These proceedings highlight a selection of recent ATLAS and CMS measurements which target either the production of a single top quark or the associated production of a top-antitop quark pair together with a $W$ boson, a $Z$ boson, or a photon ($γ$). The highlighted analyses are based predominantly on proton-proton collision data collected by the two experiments during Run 2 of the LHC at a centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV with datasets corresponding to integrated luminosities of up to 77.5 fb$^{-1}$. One combination of ATLAS and CMS single top quark measurements employing the full Run 1 dataset based on $\sqrt{s}=7,8$ TeV is also included. Such measurements probe the Standard Model couplings of top quarks to gauge bosons and offer sensitivity to a number of anomalous non-Standard-Model effects.

The potential for top quark physics of the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the Large Hadron Collider is surveyed ranging from top quark "re-discovery" and its use as a calibration tool to initial and later stage measurements.
Recent results on top quark modelling and tuning are presented. In particular, the focus of this talk is on the studies on the definition and commissioning of the common Monte Carlo effort carried out by ATLAS and CMS within the LHCtopWG. An overview of current recommendations for modelling uncertainties is also presented.
Latest results on inclusive top-quark pair production cross-sections are presented using collision data collected by ATLAS and CMS experiments at the LHC. Inclusive and differential measurements of top-quark pair production cross-sections from ATLAS and CMS are presented in the resolved and boosted kinematic regions. The cross-sections are measured as a function of various kinematic observables of the top quarks, the jets and leptons of the event final state.
Leptons will play a key role in the first measurements performed by the LHC experiments. The ATLAS and CMS detectors are now built, and early estimates of their performances have been revisited. The expected first physics signals are described: they will shed light on the level of detector understanding and allow a control of the systematics uncertainties, opening the road to new and precision physics.
Searches for resonances in final states with leptons and photons have always been a powerful tool for discovery in high energy physics. We present here the latest results from the ATLAS and CMS experiments, based on up to 36.1 fb$^{-1}$ of 13 TeV proton-proton collisions produced at the Large Hadron Collider. Detailed results on single lepton, dilepton, diphoton and Z$γ$ resonances are included.
The capabilities of the ATLAS, CMS and LHCb detectors to reconstruct jets at forward rapidities (|η|> 3) in p-p collisions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider are reviewed. The QCD and Higgs physics motivations for such measurements are summarised. Details are given on studies that provide information on the parton structure and evolution at small values of fractional momenta in the proton.
Recent results on heavy flavor physics using data from the ATLAS and CMS detectors are presented. The searches for new physics signatures in CP violation of B0_s - anti(B0_s) mixing and in B0_d --> K*0 mu+ mu- decays are discussed. The bottomonium and open-b production results obtained from proton-proton collisions at LHC are shown. The results are based on data samples containing mu+ mu- pairs collected with the ATLAS or CMS detectors by their corresponding muon trigger systems.
Thanks to the excellent performances of ATLAS and CMS in triggering on muon signals and reconstructing these particles down to low transverse momentum, large samples of heavy-flavored hadrons have been collected in the 2011 LHC run at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV. The analysis of these samples has enabled both experiments to perform competitive measurements of heavy-flavor properties, such as quarkonium polarization, lifetime and CP-violation measurements, hadron spectroscopy and branching ratios of rare B decays.
We present heavy flavor measurements performed by the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations with data collected at the Large Hadron Collider. The production mechanism of heavy flavor hadrons is discussed as well as lifetime measurements and searches for the rare decay Bs->mumu. The large available statistics of about 5 fb-1 per experiment collected during the year 2011 together with the excellent detector performance allows to perform competitive heavy flavor measurements.
Selected results from searches for new physics with unconventional signatures using the ATLAS and CMS detectors are presented. Such signatures include emerging jets, heavy charged particles, displaced or delayed objects, and disappearing tracks. These signatures may arise from hidden sectors or supersymmetric models. The searches use proton-proton collision data from Run 2 of the LHC with a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV.
