This paper presents a summary of beam-induced backgrounds observed in the ATLAS detector and discusses methods to tag and remove background contaminated events in data. Trigger-rate based monitoring of beam-related backgrounds is presented. The correlations of backgrounds with machine conditions, such as residual pressure in the beam-pipe, are discussed. Results from dedicated beam-background simulations are shown, and their qualitative agreement with data is evaluated. Data taken during the passage of unpaired, i.e. non-colliding, proton bunches is used to obtain background-enriched data samples. These are used to identify characteristic features of beam-induced backgrounds, which then are exploited to develop dedicated background tagging tools. These tools, based on observables in the Pixel detector, the muon spectrometer and the calorimeters, are described in detail and their efficiencies are evaluated. Finally an example of an application of these techniques to a monojet analysis is given, which demonstrates the importance of such event cleaning techniques for some new physics searches.

Detecting and Studying High-Energy Collider Neutrinos with FASER at the LHC
FASERν is predicted to detect thousands of collider neutrinos at the LHC and measure their cross sections at TeV energies, closing a gap in neutrino measurements.

Search for higgsinos in compressed mass spectra using low-momentum tracks in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV with the ATLAS detector
No excess over the Standard Model is observed; ATLAS excludes chargino masses below 126 GeV at 95% CL for mass splittings of 0.3–2 GeV in a simplified higgsino model.

Search for light long-lived neutral particles produced in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV and decaying into collimated leptons or light hadrons with the ATLAS detector
No evidence for displaced dark-photon jets is found, and 95% confidence limits exclude cross sections above about 4 pb for H to two dark photons with decay lengths from 1.5 mm to 307 mm.
