A search is made for potential cccover ¯cover ¯ tetraquarks decaying into a pair of charmonium states in the four muon final state using proton-proton collision data at sqrts=13 TeV, corresponding ...to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb^{-1} recorded by the ATLAS experiment at LHC. Two decay channels, J/ψ+J/ψ→4μ and J/ψ+ψ(2S)→4μ, are studied. Backgrounds are estimated based on a hybrid approach involving Monte Carlo simulations and data-driven methods. Statistically significant excesses with respect to backgrounds dominated by the single parton scattering are seen in the di-J/ψ channel consistent with a narrow resonance at 6.9 GeV and a broader structure at lower mass. A statistically significant excess is also seen in the J/ψ+ψ(2S) channel. The fitted masses and decay widths of the structures are reported.

events. The value of the measured cross section in the center-of-mass energy range from 1.894 to 2 GeV varies from 0.5 to 0.35 nb. The effective neutron timelike form factor is derived from the measured cross section and compared with the proton form factor. The ratio of the neutron electric and magnetic form factors is obtained from the analysis of the antineutron polar angle distribution and found to be consistent with unity.
The process
is studied in the range of center-of-mass (c.m.) collision energies between 1.05 and 2.00 GeV on the basis of data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 94.5 pb
that were ...accumulated in an experiment with the SND detector at the VEPP-2000
collider. The cross section for this process was measured for the first time and was found to receive a dominant contribution from the mechanism of a transition through an
intermediate state. The cross section measured for the process
agrees with the results of earlier measurements in the channel
. At a level of 5.7 standard deviations (5.7
), it is established that the process
is not fully described by hadronic intermediate states of the
type. The cross section was measured for this missing contribution, which may be generated by radiative processes—for example,
. It ranges from 15 to 20 pb over a broad energy interval extending from 1.3 to 1.9 GeV.
The process
was studied in the energy range between 1 and 2 GeV to the best precision in the world. The data used correspond to an integrated luminosity of
accumulated with the SND detector at the ...VEPP-2000
collider. The statistical accuracy of the measured cross section is 2 to 22
, whereas the systematic uncertainty is 2.6 to 14
. The present results agree with the results of earlier measurements but have a better precision.

Using the SND detector, the process
was studied in the energy range between 1.05 and 2.00 GeV. The respective measurement was performed on the basis of data accumulated in the experiments at the ...VEPP-2000 electron–positron collider throughout the runs of 2011 and 2012. Also, the invariant-mass spectra of the
and
combinations were analyzed in the energy range between 1.15 and 2 GeV. This resulted in finding an indication that the
excited state decayed predominantly through the
intermediate state.
In the experiment with the SND detector at the VEPP-2000
collider, events of the process
were separated via measuring, in each counter of the multichannel calorimeter based on 1640 NaI(Tl) crystals, ...the time of delay of the signal from nonrelativistic antineutrons. The time resolution for events of the process
was 0.8 ns. The measured time spectrum of delays of the signal from antineutrons in the calorimeter at the c.m. energy of 1902 MeV agrees with the results of calculations.
Searches for new resonances are performed using an unsupervised anomaly-detection technique. Events with at least one electron or muon are selected from 140 fb-1 of pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ =13 ...TeV recorded by ATLAS at the Large Hadron Collider. The approach involves training an autoencoder on data, and subsequently defining anomalous regions based on the reconstruction loss of the decoder. Studies focus on nine invariant mass spectra that contain pairs of objects consisting of one light jet or b jet and either one lepton (e,μ), photon, or second light jet or b jet in the anomalous regions. No significant deviations from the background hypotheses are observed. Limits on contributions from generic Gaussian signals with various widths of the resonance mass are obtained for nine invariant masses in the anomalous regions.

Results are presented from measuring the
cross section and effective neutron timelike form factor. Data are collected in 2020–2021 at the VEPP-2000
collider in the 1891 to 2007 MeV center-of-mass ...range of energies. The general purpose nonmagnetic SND detector is used to detect neutron–antineutron events. The time-of-flight approach is used to select
events. The measured cross section is 0.4–0.6 nbn. The neutron form factor in the investigated range of energies varies from 0.3 to 0.2.
