Transmutation of $^{16}$O and $^{20}$Ne at the Large Hadron Collider / Nijs, Govert (CERN) ; van der Schee, Wilke (CERN ; Utrecht U. (main) ; Nikhef, Amsterdam ; Tech. U., Dortmund (main))
In July 2025 the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will collide $^{16}$O$^{16}$O and $^{20}$Ne$^{20}$Ne isotopes in a quest to understand the physics of ultrarelativistic light ion collisions. [...]

Probing Neutral Triple Gauge Couplings via $ZZ$ Production at $e^+e^-$ Colliders / Ellis, John (Shanghai Jiao Tong U. ; King's Coll. London ; CERN) ; He, Hong-Jian (Tsung-Dao Lee Inst., Shanghai ; Shanghai Jiao Tong U. ; Tsinghua U., Beijing ; Peking U., CHEP) ; Xiao, Rui-Qing (Peking U.) ; Zeng, Shi-Ping (Tsung-Dao Lee Inst., Shanghai ; Shanghai Jiao Tong U.)
Neutral triple gauge couplings (nTGCs) first arise from the dimension-8 operators of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT), rather than the dimension-4 SM Lagrangian and dimension-6 SMEFT operators, opening up a unique window for probing new physics at the dimension-8 level. [...]

Leptogenesis in automatic Nelson-Barr models / Murgui, Clara (CERN) ; Patrone, Samuel (Caltech)
In this study, we numerically show that automatic Nelson-Barr models with new chiral fermions can simultaneously solve the strong CP problem and generate the observed baryon asymmetry via high-scale leptogenesis. [...]

Stable perturbative predictions for isolated photon production with a jet pair at large $m_{j_1 j_2}$ / Andersen, Jeppe R. (Durham U., IPPP ; CERN) ; Maier, Andreas (Barcelona, IFAE ; Barcelona, Autonoma U.) ; Rosca, Malina (Durham U., IPPP) ; Ruisi, Giacomo (DESY, Zeuthen)
We present the first calculation of the high-energy corrections to the process of isolated photon production in association with two jets. [...]

A Determination of $α_s(m_Z)$ at aN$^3$LO$_{\bf QCD}\otimes {\bf NLO}_{\bf QED}$ Accuracy from a Global PDF Analysis / Ball, Richard D. (U. Edinburgh, Higgs Ctr. Theor. Phys.) ; Barontini, Andrea (INFN, Milan ; Milan U.) ; Cruz-Martinez, Juan (CERN) ; Forte, Stefano (INFN, Milan ; Milan U.) ; Hekhorn, Felix (Jyvaskyla U. ; Helsinki U.) ; Nocera, Emanuele R. (Turin U. ; INFN, Turin) ; Rojo, Juan (Vrije U., Amsterdam ; NIKHEF, Amsterdam) ; Stegeman, Roy (Heriot-Watt U. (main))
We present a determination of the strong coupling $α_s(m_Z)$ from a global dataset including both fixed-target and collider data from deep-inelastic scattering and a variety of hadronic processes, with a simultaneous determination of parton distribution functions (PDFs) based on the NNPDF4.0 methodology.

Flavoured jet algorithms: a comparative study / Behring, Arnd (Garching, Max Planck Inst.) ; Caletti, Simone (Zurich, ETH) ; Giuli, Francesco (Rome U., Tor Vergata ; INFN, Rome) ; Grabarczyk, Radoslaw (Oxford U. ; Oxford U., Theor. Phys.) ; Hinzmann, Andreas (DESY) ; Huss, Alexander (CERN) ; Huston, Joey (Michigan State U.) ; Lesser, Ezra D. (CERN) ; Marzani, Simone (Genoa U. ; INFN, Genoa) ; Napoletano, Davide (Milan Bicocca U. ; INFN, Milan Bicocca) et al.
The accurate identification of heavy-flavour jets, those which originate from bottom or charm quarks, is crucial for precision studies of the Standard Model and searches for new physics. [...]

Personal Memories of 50 Years of Quarkonia / Ellis, John (King's Coll. London ; CERN)
The world of particle physics was revolutionised in November 1974 by the discovery of the J/psi particle, the first particle to be identified as a quarkonium state composed of charm quarks and antiquarks. [...]
