Search for Nearly Mass-Degenerate Higgsinos Using Low-Momentum Mildly Displaced Tracks in 𝑝⁢𝑝 Collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV with the ATLAS Detector

Higgsinos with masses near the electroweak scale can solve the hierarchy problem and provide a dark matter candidate, while detecting them at the LHC remains challenging if their mass splitting is 𝒪⁡(1 GeV). This Letter presents a novel search for nearly mass-degenerate Higgsinos in events with an energetic jet, missing transverse momentum, and a low-momentum track with a significant transverse impact parameter using 140 fb −1 of proton-proton collision data at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV collected by the ATLAS experiment. For the first time since LEP, a range of mass splittings between the lightest charged and neutral Higgsinos from 0.3 to 0.9 GeV is excluded at 95% confidence level, with a maximum reach of approximately 170 GeV in the Higgsino mass.

Search for Light Long-Lived Particles in $pp$ Collisions at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV Using Displaced Vertices in the ATLAS Inner Detector

A search for long-lived particles (LLPs) using 140 fb -1 of pp collision data with $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC is presented. The search targets LLPs with masses between 5 and 55 GeV that decay hadronically in the ATLAS inner detector. Benchmark models with LLP pair production from exotic decays of the Higgs boson and models featuring long-lived axionlike particles (ALPs) are considered. No significant excess above the expected background is observed. Upper limits are placed on the branching ratio of the Higgs boson to pairs of LLPs, the cross section for ALPs produced in association with a vector boson, and, for the first time, on the branching ratio of the top quark to an ALP and a u/c quark.

Additive Manufacturing for Large Displacement Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (LDUUVs)

Oak Ridge National Laboratory partnered with Anduril Industries to develop the process for adapting large format additive manufacturing for the production of underwater vehicles. This research started by defining and selecting a polymer for the vehicle panels. Coatings were tested at 9000PSI to ensure proper bonding to the 3D printed panels, then tensile tested to understand the mechanical properties. A vehicle panel fairing set was design optimized for the 3D printing process and then 3D printed. Additional work optimized coatings and tested additional reinforcements methods such as fiber weave and z-casting with fiber rods and resin. Finally, a full vehicle was constructed and successfully tested in open water by Anduril.

Radial Steering Displacement Method to Measure Dispersion

The measurement of the dispersion function in a transfer line plays the crucial role for the development of an accurate optics model for the beam tracking simulation. In this technical note, we describe an experimental method to measure the dispersion value at multi-wire location MW063 in the NASA Space Radiation Laboratory (NSRL) transfer line. Finally, we use our MADX model to calculate the dispersion function at the same multi-wire location. The ultimate goal of this measurement and calculation is to understand the right value of dispersion function and the beam size (emittance) at the entrance of NSRL beam line.
