EM Shower Reconstruction and Identification at FASERnu / Wang, Yuxiao (Tsinghua University (CN)) ; Inada, Tomohiro (Kyushu University (JP)) /FASER Collaboration
We present methods for electromagnetic (EM) shower reconstruction and identification (Reco&ID;) in the FASERnu emulsion detector using 100 GeV and 200 GeV electron test-beam data from the CERN SPS H4 beamline. The reconstruction employs adaptive DBSCAN clustering with sequential centroid validation and robust Huber fitting to determine shower axes without energy-dependent parameter tuning. [...]

Measurement of jet photoproduction in ultra-peripheral Pb+Pb collisions without nuclear breakup at $\sqrt{s_\mathrm{NN}} = 5.02$ TeV with the ATLAS detector
In ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions at the LHC, each nucleus acts as a source of high-energy quasi-real photons that can participate in scattering processes without causing either participating nucleus to break up and emit forward neutrons. [...]

Angular analysis of the $B^+ \to \pi^+ \mu^+ \mu^-$ decay
This paper presents the first measurement of the forward-backward asymmetry, $A_{\rm FB}$, and the flat term, $F_{H}$, that parameterise the angular distribution of the $B^+\to\pi^+\mu^+\mu^-$ decay. [...]

Fabrication and characterization of Triple GEM detectors for HEP experiments / Giri Raj Mohan Sharma ; Dhingra, Nitish (Panjab U.) ; Chauhan, Sushil Singh (Panjab U.) ; Bhatnagar, Vipin (Panjab U.) /CMS Collaboration
Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) detectors are advanced micro-pattern gaseous devices designed for particle detection in harsh radiation environments. The central feature of GEM detector is a thin metal-clad polymer (usually Kapton) foil chemically etched with a high density of microscopic bi-conical holes, where each hole acts as an individual proportional amplifier.
