The determination of fundamental parameters in low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) typically relies on measuring the radial velocity curve of the companion star through optical or near-infrared spectroscopy. It was recently suggested that high resolution X-ray spectroscopy might enable a measurement of the radial velocity curve of the compact object by

Measurements of Higgs boson properties in the H → γγ decay channel are reported. The analysis is based on data collected by the CMS experiment in proton-proton collisions at √{s}=13 TeV during the 2016 LHC running period, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb-1. Allowing the Higgs mass to float, the measurement yields a signal

The mass of the top quark is measured using a sample of {{ {t}}\overline{{ {t}}}} events collected by the CMS detector using proton-proton collisions at √{s}=13 {TeV} at the CERN LHC. Events are selected with one isolated muon or electron and at least four jets from data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 {fb}^{-1}. For each event

The production of a { {Z}} boson, decaying to two charged leptons, in association with jets in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 {TeV} is measured. Data recorded with the CMS detector at the LHC are used that correspond to an integrated luminosity of 2.19 {fb}^ {-1}. The cross section is measured as a function of the jet

A search for tau neutrino induced showers with the MAGIC telescopes is presented. The MAGIC telescopes located at an altitude of 2200 m a.s.l. in the Canary Island of La Palma, can point towards the horizon or a few degrees below across an azimuthal range of about 80°. This provides a possibility to search for air showers induced by tau leptons

We present the discovery and confirmation of two new transiting giant planets from the Kepler extended mission K2. K2-260 b is a hot Jupiter transiting a V = 12.7 F6V star in K2 Field 13, with a mass and radius of M⋆ = 1.39_{-0.06}^{+0.05} M_{⊙} and R⋆ = 1.69 ± 0.03 R_{⊙}. The planet has an orbital period of P = 2.627 d, and a mass and radius of M
