The ATLAS muon spectrometer comprises excellent muon trigger capabilities and high muon momentum resolution up to the TeV scale. Yet, in a small region between the barrel and end-cap parts of the muon spectrometer, a non-negligible muon trigger rate from charged particles not emerging from the pp interaction point has been observed. To prevent such fake triggers, the end of the inner ring of the muon spectrometer barrel in the barrel end-cap transition region, which is currently not equipped with trigger chambers, will be instrumented with resistive plate chambers (RPCs) in the next long shutdown of the LHC in 2019 and 2020. As the space in this region is extremely limited the present muon drift-tube chambers will have to be removed and replaced by an integrated system of thin-gap RPCs and small diameter muon drift-tube (sMDT) chambers. Final prototypes of both chambers have been successfully produced recently fulfilling all very tight spatial requirements and showing the expected performance. Results of mechanical measurements of the sMDT chamber geometry with a coordinate measurement machine show a wire positioning accuracy of better than $10$ µm. The tests of the thin-gap RPC in a high-energy muon beam at CERN show full chamber efficiency and an unprecedented time resolution better than $0.5$ ns. In the conference contribution the design, construction, and tests of the new sMDT and RPC chambers, as well as the progress of series production, will be presented.

In this talk the recent progress in theoretical developments for single top production and top pair production in association with heavy vector bosons is reviewed. For top pair associated production, particular emphasis is put on complete-NLO predecitions, i.e.~predictions including all LO and NLO contributions in an expansion in both the strong and the electroweak couplings. For single-top production the three most relevant results that appeared this year are summarized.

Studies of soft particle production play an important role in understanding the physics of heavy-ion collisions. Measurements of hadron yields are well described by grand-canonical thermal models in heavy-ion collisions, while an enhancement of strangeness production is observed in smaller collision systems. Several species of hadronic resonances are observed to be suppressed in central nucleus-nucleus collisions, likely due to scattering effects in the hadronic phase. The production mechanisms of nuclei can be studied through measurements of their yields, flow, and coalescence parameters. Hadron transverse-momentum spectra can be shaped by various effects, including radial flow and recombination; studies of the pT spectra of identified hadrons with different masses and quark content can help to gauge the importance of such effects for different system sizes. Recent measurements by the ALICE Collaboration related to these topics will be presented for a wide range of system sizes in pp, p–Pb, Pb–Pb, and Xe–Xe collisions at LHC energies.

In the upcoming upgrades for Run 3 and 4, the LHC will significantly increase Pb-Pb and pp interaction rates. This goes along with upgrades of all experiments, ALICE, ATLAS, CMS, and LHCb, related to both the detectors and the computing. The online processing farms must employ faster, more efficient reconstruction algorithms to cope with the increased data rates and data compression factors must increase to fit the data in the affordable capacity for permanent storage. Due to different operating conditions and aims, the experiments follow different approaches, but there are several common trends like more extensive online computing and the adoption of hardware accelerators. This paper gives an overview and compares the data processing approaches and the online computing farms of the LHC experiments today in Run 2 and for the upcoming LHC Run 3 and 4.

Hard probes - final state particles related to an interaction with large momentum transfer or mass scale - play a distinguished role in the discovery and the study of the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP), a phase of deconfined quarks and gluons reached at high temperatures in heavy ion collisions. In heavy ion collisions, parton scatterings with a large momentum transfer ($1/Q ll 1$ fm/$c$) occur prior to QGP formation and thus provide a source of coloured probe particles for the QGP created in the later stage of the reaction. The hard scattered partons and the subsequent parton shower interact strongly with the QGP and its constituents via elastic and radiative processes before hadronization into jets of observable particles. Thus, the comparison to jet and high-$p_T$ observables in pp (vacuum) potentially probes their modification due to medium effects. One of the key observables in the discovery and investigation of these jet modifications has been the nuclear modification factor $R_{AA}$, for which new results on charged particle production in different colliding systems are presented and the question of apparant suppression in peripheral Pb-Pb collisions is addressed. Fore more differential studies of the jet sub-structure and hence the parton shower evolution in the medium, recent results on jet grooming in heavy ion colisions are presented.

The CMS experiment implements a sophisticated two-level triggering system composed of the Level-1, 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 conditions experienced during Run II. The upgraded trigger benefits from an enhanced granularity of the calorimeters to optimally reconstruct electromagnetic objects. The performance of the new trigger system is presented, based on proton-proton collision data collected in 2017. We highlight the performance of the upgraded CMS electron and photon trigger in the context of Higgs boson decays into final states with photons and electrons. The selection techniques used to trigger efficiently on these benchmark analyses are presented, along with the strategies employed to guarantee efficient triggering for new resonances and other new physics signals involving electron and photon final states.

The $W$ boson is a short lived particle which does not interact strongly. Thus its production rate measured in lepton decay channels can be compared between lead-lead and proton-proton collisions as a direct test of both binary collision scaling and the possible modification of parton distribution functions due to nuclear effects (nPDF). In Run 2 the ATLAS experiment has recorded 0.49 nb$^{-1}$ of lead-lead collision data at the center-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV. The available $W$ boson sample is increased by a factor of eight relative to the Run 1 data sample collected at 2.76 TeV. This study presents $W^+$ and $W^-$ boson production yields measured differentially in lepton pseudorapidity and as a function of centrality.