Highlights are presented of current searches for supersymmetry produced in proton-proton collisions at the LHC, operating at sqrt(s)=7TeV. Searches with missing transverse energy are summarized from both the ATLAS and CMS experiments. A wide range of final states is covered, including recent searches with photons, leptons, and purely hadronic final states. Future developments are anticipated with extra focus on exclusive searches in electroweak and third-generation supersymmetry production.
The production of top quarks through single or rare production modes has become important due to the large amount of data collected by both ATLAS and CMS at the LHC. Many searches are now studying these processes either as a targeted signal or as an important source of background. This document reviews the Monte Carlo simulations used to model these processes in ATLAS and CMS, and how the modeling systematic uncertainties are estimated. Many analyses have also recently released a large variety of unfolded distributions. These distributions are shown and the modeling from various Monte Carlo ge…
We present recent measurements of the top quark mass by the ATLAS and CMS experiments in the $\mathrm{t}\overline{\mathrm{t}}$ lepton+jets, all-hadronic, and dilepton channels. In addition, we present a measurement using a topology enriched in t-channel single top events. The analyses include observables whose sensitivity to the top mass is calibrated using Monte Carlo simulation before they are utilized to extract the value of $\mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{t}}$ in data. The measurements outlined here enter into recent combinations by ATLAS and CMS that yield a sub-GeV precision on the top mass.

The production of single top quarks allows to study the interplay of top quark physics and the electroweak sector of the standard model. Deviations from predictions can be a hint for physics beyond the standard model. The t-channel is the dominant production mode for single top quarks at the LHC. This talk presents the latest measurements from the ATLAS and CMS collaborations.
The ATLAS and CMS Collaborations have performed a variety of measurements of the top quark mass, taking advantage of the abundant production of top quarks at the LHC. The most recent measurements are reported here, based on data collected at 8 and 13 TeV, with particular emphasis on the distinction between the so-called "direct" measurements and the "indirect" evaluations obtained from cross sections and differential cross sections.
Recent inclusive and differential cross section measurements of the associated production of top quark pairs with gauge bosons or heavy-flavor jets are reported. A search for physics beyond the standard model in the top quark sector is also presented. All measurements are based on data samples of proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV collected by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the CERN LHC. No significant deviation from the standard model predictions is observed.
Top quarks are produced copiously at the LHC, and a variety of related measurements has been made in the recent years by the two collaborations ATLAS and CMS. The most recent measurements of the top quark mass by the two collaborations are reported here. The top quark mass has been measured with a relative uncertainty smaller than 0.3%, making the top quark the most accurately measured quark.
The latest results of high mass searches for new physics in a variety of final states from the CMS and ATLAS collaborations are presented. These searches are based on $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV proton-proton collisions data at the LHC collected in the year 2016 and 2015. No excess above expectation from Standard Model processes are observed and exclusion limits are set at the 95% confidence level on various benchmark models.
Energetic primary cosmic rays entering the Earth's atmosphere generate flux of secondary particles including neutrinos. Muon neutrinos passed through the Earth and produced muons via the charged current reaction can be registered by experimental setups intended for the measurements with colliding beams. Due to large geometrical size and advanced muon detecting system such detectors as ATLAS and CMS on LHC have chance to contribute also into the neutrino physics. The estimation of possible rates of up-going muons produced by neutrinos is given.
The top-quark mass measurements carried out by the LHC experiments, ATLAS and CMS, are summarized. Results of different approaches to the top-quark mass reconstruction are presented. Masses from different measurements are in good agreement within uncertainties. Precision of the measurements with the directly measured top-quark mass is now better than 0.5%. Progress in determination of the top-quark pole mass is reported and the relation between the directly measured top-quark mass and top-quark pole mass is discussed.
Events containing a pair of high energy hadronic jet can provide clear signatures in the search for new physics at high energy hadron colliders. The ATLAS and CMS experiments collected the data from LHC collisions at $\sqrt{s}$= 13 TeV during 2015 and 2016, looking for evidence of new resonances or deviations from the Standard Model predictions. Althoug no hint of new physics was seen, strong limits have been set on the most interesting benchmark models, improving LHC Run1 reach.
