Article Abstract
ATOMKI nuclear anomaly has suggested a new BSM (beyond the standard model) boson with mass ∼17 MeV emitted from excited nuclei and quickly decays into a pair of e^{+}e^{-}. In order to search for the new particle, we propose a new approach that utilizes the ongoing coherent CAPTAIN-Mills (CCM) ten-ton LAr (liquid argon) detectors. The neutrons from the Lujan target can scatter inelastically, but the PMT glass in the CCM detector can produce the new boson which solves the ATOMKI anomaly. The new boson can be detected from its decay to a e^{+}e^{-} pair. We find that CCM probes a large area of the anomaly-allowable parameter space. We also show the prediction for a 100-ton LAr detector and five-ton EOS water detector.

We propose a direct search for the X17 particle, which was conjectured to explain the ATOMKI ^{8}Be and ^{4}He anomalies, through the dilepton photoproduction process on a nucleon in the photon energy range below or around the pion production threshold. For the scenarios of either pseudoscalar, vector, or axial-vector quantum numbers of the conjectured X17, we use existing constraints to estimate the X17 signal process. For dilepton invariant mass resolutions which have been achieved in previous experiments, a signal-to-background ratio of up to an order of magnitude is found for a neutron target, and, in particular, for the pseudoscalar and vector X17 scenarios.

Results of the Model Unspecific Search in CMS (MUSiC), using proton-proton collision data recorded at the LHC at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 , corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 , are presented. The MUSiC analysis searches for anomalies that could be signatures of physics beyond the standard model.

Purpose: The recent rapid increase of hadron therapy applications requires the development of high performance, reliable in vivo models for preclinical research on the biological effects of high linear energy transfer (LET) particle radiation.
Aim: The aim of this paper was to test the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of the zebrafish embryo system at two neutron facilities.
Material And Methods: Series of viable zebrafish embryos at 24-hour post-fertilization (hpf) were exposed to single fraction, whole-body, photon and neutron (reactor fission neutrons (

Stringent limits are set on the long-lived lepton-like sector of the phenomenological minimal supersymmetric standard model (pMSSM) and the anomaly-mediated supersymmetry breaking (AMSB) model. The limits are derived from the results presented in a recent search for long-lived charged particles in proton-proton collisions, based on data collected by the CMS detector at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV at the Large Hadron Collider. In the pMSSM parameter sub-space considered, 95.
