Search for single production of a vector-like $ {\mathrm{B}}^{\prime}$ quark decaying to a top quark and a W boson in the single-lepton final state in proton-proton collisions at $ \sqrt{s}= $ 13 TeV
A search is presented for the single production of a narrow-width vector-like $ {\mathrm{B}}^{\prime}$ quark that decays to a t quark and a W boson, with one of the decay products yielding an electron or muon. [...]

Dependence of two-particle azimuthal correlations on the forward rapidity gap width in $ \mathrm{p}\text{Pb} $ collisions at $ \sqrt{\smash[b]{s_{_{\mathrm{NN}}}}} = $ 8.16 TeV
One of the most striking features of relativistic heavy ion collisions is the presence of collective flow of thousands of produced particles. [...]

Probing Nucleon Spin Structure with a Polarized Gamma Beam from Compton Backscattering at FCC-ee / Canbay, A C (Ankara U.) ; Sultansoy, S (TOBB ETU, Ankara) ; Zimmermann, F (CERN)
We present a kinematic and optical design of a high-energy polarized gamma-ray facility based on Compton backscattering of lasers against the FCC-ee electron beams in its $Z$, $WW$, $ZH$ and $t\bar{t}$ modes. [...]

Measurement of the ratio of branching fractions $\mathcal{B}(B_c^+ \to J/ψτ^+ ν_τ)/\mathcal{B}(B_c^+ \to J/ψμ^+ ν_μ)$ / LHCb Collaboration
A measurement of the ratio of semileptonic branching fractions $\mathcal{R}(Jψ)$, defined as $\mathcal{R}(J/ψ) \equiv \mathcal{B}(B_c^+ \to J/ψτ^+ ν_τ)/\mathcal{B}(B_c^+ \to J/ψμ^+ ν_μ)$, is reported using a sample of proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.4 fb$^{-1}$ recorded by the LHCb experiment in 2016--2018 at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV.

Testing F-theory GUTs with the Axiverse / Nee, Michael (Harvard U.) ; Reig, Mario (CERN) ; Weigand, Timo (U. Hamburg (main))
We show that axions coupled to photons in F-theory Grand Unified Theories (GUTs) satisfy the coupling-to-mass relation $g_{aγ}/m_a \leq C\, \frac{α_{\rm em}}{2π}\frac{1}{m_πf_π}$, with $C$ a calculable coefficient. [...]
