Summary: This study proposes novel LHC searches for leptoquarks (LQs) using production methods beyond strong interaction, and provides detailed evaluations of achievable sensitivities for corresponding LQ signatures. Realistic analysis strategies are developed for resonant signals involving bottom quark and tau lepton, top quark and missing transverse energy, and light-flavour jets plus missing transverse energy, allowing for stringent constraints on the masses and couplings of third-generation singlet vector LQs. The proposed search channels have the potential to probe interesting parts of the LQ parameter space addressing B-physics anomalies at future LHC runs.

Summary: Landau damping is crucial for maintaining collective beam stability in particle accelerators, with precise knowledge of its strength being essential for accurate predictions on beam stability in high-energy colliders. An experimental procedure using active transverse feedback has been demonstrated to quantify the strength of Landau damping and the limits of beam stability, with stability diagrams for different Landau octupole strengths being measured at the Large Hadron Collider as a proof-of-principle test. This procedure could potentially provide an accurate way of measuring stability diagrams throughout the machine cycle in the future.

Summary: We propose a model that explains Dirac neutrino masses through nonperturbative QCD dynamics and chiral symmetry breaking. This model can be tested experimentally at hadron colliders and relies on the role of light quarks. Constraints from D - (D) over bar mixing data restrict the parameter space of the model. Measurements of charged Higgs leptonic branching ratios can differentiate between different neutrino mass hierarchies.

Summary: In this paper, a quantitative framework is developed to characterize the half-integer stop band for realistic, Gaussian-like distributed bunched beams using SIS100 as an example. The results show that, for bunched beams, even a relatively small gradient error can result in a large half-integer stop band width, significantly reducing the achievable maximum beam intensity.

Summary: This paper presents measurements of the relative decrease of light output during irradiation of small plastic scintillator tiles read out by silicon photomultipliers. The study found substantial temporary damage during low-temperature irradiation, regardless of oxygen concentration and wrapping material. The wrapping material had an impact on the relative light loss, with the 3M(TM) Enhanced Specular Reflector Film showing the largest loss. The light loss was less at warmer temperatures and similar to that in standard atmosphere with 3% oxygen concentration. Evidence of a plateau in the radical density was seen for the data at 0 degrees C.
