Overview of $B \to K^{(*)}\ell \ell$ Theoretical Calculations and Uncertainties / Mahmoudi, F. (IP2I, Lyon ; CERN ; IUF, Paris) ; Monceaux, Y. (IP2I, Lyon)
The search for New Physics (NP) beyond the Standard Model (SM) has been a central focus of particle physics, including in the context of $B$-meson decays involving $b \to s \ell \ell$ transitions. These transitions, mediated by flavour-changing neutral currents, are highly sensitive to small NP effects due to their suppression in the SM. [...]

Self-interacting dark matter solves the final parsec problem of supermassive black hole mergers / Alonso-Álvarez, Gonzalo (Toronto U. ; McGill U.) ; Cline, James M. (McGill U. ; CERN) ; Dewar, Caitlyn (McGill U.)
Evidence for a stochastic gravitational wave (GW) background, plausibly originating from the merger of supermassive black holes (SMBHs), is accumulating with observations from pulsar timing arrays. An outstanding question is how inspiraling SMBHs get past the "final parsec" of separation, where they have a tendency to stall before GW emission alone can make the binary coalesce. [...]

An event generator for Lepton-Hadron Deep Inelastic Scattering at NLO+PS with POWHEG including mass effects / Buonocore, Luca (CERN) ; Limatola, Giovanni (Turin U.) ; Nason, Paolo (INFN, Milan Bicocca ; Munich, Max Planck Inst.) ; Tramontano, Francesco (CERN ; Naples U.)
We present a generator for lepton nucleon collisions in the DIS regime, focusing in particular on processes with a massive lepton and/or a massive quark in the final state. We have built a full code matching NLO QCD corrections to parton shower Monte Carlo programs in the POWHEG-BOX framework. [...]

Baryon-number — flavor separation in the topological expansion of QCD / Frenklakh, David (SUNY, Stony Brook) ; Kharzeev, Dmitri (SUNY, Stony Brook ; Brookhaven) ; Rossi, Giancarlo (INFN, Rome ; Enrico Fermi Ctr., Rome) ; Veneziano, Gabriele (CERN ; College de France)
Gauge invariance of QCD dictates the presence of string junctions in the wave functions of baryons. In high-energy inclusive processes, these baryon junctions have been predicted to induce the separation of the flows of baryon number and flavor. [...]

$\mathrm{D}$ and $\mathrm{D_s}$ decay constants in $N_{\rm f}=2+1$ QCD with Wilson fermions / Kuberski, Simon (CERN ; Mainz U., Inst. Phys. ; Darmstadt, GSI) ; Joswig, Fabian (Edinburgh U.) ; Collins, Sara (Regensburg U.) ; Heitger, Jochen (Munster U., ITP) ; Söldner, Wolfgang (Regensburg U.) /RQCD Collaboration ; ALPHA Collaboration
We present results for the leptonic decay constants of the D and D$_{\rm s}$ mesons from $N_{\rm f}=2+1$ lattice QCD. We employ a set of 49 high statistics gauge ensembles generated by the Coordinated Lattice Simulations (CLS) effort utilising non-perturbatively improved Wilson fermions and the tree-level Symanzik improved gauge action at six values of the lattice spacing in the range $a = 0.098\,$fm down to $a = 0.039\,$fm, with pion masses varying from around $420\,$MeV down to below the physical point.

We present the two-loop mixed strong-electroweak virtual corrections to the charged current Drell-Yan process. The final-state collinear singularities are regularised by the lepton mass. [...]

Probing Neutral Triple Gauge Couplings via $\boldsymbol{Z\gamma\,(\ell^+\ell^-\gamma)}$ Production at $\boldsymbol{e^+e^-}$ Colliders / Liu, Danning (Shanghai Jiao Tong U.) ; Xiao, Rui-Qing (Shanghai Jiao Tong U. ; King's Coll. London) ; Li, Shu (Shanghai Jiao Tong U. ; Maryland U. ; Peking U., CHEP) ; Ellis, John (Shanghai Jiao Tong U. ; King's Coll. London ; CERN) ; He, Hong-Jian (Shanghai Jiao Tong U. ; Peking U., CHEP) ; Yuan, Rui (Shanghai Jiao Tong U.)
Neutral triple gauge couplings (nTGCs) are absent in the Standard Model (SM) and at the dimension-6 level in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT), arising first from dimension-8 operators. As such, they provide a unique window for probing new physics beyond the SM. [...]

Benchmark of deep-inelastic-scattering structure functions at $\mathcal {O}\left( \alpha _s ^3\right) $ / Bertone, Valerio (IRFU, Saclay) ; Karlberg, Alexander (CERN)
We present a benchmark comparison of the massless inclusive deep-inelastic-scattering (DIS) structure functions up to $\mathcal{O}(\alpha_s^3)$ in perturbative QCD. The comparison is performed using the codes APFEL++ and HOPPET within the framework of the variable-flavour-number scheme and over a broad kinematic range relevant to the extraction of parton distribution functions.
