Testing the couplings of the Higgs boson to leptons is important to understand the origin of lepton masses. This talk presents measurements of Higgs boson production in decays to two tau leptons or two muons based on pp collision data collected at 13 TeV.
The CMS experiment at LHC has performed the first measurement of the CP structure of the Yukawa coupling between the Higgs boson and tau leptons. The measurement is based on data collected in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 13 TeV during 2016-18, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 137 fb^-1. The analysis utilizes the angular correlation between the decay planes of tau leptons...
The CP structure of the Higgs boson in its coupling to the particles of the Standard Model is amongst the most important Higgs boson properties which have not yet been constrained with high precision. In this study, all relevant inclusive and differential Higgs boson measurements from the ATLAS and CMS experiments are used to constrain the CP-nature of the top-Yukawa interaction. The model...
With the pp collision dataset collected at 13 TeV, detailed measurements of Higgs boson properties can be performed. This talk presents measurements of Higgs boson properties using Higgs boson decays to two photons, two Z bosons, or two W bosons, including production mode cross sections and simplified template cross sections.
We present recent results on the analysis of Higgs to WW decays and the corresponding constraints on the Higgs couplings. Focus is concentrated on the recent measurements exploiting the full Run 2 statistics. Recent constraints on new physics models derived from high mass searches in the WW channel are also presented.
We present results with soft-gluon resummation for the associated production of a single top quark and a Higgs boson. We present analytical results for the higher-order soft-gluon corrections and numerical results for the total cross section and top-quark transverse momentum and rapidity distributions at LHC energies.
The most precise measurements of Higgs boson cross sections, using the framework of simplified template cross sections, are obtained from a combination of the measurements performed in the different Higgs boson decay channels. This talk presents the combined measurements, as well as their interpretations.
The universality of the couplings of the different generations of leptons to the electroweak gauge bosons is at the core of the Standard Model of particle physics. In this contribution, a measurement of the ratio of the rate of decay of W bosons to ฯ-leptons and muons, R(ฯ/ฮผ)=B(Wโฯฮฝฯ)/B(Wโฮผฮฝฮผ), is presented, that constitutes an important test of this axiom. The measurement is based on a novel...
Measurements of the differential cross sections of Z + jets and ฮณ + jets production, and their ratio, are presented as a function of the boson transverse momentum. Measure- ments are also presented of the angular distribution between the Z boson direction and a jet in events where the Z boson is emitted collinear with a jet. The analysis is based on a data sample of proton-proton collisions at...
The description of the Drell-Yan (DY) transverse momentum spectrum requires matching of fixed order QCD calculations with soft gluon resummation up to all orders in the QCD coupling. It has been noticed in the literature that a consistent description of DY data in a wide kinematic regime from fixed-target to LHC energies is problematic. In this talk the predictions for transverse momentum...
Precision measurements of the production cross-sections of W/Z boson at LHC provide important tests of perturbative QCD and information about the parton distribution functions for quarks within the proton. We present measurements of fiducial integrated and differential cross sections for inclusive W+, Wโ and Z boson production using data collected by the ATLAS experiment at various...
Thanks to the large amount of data that is being and will be collected at Run-III and High Luminosity (HL) stage, precision measurements at the LHC are reaching an unprecedented level of statistical accuracy, whilst PDF uncertainties prevail. We study the impact of future measurements of lepton-charge and forward-backward asymmetries on PDF determination. The numerical results have been...

Many theories beyond the Standard Model predict additional Higgs bosons or other resonances, either at lower or higher masses than the observed Higgs boson near a mass of 125 GeV. This talk presents searches for such new states in leptonic or photonic final states using the full LHC Run 2 dataset recorded with the ATLAS detector.
Lepton flavor violation (LFV) constitutes a clear signature of New Physics, and has been searched for in many experiments. We present recent results on LFV searches from the Belle experiment. The results include a search for B โ K(*) l l', B โ tau l, tau โ p l l', tau โ l gamma decays. We also cover the study on the lepton flavor universality. The results are based on the full data sample...
We present a comprehensive analysis of the potential sensitivity of the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) to charged lepton flavor violation (CLFV) in the channel
perform simulations of signal and SM background events in...
Leptoquarks (LQ) are predicted by many new physics theories to describe the similarities between the lepton and quark sectors of the Standard Model and offer an attractive potential explanation for the lepton flavour anomalies observed at LHCb and flavour factories. The ATLAS experiment has a broad program of direct searches for leptoquarks, coupling to the first-, second- or third-generation...
We present theoretical results with soft-gluon corrections for two separate processes: (1) the production of a single top quark in association with a W boson in the Standard Model; and (2) the production of a single top quark in association with a heavy Z' boson in new physics models with or without anomalous couplings. We show that the higher-order corrections from soft-gluon emission are...
The electro-weak interactions of the top quark are tested at the LHC by measurements of electro-weak single top quark production, of associated production processes of top quarks with gauge bosons and of top quark decay. In this contribution, the most recent ATLAS results are discussed, including measurements of the differential cross section for ttZ and ttgamma production using the full run 2...
The muon campus program at Fermilab includes the Mu2e experiment that will search for a charged-lepton flavor violating processes where a negative muon converts into an electron in the field of an aluminum nucleus, improving by four orders of magnitude the search sensitivity reached so far.
