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 generators are compared to the data.

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.
The ATLAS and CMS detectors can be used to search for heavy long-lived particles which might signal physics beyond the Standard Model. Such new states can be distinguished from Standard Model particles by exploiting their unique signatures, ranging from multi-leptons and/or jets pro- duction anywhere within the detector volume, to minimum ionizing particles with low velocity and high momentum. Here are reviewed the strategies proposed by ATLAS and CMS to search for these signals, with particular emphasis on possible challenges to the trigger and detector operations.
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.

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.

Future developments are anticipated with extra focus on exclusive searches in electroweak and third-generation supersymmetry production.
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.

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.
Muonic final states will provide clean signatures formany physics processes at the LHC. The two LHC experiments ATLAS and CMS will be able to identify muons with a high reconstruction efficiency above 96% and a high transverse momentum resolution better than 2% for transverse momenta below 400 GeV/c and about 10% at 1 TeV/c. The two experiments follow complentary concepts of muon detection. ATLAS has an instrumented air-toroid mangetic system serving as a stand-alone muon spectrometer. CMS relies on high bending power and momentum resolution in the inner detector, and uses an iron yoke to incr…

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.
Model (BSM). ATLAS and CMS concentrate on B decays that can be registered by a di-muon signature. B-hadrons decaying to J/psi(mumu) will statistically dominate B-physics analyses allowing high precision measurements, in particular a test of BSM effects in the CP violation of Bs-Jpsiphi. In the so-called rare B-decay sector, ATLAS and CMS will concentrate on a family of semi-muonic exclusive channels, b - s mumu and on the purely muonic decay Bs - mumu. After three years of LHC running at a luminosity of a few times 1033 cm-2 s-1 (corresponding to 30 fb-1), each of these two experiments can mea…
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.
In January 2007 the CERN director general announced the plan for the staged upgrade of the LHC luminosity. The plan foresees a phase 1 upgrade reaching a peak luminosity of $3 \times 10^{34}$ cm$^{-2}$s$^{-1}$ followed by phase reaching up to $ 10^{35}$ cm$^{-2}$s$^{-1}$. We discuss the physics potential and the experimental challenges of an upgraded LHC running. The detector R&D needed to operate ATLAS and CMS in a very high radiation environment and the expected detector performance are also discussed.
