Higher-order Fisher tensors in exponential-family coordinates of binned energy correlators are simultaneously local KL coefficients, connected cumulants, and hyperedge weights, enabling hypergraph constructions for jet substructure analysis.
CMS reports a simultaneous measurement of 25 N-subjettiness observables in 1-, 2-, and 3-prong jets, unfolded to stable particles with particle-level correlations for QCD modeling.
First observation of electroweak photon plus two jets production yields a cross section of 202 fb consistent with the standard model prediction of 177 fb at greater than 5 sigma significance.
No excess observed; first LHC search sets 95% CL upper limits on H to AA to 4e branching fraction down to 10^{-5} for 10-100 MeV masses and short lifetimes.
ALICE reports the first simultaneous multiplicity and m_T dependence of the femtoscopic source radius in pp collisions at 13.6 TeV, extracted assuming nucleon-nucleon interaction models and showing different multiplicity dependence than in Pb-Pb collisions.
The ttbar production cross section in PbPb collisions at 5.36 TeV is measured as 3.42 +0.54-0.51 (stat) +0.50-0.43 (syst) μb and is consistent with NNLO pQCD predictions using nuclear PDFs.
No significant excess observed; 95% CL exclusion of higgsino electroweakinos with mass splittings 0.28-1.15 GeV and chargino masses up to 185 GeV using soft-track and neural-network selection.
CMS excludes κ_VV outside 0.40-1.60 at 95% CL and constrains κ_2W and κ_2Z using VBS events with a boosted Higgs to bb decay.
No significant excess observed in four-lepton events from heavy resonances, setting upper limits on production cross sections for dilepton masses 0.4-15 GeV using novel merged-object techniques.
CMS develops two multivariate models for identifying boosted dielectrons with γ_L > 20, reporting 80% efficiency for two-track cases from J/ψ data and 60% for single-track from Z conversions, plus an energy correction.
No excess found in search for T' to top plus phi; excludes T' masses 0.85-1.3 TeV at 95% CL for SM Higgs case with 5% width, and sets cross-section limits as low as 0.1 fb.
PaRT achieves >50% tagging efficiency for boosted H->WW jets at 1% background efficiency, decorrelated from jet mass, with data-to-simulation scale factors of 0.9-1.0 on 138 fb^{-1} of 13 TeV collisions.
No significant excess is observed in leptonic W/Z plus high-multiplicity soft-particle events, setting limits on Higgs to SUEP decays across a range of model parameters.
CMS implemented a particle-flow algorithm that reconstructs a complete list of final-state particles per collision, delivering superior performance for jets, hadronic taus, missing transverse momentum, and lepton identification up to 20 pileup interactions.
The rare Higgs decay H to four bottom quarks has a branching ratio of order 1.6e-3 with relevant destructive interference and is observable at 3-5 sigma at HL-LHC and ILC via boosted decision tree analyses in WH and ZH production.
No evidence found for a new heavy scalar resonance X decaying to Higgs plus new scalar Y in the four-bottom-quark final state; 95% CL upper limits set on cross section times branching fraction.
No evidence found for light charged Higgs bosons in ttbar events; upper limits set on B(t to H±b) of 0.07-1.12% at 95% CL for masses 40-160 GeV assuming 100% decay to cs.
LHC vector boson fusion searches enhanced by machine learning can probe substantial regions of cosmologically viable parameter space for freeze-in dark matter mediated by a spin-2 particle.
ATLAS reports the first measurement of the complete angular coefficients and pT-differential cross sections for W+ and W- bosons in full lepton phase space at 13 TeV, finding agreement with QCD predictions up to order α_S².
Monte Carlo simulation plus XGBoost and GNN classification yields 2σ exclusion and 5σ discovery contours in the (g*, m_T) plane for a singlet vector-like top quark at 3000 fb⁻¹ in the hadronic tZ channel.
New double-differential measurement of angular coefficients A0-A7 in Drell-Yan muon pair production in eight pT and two rapidity bins, compared to NNLO pQCD.
New upper limits exclude mediator masses up to 4.5 TeV for a 50 GeV dark Higgs and up to 2.5 TeV for 150 GeV in a spin-1 mediator dark matter model, the most stringent to date for these masses.
Combined LHC data shows no deviation from the standard model in single-photon plus missing momentum events, establishing the strongest limits to date on simplified dark matter models and large extra dimensions.
