plus dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) calculations. [...]

We present a study of the impact of data from the upcoming Electron Ion Collider (EIC) on the determination of the strong coupling within the context of the global MSHT fitting framework. To achieve this, we generate EIC electron-proton scattering pseudodata according to both conservative and optimistic experimental uncertainty projections and perform a simultaneous fit to obtain the proton PDFs and the value of the strong coupling. [...]

Massive leptophobic Z' bosons decaying to a pair of charginos are searched for in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV, using data samples collected by the CMS experiment in 2016, 2017, and 2018, corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 138 fb$^{-1}$. The Z' bosons originate from an additional U(1)' gauge symmetry extended to the minimal supersymmetric standard model. [...]

A study of angular correlations inside jets induced by gluon polarization is performed using proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}$ = 13.6 TeV. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 34.7 fb$^{-1}$, collected in 2022 with the CMS detector at the LHC. [...]
