This study introduces a novel Graph Neural Network (GNN) architecture that leverages infrared and collinear (IRC) safety and equivariance to enhance the analysis of collider data for Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) discoveries. By integrating equivar... Read More about Equivariant, safe and sensitive — graph networks for new physics.

Speed as an expression and texture of space: Theory at play in a movement activity (2024)
Journal Article
Andrews, G. J., Griffin, M., & Phoenix, C. (online). Speed as an expression and texture of space: Theory at play in a movement activity. Environment and Planning F, https://doi.org/10.1177/26349825241263982

In recent years, following new materialist, posthumanist and non-representational turns, human geography has increasingly understood the worlds it studies as vital, immediate and emergent. As part of this vision, studies have empirically animated and... Read More about Speed as an expression and texture of space: Theory at play in a movement activity.

Dispelling the L myth for the High-Luminosity LHC (2024)
Journal Article
Belvedere, A., Englert, C., Kogler, R., & Spannowsky, M. (2024). Dispelling the L myth for the High-Luminosity LHC. The European Physical Journal C, 84(7), Article 715. https://doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s10052-024-13032-w

Extrapolations of sensitivity to new interactions and standard model parameters critically inform the programme at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and potential future collider cases. To this end, statistical considerations based on inclusive quantit... Read More about Dispelling the L myth for the High-Luminosity LHC.

The interplay of lithology, tectonics and climate in the morphology of Corsica (2024)
Journal Article
Harries, R. M., Lavarini, C., Kirstein, L. A., Attal, M., & Mudd, S. M. (2024). The interplay of lithology, tectonics and climate in the morphology of Corsica. Journal of the Geological Society, 181(5), https://doi.org/10.1144/jgs2024-031

The morphology of the landscape on the island of Corsica in the western Mediterranean Sea is transient with a clear topographic asymmetry. The geology of the island can be divided into two units – Hercynian Corsica and Alpine Corsica – with contrasti...
