Results from the Dijet Resonance Search using data from 2016 Data running with integrated luminosity 36$fb^{-1}$ will be shown, with emphasis on narrow resonances, for resonance masses above 1.6 TeV and a variety of new physics models used for the interpretation of the experimental results. The traditional method of estimating the QCD background is used, employing a parametrization for the background and an empirical fit of the data in the signal region.

During 2017, the Large Hadron Collider provided record-breaking integrated and instantaneous luminosities, resulting in huge amounts of data with the number of interactions per bunch crossing being significantly beyond design values. I discuss the track reconstruction performance with the ATLAS detector in high-multiplicity data. I also discuss the expected tracking performance in even higher multiplicity environments in future data-taking at the high-luminosity LHC.

The High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) will integrate 10 times more luminosity than the LHC, posing significant challenges for radiation tolerance and event pileup on detectors. As part of their HL-LHC upgrade program, the ATLAS and CMS collaborations are replacing the electronics of their calorimeters that provide higher granularity for the level-1 trigger and better measurements of the time of arrival of particles. The CMS collaboration is also designing a High Granularity Calorimeter to replace the existing endcap calorimeters. It features unprecedented transverse and longitudinal segmentation for both electromagnetic and hadronic compartments. This will facilitate particle-flow calorimetry, where the fine structure of showers can be measured and used to enhance pileup rejection and particle identification. In addition, a new dimension in the event reconstruction will be provided by thin timing detectors built between the inner trackers and the calorimeters of both ATLAS and CMS. They will measure the time of arrival of charged tracks with a resolution of $30$ to $40, textrm{ps}$ and help reducing the pileup density in space-time down to the level of the Phase 1.

Leptoquarks (LQ) with couplings to the third generation of Standard Model (SM) quarks have been proposed as possible explanations of the flavour anomalies indicating the violation of lepton flavour universality (LFV). The CMS collaboration has initiated an extensive search programme for these new states in the LHC run-2 data recorded at $sqrt{s}=13$ TeV. In this article, the CMS search results in the LQ pair-production final states $tau b,tau b$, $nu t,nu t$, $nu b,nu b$, $tau t,tau t$, and $mu t,mu t$, as well as in the LQ single-production final state $tau,tau b$ are discussed. No significant deviation from the SM is observed in any of these channels. For a broad range of LQ decay modes, exclusion limits on the LQ masses are determined at 95% confidence level reaching from 1.0 TeV to 1.8 TeV.

The H $to$ ZZ $to$ 4$ell$ decay channel ($ell = e, mu$) is one of the most important channels for studies of properties of the Higgs boson since it has a large signal-to-background ratio due to the complete reconstruction of the final state decay objects and excellent lepton momentum resolution. Measurements performed using this decay channel and Run 1 data include, among others, the determination of the mass, spin-parity, and width of the new boson as well as tests for anomalous HVV couplings. This analysis presents measurements of properties of the Higgs boson in the H $to$ ZZ $to$ 4$ell$ decay channel at the $sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV using 41.8 fb$^{-1}$ of pp collision data collected with the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2017. In the previous iteration, categories have been introduced targeting sub-leading production modes of the Higgs boson such as vector boson fusion (VBF) and associated production with a vector boson (WH, ZH) or top quark pair (t$bar{textrm{t}}$H). Apart from a larger dataset used, the main improvements in this analysis are newly optimised lepton selection, featuring in particular the usage of a new multivariate discriminant for electrons, and improved categorisation, especially optimised towards the associated production with a top quark.

Important analyses of the core LHCb physics program rely on calorimetry to identify photons, high-energy neutral pions and electrons. For this purpose, the LHCb calorimeter system is composed of a scintillating pad plane, a preshower detector, an electromagnetic and a hadronic sampling calorimeters. The interaction of a given particle in these detectors leaves a specific signature. This is exploited for particle identification (PID) by combining calorimeters and tracking information into multivariate classifiers. In this contribution, we focus on the identification of photons against high-energy neutral pions, electrons and hadronic backgrounds. Neutral particles reconstruction process at LHCb is succinctly explained and PID performances on Run 1 data is shown. Discrepancies with simulation predictions are then discussed, with special emphasis on the methods to correctly estimate PID cut efficiencies by means of large calibration samples of abundant beauty and charm decays to final states with photons or neutral pions. Finally, the technical aspects of the collection of these samples in Run 2 are presented.

The LHCb experiment offers a complementary phase space to ATLAS and CMS to study electroweak processes, thanks to the forward acceptance and the large bandwidth of the trigger allowing low energy thresholds. For this reason electroweak measurements at LHCb can provide unique constraints to the Parton Distribution Functions. In these proceedings the latest measurements on $W$ and $Z$ bosons production performed during the LHC Run I and Run II data taking are presented.
