Due to the inclination for forward gauge radiation, lepton colliders beyond a few TeV are effectively electroweak boson colliders, suggesting the treatment of electroweak bosons as constituents of high-energy leptons. In this talk, we summarize the status of electroweak boson parton distribution functions, present new theoretical progress on their implementation, and give a brief outlook for...

It has been known since the 1950's that an unstable particle is associated with a complex pole in the propagator. This had to be rediscovered twice: in the early 1970's in the context of hadronic resonances, and in the early 1990's in the context of the $Z$ boson. The physical mass of the particle is the real part of the pole in the complex energy plane. In hadronic physics, this replaced the...

We investigate dark gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking with an unbroken $U(1)_D$ symmetry and a massless dark photon. Messengers charged under both Standard Model and dark gauge groups generate new soft SUSY-breaking terms via gauge kinetic mixing. Large mixing significantly alters superpartner spectra compared to standard GMSB, reduces the ฮผ parameter, and predicts a relatively light...

The anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, i.e. ($g-2$), is one of the versatile and promising probes of new physics at the GeV scale, particularly for $Z^{\prime}$ gauge bosons that couple to both leptons and quarks. Due to inputs from experiments, lattice QCD as well as theory collaborations, one can constrain such BSM theories using various combinations of these inputs. Based on this idea,...

The electron and muon anomalous magnetic moment (gโ2) are among the most precisely tested quantities in nature. But what about tau-leptons? Long overlooked, tau gโ2 is so poorly constrained it cannot even test Schwinger's landmark $\alpha/2\pi \simeq 0.0012$ prediction from 1948. This leaves striking room for new physics where taus enjoy 280 times greater sensitivity than muons. Creative...

As the heaviest known fundamental particle, the top quark plays a pivotal role in the search for new physics. Many beyond-the-Standard-Model theories predict interactions between the top quark and yet undiscovered particles. With the LHC becoming a top quark factory, it offers unprecedented opportunities to study top quark properties and explore potential signs of new physics. In this talk,...

A general two Higgs doublet model is adopted to study flavor changing neutral Higgs (FCNH) interactions in $pp \to t \phi\to t(tc)$ at the Large Hadron Collider, where $\phi$ is either the CP-even Higgs scalar ($H$) or the CP-odd Higgs pseudoscalar ($A$). We considered two final states, (i) single lepton: $ttc \to bjj cb\ell\nu$, and (ii) same sign di-lepton: $ttc \to bbc \ell\ell \nu\nu$...

The Standard Model of Particle Physics explains many natural phenomena yet remains incomplete. Many new physics models (such as leptoquarks, W'/Z', or heavy neutral leptons) could manifest in final states involving multiple leptons. This talk will summarise the latest results from ATLAS in searches involving final states with leptons.

The discovery of the Higgs boson with the mass of about 125 GeV completed the particle content predicted by the Standard Model. Even though this model is well established and consistent with many measurements, it is not capable of explaining some observations by itself. Many extensions of the Standard Model addressing such shortcomings introduce beyond-the-Standard-Model couplings to the Higgs...

The interpretation of multi-particle spin systems produced at colliders as quantum states has shown the potential to obtain quantum information at colliders. For instance, top quark or lepton pairs produced at colliders exhibit correlated spin states. Fermion pair production at lepton colliders presents an ideal source for comprehensive quantum tomography of the production process, enabling...

We discuss systematic limitations of entanglement measurements in particle production processes at collider experiments. Using the example of $pp\to ZZ$ production at the Large Hadron Collider, we study the distinct contributions that arise at leading and higher orders, which can affect the interpretation of the system as a two-qutrit $ZZ$ system.

We consider 2-to-2 scatterings of Higgs bosons in a CP-conserving two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM) and study the implication of maximizing the entanglement in the flavor space, where the two doublets $\Phi_a$, $a=1,2$, can be viewed as a qubit: $\Phi_1=|0\rangle$ and $\Phi_2=|1\rangle$. More specifically, we compute the scattering amplitudes for $\Phi_a \Phi_b \to \Phi_c \Phi_d$ and require ...

In the Standard Model, the ground state of the Higgs field is not found at zero but instead corresponds to one of the degenerate solutions minimising the Higgs potential. In turn, this spontaneous electroweak symmetry breaking provides a mechanism for the mass generation of nearly all fundamental particles. The Standard Model makes a definite prediction for the Higgs boson self-coupling and...

In quantum computing, non-stabilizerness -- the magic -- refers to the computational advantage of certain quantum states over classical computers and is an essential ingredient for universal quantum computation. Employing the second order stabilizer R\'enyi entropy to quantify magic, we study the production of magic states in Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) via 2-to-2 scattering processes...

Though the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics has been a very successful theory in explaining a wide range of measurements, there are still many questions left unanswered such as incorporation of gravity into SM, neutrino masses, matter-antimatter asymmetry, supersymmetry, or existence of dark matter candidates. One of the possible solutions to address these challenges is the extension of...

Many theories beyond the Standard Model (SM) have been proposed to address several of the SM shortcomings.

Many models beyond the standard model predict new particles with long lifetimes.

Dedicated triggers and innovative usage of the CMS detector are exploited in this context to significantly boost the sensitivity of such searches at...

Tensor Networks, originally developed for quantum many-body systems, offer powerful representations of high-dimensional data. When applied to discriminate top quark signals from QCD backgrounds, the entanglement entropy of the tensor network model can give us insight into the correlations it has learned. Moreover, our study shows tensor network model is more resilient to detector effects and pile-up.