Mu2eโs Trigger and Data Acquisition System (TDAQ) uses {\it otsdaq} as its solution. Developed at...
Building upon the most recent CT18 global fit, we present a new calculation of the photon content of proton based on an application of the LUXqed formalism. In this work, we explore two principal variations of the LUXqed ansatz. In one approach which we designate CT18lux, the photon PDF is calculated directly using the LUXqed formula for all scales,
In the Standard Model, the branching ratio for Higgs boson decays to invisible final states is very small, but it can be significantly enhanced in extensions of the Standard Model. In addition, the observed Higgs boson could couple to new particles decaying into Dark Matter. This talk presents searches for Higgs boson decays to invisible final states or Dark Matter in association with the...
The presence of a non-baryonic dark matter (DM) component in the Universe is inferred from the observation of its gravitational interaction. If dark matter interacts weakly with the Standard Model (SM) it could be produced at the LHC. The ATLAS experiment has developed a broad search program for DM candidates, including resonance searches for the mediator which would couple DM to the SM. The...
The Compact LInear Collider (CLIC) is a proposed TeV-scale high-luminosity electron-positron collider at CERN. CLIC will allow us to study the Higgs boson properties with very high precision. These measurements can also result in direct or indirect discovery of "new physics", Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) phenomena, which could help us to understand the nature of dark matter (DM). SM-like...
One of the primary goals of the proposed future collider experiments is to search for dark matter (DM) particles using different experimental approaches. High energy
Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) was proposed as the next energy-frontier infrastructure at CERN, allowing to study
We explore a new energy regime, 5 TeV, for the diboson production in proton-proton collisions using 304/pb of data collected with the CMS detector. The diboson, WW, WZ, and ZZ, cross sections are measured analyzing events with two, three or four charged leptons in the final state. The cross sections are compared with NNLO predictions and across other experiments.
Measurements of multiple electroweak bosons production at the LHC constitutes a stringent test of the electroweak sector and provides a model-independent means to search for new physics at the TeV scale. In this talk, we present recent results from the ATLAS experiment for multi-boson production in proton-proton collisions at โs=13 TeV. The measurements exploit both the leptonic and hadronic...
A measurement of the W+W- boson pair production cross section in proton-proton collisions at 13 TeV is presented. The data used in this study are collected with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb-1. The W+W- candidate events are selected by requiring two oppositely charged leptons (electrons or muons) aiming to measure the total production...
We will discuss the sensitivity to quartic anomalous couplings between photons and W/Z bosons at the LHC using intact protons in the final state. This allows obtaining a negligible background for 300 fb
The scattering of electroweak bosons tests the gauge structure of the Standard Model and is sensitive to anomalous weak boson self interactions. In this talk, we present recent results on weak-boson fusion and weak-boson scattering from the ATLAS experiment using proton-proton collisions at โs=13 TeV. We present the first observation of ZZ production via weak-boson scattering as well as...
Vector boson scattering (VBS) represents a key test of the standard model. In order to reliably extract the electroweak contribution to this process, which probes the triple and quartic gauge couplings, a good understanding of the QCD background is necessary. We present a study of the QCD contribution to same-sign W production in association with at least two jets at the LHC within the High...
Latest results from the VBS process all Run 2 will be presented.
We will discuss the sensitivity of the
Many theories beyond the Standard Model (BSM) predict the existence of new, heavy resonances that may decay in leptonic final states. This talk presents the search for physics BSM in final states with an electron or muon, and missing transverse momentum. The data was obtained with the CMS detector using full Run 2 luminosity.
Supersymmetry (SUSY) provides elegant solutions to several problems in the Standard Model, and searches for SUSY particles are an important component of the LHC physics program. Naturalness arguments for weak-scale supersymmetry favour supersymmetric partners of the gluons and third generation quarks with masses light enough to be produced at the LHC. Moreover, the direct production of...
The Higgs boson pair production via gluon fusion at high-energy hadron colliders, such as the LHC, is vital in deciphering the Higgs potential and in pinning down the electroweak symmetry breaking mechanism. In this talk, I will present the NNNLO QCD calculations in the infinite top-quark mass limit and predictions for both the inclusive and differential cross-sections. At the inclusive...
Di-Higgs final states can arise through non-resonant production of two Higgs bosons and through potential heavy states decaying to two Higgs boson. This talk presents searches in several Higgs boson decay channels using Run2 Data at 13 TeV and prospects at HL-LHC.
The LHeC and the FCC-eh offer unique prospects for the measurement of top properties in energy frontier, luminous ep scattering. An update of the 2012 Conceptual Design Report was produced last year [1]. In this talk we will revisit the determination of the top mass through inclusive measurements. In addition, we will address the possibilities for precise measurements of
Higgs production cross sections at LHeC (FCC-eh) energies are as large (larger than) those at future Z-H
The measurements of inclusive deep-inelastic electron-proton scattering (DIS) cross sections at high center-or-mass energies offer a unique opportunity for precision tests of electroweak interactions. In this talk we revisit electroweak effects in DIS and discuss the combined determination of parameters of electroweak theory together with parton distribution functions of the proton. Using...