Analyses of single top-quark production via $tW$ production, via $tZq$ production, and in the $s$-channel are presented, showing the scope of recent ATLAS and CMS analyses of $pp$ collisions produced at the LHC at $\sqrt{s}=7,8$, and ${13}\,\text{TeV}$. Cross-section values and signal significance estimates are established, confirming good agreement with the most precise available fixed-order calculations for each production mode.
The rare decays $B_{s,d}^0 \to μ^+μ^-$ are important probes for new physics beyond the Standard Model. These decays are subjects of studies at the LHC. The ATLAS and CMS collaborations have analyzed the proton-proton collisions data at 7 TeV centre-of-mass energy collected in the year 2011. They have established upper limits on the branching fractions of the two decays. This paper presents a report.
The phase $Φ_s$ is the key parameter for the CP-violation of the $B^0_s$-$\bar{B^0_s}$ system. An angular and proper decay time analysis is applied to the $B^0_s \rightarrow J/ψΦ$ events. Using a data sample collected by the CMS and ATLAS experiments in LHC Run1, the $B^0_s$ signal candidates are reconstructed and are used to extract the phase $Φ_s$. We present the latest update on the results in this decay channel.
These proceedings report on lepton and photon performance results obtained using data recorded in 2015 and 2016 at the LHC by the two experiments ATLAS and CMS. For each particle (electrons, photons and muons), the reconstruction and identification efficiencies are presented for the two experiments together with the isolation studies. Results concerning the electron and photon energy calibration as well as the muon momentum scale and resolution are also reported. Despite more challenging pile-up conditions with respect to Run 1, the two experiments achieved impressive performance in early Run …

The studies included are based on LHC collisions at ps = 7 TeV, recorded during 2010 and 2011.
The ATLAS and CMS Collaborations have measured properties of minimum bias events and have determined characteristics of the underlying event in proton-proton collisions at three LHC centre-of-mass energies. Comparisons to common phenomenological models and partially to other experiments have been made. The production of the strange particles K0s, Lambda and Xi is discussed. Particle correlation studies, in particular Bose-Einstein as well as long- and short-range angular correlations in proton-proton and lead ion events are explained.
An overview of recent searches with top quarks in the final state using up to 36 fb$^{-1}$ of pp collision data at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV collected with the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the LHC is presented. In particular, searches for heavy resonances decaying into third generation quarks, searches for production of vector-like quarks and searches for dark-matter produced in association with top quarks are summarised. No significant excess over the SM prediction is found and 95% CL exclusion limits are set in a variety of models.
Several electroweak precision measurements are performed by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations at the LHC. The main ones are carried out using Drell-Yan production of single W and Z boson. They regard the measurement of the production cross sections of W and Z bosons, the mass of the W boson, and $\sin^2θ_W$. The results of the $\sin^2θ_W$ measurements have an accuracy of approximately twice that reached at LEP and SLD. Other measurements reported are about the Drell-Yan differential production cross section.
An overview of the boosted top production analyses using data collected by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at $\sqrt{s}=$ 8 TeV and 13 TeV of proton-proton collisions at the LHC is presented. These analyses use techniques for the reconstruction of boosted objects to measure the production of top quarks at high transverse momenta. The measurements are optimized for the different final states and for different ranges of the transverse momenta of the particles involved, improving on measurements with traditional objects reconstruction based on the combination of resolved objects.
Searches for high-mass resonances decaying to pairs of standard model bosons using ATLAS and CMS detectors are presented. The searches use 15 - 36 $\textrm{fb}^{-1}$ of proton-proton collision data collected at the centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV at the LHC. Many different final states have been considered and the results are interpreted in a range of theories beyond the standard model of particle physics, most common being heavy vector triplet and warped extra dimensions.
