Evidence for the direct decay of the 125 GeV Higgs boson to fermions: The discovery of a new boson with a mass of approximately 125 GeV in 2012 at the LHC has heralded a new era in understanding the nature of electroweak symmetry breaking and possibly completing the standard model of particle physics. Since the first o...

Search for Leptoquarks in Electron-Photon Scattering at sqrt(s_ee) up to 209 GeV at LEP: Searches for first generation scalar and vector leptoquarks, and for squarks in R-parity violating SUSY models with the direct decay of the squark into Standard Model particles, have been performed using e+e- collisions collected...

Search for Electron Neutrino Appearance in a 250 km Long-baseline Experiment: We present a search for electron neutrino appearance from accelerator produced muon neutrinos in the K2K long baseline neutrino experiment. One candidate event is found in the data corresponding to an exposure of 4.8*10^19 protons on target...

Search for high-mass resonances in final states with a lepton and missing transverse momentum at $\sqrt{s}=$ 13 TeV: A search for new high-mass resonances in proton-proton collisions having final states with an electron or muon and missing transverse momentum is presented. The analysis uses proton-proton collision da...

Measurement of the effective weak mixing angle at the CEPC: We present a study of the measurement of the effective weak mixing angle parameter ($\sin^2\theta^{\ell}_\text{eff}$) at the Circular Electron Positron Collider (CEPC). As a fundamental physics parameter, $\sin^2\theta^{\ell}_\text{eff}$ plays a key role not o...

Total Cross Section in gamma gamma Collisions at LEP: The reaction e+e- -> e+e- gamma* gamma* -> e+e- hadrons for quasi-real photons is studied using data from root(s) = 183 GeV up to 202 GeV. Results on the total cross sections sigma(e+e- -> e+e- hadrons) and sigma(+e- gamma* gamma* -> e+e- hadrons) are given for th...

Measurement of associated production of vector bosons and top quark-antiquark pairs at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV: The first measurement of vector-boson production associated with a top quark-antiquark pair in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV is presented. The results are based on a data set corresponding to an integ...
