abstract
A search is presented for the pair-production of heavy vector-like quarks in the lepton+jets final state using 140 fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}= 13$ TeV collected with the ATLAS detector. The search is optimised for vector-like top-quarks ($T$) that decay into a $W$ boson and a $b$-quark, with one $W$ boson decaying leptonically and the other hadronically. Other vector-like quark flavours and decay modes are also considered. Events are selected with one high transverse-momentum electron or muon, large missing transverse momentum, a large-radius jet identified as a $W$ boson, and multiple small-radius jets, at least one of which is $b$-tagged. Vector-like $T$-quarks with 100% branching ratio to $Wb$ are excluded at 95% CL for masses below 1700 GeV. These limits are also applied to vector-like $Y$-quarks, which decay exclusively into a $W$ boson and a $b$-quark. Isospin singlets with $ {\cal B}(T \to Wb:Ht:Zt)={1/2}:{1/4}:{1/4}$ are excluded for masses below 1360 GeV.

Search for pair-production of vector-like $T$ quarks decaying into a top quark and a spin-0 particle in the diphoton final state in proton proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV with the ATLAS detector
No excess is observed in a first ATLAS search for pair-produced vector-like T quarks decaying via an exotic spin-0 particle to diphotons; fiducial cross-section limits and a model exclusion up to m_T≈1620 GeV are set.

A CKM blind spot: probing $b$-column rescaling with kaons
A uniform rescaling of the CKM b-column is invisible to B-physics-only fits, and kaon data already bound it to −4%…+4% (2σ), with projections reaching ~2%.

Gravitational Waves from Dark Gauge Sectors
A dark SU(2) gauge sector that explains vector dark matter can produce LISA-detectable gravitational waves from a first-order phase transition, with a companion six-top signature at the HL-LHC.

Upper Bound on Parity Breaking Scale for Doublet WIMP Dark Matter
In a Parity-symmetric extension of the Standard Model with doublet-pair WIMP dark matter, thermal relic abundance requires the Parity breaking scale to be below 25-60 TeV.
