A search is presented for an excess of events with heavy-flavor quark pairs ({t}\overline{{t}} and {b} \overline{{b}} ) and a large imbalance in transverse momentum in data from proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 2.2 fb^{-1} collected with the CMS detector at the CERN

A search for a signal consistent with the type-III seesaw mechanism in events with three or more electrons or muons is presented. The data sample consists of proton-proton collisions at √{s }=13 TeV collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2016 and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb-1 . Selection criteria based on the number of

Black hole candidates (BHCs) are increasingly found as luminous hard x-ray sources, with spectra exending up to 100-200 keV, which undergo transient outbursts and appear as "X-ray novae" for durations of typically 10-100 days. The BATSE detectors on CGRO constitute a powerful all-sky monitor and have detected the brightest of these, with peak

Based on the high sensitivity of Compton scattering off ultra relativistic electrons, the possibility of anisotropies in the speed of light is investigated. The result discussed in this contribution is based on the γ-ray beam of the ESRF's GRAAL facility (Grenoble, France) and the search for sidereal variations in the energy of the Compton-edge

Context: The footpoints of quiet Sun Transition Region (TR) loops do not seem to coincide with the photospheric magnetic structures appearing in traditional low-sensitivity magnetograms. Aims: We look for the so-far unidentified photospheric footpoints of TR loops using G-band bright points (BPs) as proxies for photospheric magnetic field

High-speed photometric observations were performed of the Ap stars HD62140 (49 Cam), HD81009, and HD22374 for more than 60 hr in Oct. and Dec. 1986. Photometric measurements in the B band were reduced and the residuals obtained were subjected to a harmonic analysis, searching for periodicities in the range of a few minutes to 2 hr. There is
