Recent measurements of the production of single top quarks in proton–proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of $sqrt{s}!=!13,mathrm{TeV}$ are presented. The analysed data with an integrated luminosity of $36,mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ was recorded using the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Differential cross sections for $tkern-0.08exW$ production were measured, an analysis of the quantum interference between $tkern-0.08exW$ and $tkern-0.04exbar{t}$ production was performed, and evidence for $tZ$ production was found. The results were compared with state-of-the-art theoretical calculations, and no significant deviations from the Standard Model expectations was observed.

In these proceedings we report on the status of the ALICE Time-Of-Flight (TOF) detector. The running performance of the Run 1 (2009-2013) and Run 2 (2015-present) data taking campaigns are compared. The particle identification capabilities of the detector are presented and discussed in the light of the improved detector calibration that allowed to reach a timing resolution of 56 ps.

ATLAS electron and photon triggers covering transverse energies from 5 GeV to several TeV are essential to record signals for a wide variety of physics: from the Standard Model processes to searches for new phenomena. To cope with ever-increasing luminosity and more challenging pile-up conditions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, the trigger selections need to be optimized to control the rates and keep efficiencies high. The ATLAS electron and photon trigger in Run-2 is presented, including new techniques developed to maintain their high performance even in high pile-up conditions as well as the first efficiency measurements from the 2018 data taking.

The standard model conserves lepton flavor and lepton flavor universality although these do not follow from an underlying gauge symmetry. However, the discovery of neutrino oscillations and anomalies observed in B-meson decays indicate violation of lepton flavor and lepton flavor universality, respectively. Various scenarios beyond the standard model have been studied extensively by different experiments at the LHC. This talk presents recent searches for a new Z' boson predicted in the context of lepton flavor violation and lepton flavor universality violation models. The searches use a 13 TeV $pp$ collision data sample, collected by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC.

The CMS experiment implements a sophisticated two-level triggering system composed of Level- 1 (L1), instrumented by custom-design hardware boards, and a software High Level Trigger. A new Level-1 trigger architecture with improved performance is now being used to maintain high physics efficiency for the more challenging luminosity conditions experienced during Run II. The CMS muon detector contains complementary and partially redundant muon detection systems: the Cathode Strip Chambers (CSC), Drift Tubes (DT) and Resistive Plate Chambers (RPC). The upgraded L1 muon trigger combines information from these three detectors to reconstruct muons and obtain a better efficiency and lower rates. Algorithms for the selection of events with muons, both for precision measurements and searches for new physics beyond the Standard Model, are described in detail. The performance of the upgraded muon trigger system will be presented, based on proton-proton collision data collected in 2017.

Neutrino mass generation is needed to explain neutrino oscillations. Several new physics models, such as left-right symmetric models or seesaw mechanisms, offer a solution and motivate searches for heavy bosons or heavy neutral leptons in either opposite-charge or same-charge leptons final states. This contribution discusses the challenging backgrounds for same-charge final states, either due to jets incorrectly identified as leptons or due to mismeasurements of the electron charge. The results presented here use the data collected by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC with a center-of-mass energy of $sqrt{s}=13 $ TeV.

The study of azimuthal correlations of heavy-flavour hadrons with charged particles is an important tool to characterize charm fragmentation processes. It gives insight into the modi- fication of charm-jet properties in nucleus-nucleus collisions and the mechanisms through which heavy quarks in-medium energy-loss takes place. Studies in pp collisions, besides constituting the necessary baseline for nucleus-nucleus measurements, are important for testing pQCD-inspired Monte Carlo generators. In this proceeding, the latest heavy-flavour correlation results at mid- rapidity with the ALICE detector in pp collisions at 13 TeV are reported. The results are compared with pp ps 7 TeV and p-Pb at 5.02 TeV data. The yield of charged particles in the near-side correlation peak and the peak width measured in different systems are compatible, within the uncertainties, and described by Monte Carlo simulations.

The Monopole and Exotics Detector at the LHC (MoEDAL) experiment is an experiment dedicated to searching for beyond standard model (BSM) particles like magnetic monopoles, highly ionizing particles and slow-moving supersymmetric particles. In many ways, this detector complements the BSM searches of ATLAS and CMS. In this document, a brief description of the MoEDAL detector and performance is given. The Large Hadron Collider Forward (LHCf) experiment, on the other hand, is dedicated to measuring the neutral particles produced in the hadronic collision in the very forward region. This document also briefly discusses the LHCf detector and its performance.

A search for new charged massive gauge bosons, called W’, decaying to tb, is performed with the ATLAS detector in the decay channel leading to final states with an electron or muon, 2 or 3 jets, and missing transverse momentum. This search uses a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb-1 of pp collisions produced at the LHC and collected during 2015 and 2016. The data is found to be consistent with the Standard Model expectation. Therefore limits are set on the W ′ → tb cross section times branching ratio and on the W ′ boson effective couplings as a function of the W ′ boson mass.
