A search for flavour-changing neutral currents (FCNC) processes in proton-proton ($pp$) collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is presented. The analysed data collected during the years of 2015 and 2016 corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb$^{-1}$. A search considering top-quark pair-production events is performed, with one top-quark decaying through the dominant Standard Model (SM) mode $t$ $to$ $Wb$, and the other through the $t$ $to$ $qZ$ ($q$=$u$,$c$) FCNC channel. The data are consistent with the SM expectation and the observed and expected upper limits on the branching ratio of $t$ $to$ $uZ$ and $t$ $to$ $cZ$ are set at 95% confidence level representing an improvement of about a factor 3 compared with the Run-1 data results from the ATLAS Collaboration.

The production cross-sections of $Upsilon(1S)$, $Upsilon(2S)$ and $Upsilon(3S)$ mesons in proton-proton collisions at $sqrt{s}$= 13 TeV are measured with a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $277 pm 11$ $rm pb^{-1}$ recorded by the LHCb experiment in 2015. The $Upsilon$ mesons are reconstructed in the decay mode $Upsilontomu^{+}mu^{-}$. The differential production cross-sections times the dimuon branching fractions are measured as a function of the $Upsilon$ transverse momentum, $p_{rm T}$, and rapidity, $y$, over the range $0 < p_{rm T}< 30$ GeV/c and $2.0 < y < 4.5$. The ratios of the cross-sections with respect to the LHCb measurement at $sqrt{s}$= 8 TeV are also determined. The measurements are compared with theoretical predictions based on NRQCD.
We report on a search for elementary particles with charges much smaller than the electron charge using a data sample of proton-proton collisions provided by the CERN Large Hadron Collider in 2018, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 37.5 fb$^{-1}$ at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. A prototype scintillator-based detector is deployed to conduct the first search at a hadron collider sensitive to particles with charges ${leq}0.1e$. The existence of new particles with masses between 20 and 4700 MeV is excluded at 95% confidence level for charges between $0.006e$ and $0.3e$, depending on their mass. New sensitivity is achieved for masses larger than $700$ MeV.
The production of $mathit{Xi}_{cc}^{++}$ baryons in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of $sqrt{s}=13$ TeV is measured in the transverse-momentum range $4<p_mathrm{T}<15~mathrm{GeV}$/$c$ and the rapidity range $2.0<y<4.5$. The data used in this measurement correspond to an integrated luminosity of 1.7 $mathrm{fb}^{-1}$, recorded by the LHCb experiment during 2016. The ratio of the $mathit{Xi}_{cc}^{++}$ production cross-section times the branching fraction of the $mathit{Xi_{cc}^{++} to Lambda_{c}^{+} K^- pi^+ pi^+}$ decay relative to the prompt $mathit{Lambda_c^{+}}$ production cross-section is found to be $(2.22pm 0.27 pm 0.29)times 10^{-4}$, assuming the central value of the measured $mathit{Xi_{cc}^{++}}$ lifetime, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic.
Proton-proton (pp) collisions have been used extensively as a reference for the study of interactions of larger colliding systems at the LHC. Recent measurements performed in high-multiplicity pp and proton-lead (p-Pb) collisions have shown features that are reminiscent of those observed in lead-lead (Pb-Pb) collisions. In this context, the study of identified particle spectra and yields as a function of multiplicity is a key tool for the understanding of similarities and differences between small and large systems. We report on the production of pions, kaons, protons, $K^{0}_{rm S}$, $Lambda$, $Xi$, $Omega$ and $K^{*0}$ as a function of multiplicity in pp collisions at $sqrt{s}=$ 7 TeV measured with the ALICE experiment. The work presented here represents the most comprehensive set of results on identified particle production in pp collisions at the LHC. Spectral shapes, studied both for individual particles and via particle ratios as a function of $p_{rm T}$, exhibit an evolution with charged particle multiplicity that is similar to the one observed in larger systems. In addition, results on the production of light flavour hadrons in pp collisions at $sqrt{s}=$ 13 TeV, the highest centre-of-mass energy ever reached in the laboratory, are also presented and compared with previous, lower energy results.
Recent measurements of charm-baryon production in proton--proton (pp) collisions at midrapidity by the ALICE collaboration showed that baryon-to-meson yield ratios are significantly higher than those measured in $rm e^+e^-$ collisions. The charm baryon-to-meson and charm baryon-to-baryon yield ratios provide unique information on hadronization mechanisms since the contributions from parton distribution function and parton--parton scattering terms cancel in the ratios. In this contribution, the first measurement of $rm Omega_{c}^{0}$ production via the hadronic decay channel $rm Omega_{c}^{0} rightarrow Omega^{-}pi^{+}$ (and its charge conjugate) in $2<p_{rm T}<12$ GeV/$c$ performed with the ALICE detector at midrapidity in pp collisions at $sqrt{s}=$ 13 TeV is presented. The $rm Omega_c^0/D^0$ and $rm Omega_c^0/Xi_c^0$ ratios multiplied by the decay branching ratio $rm BR(Omega_{c}^{0} rightarrow Omega^{-}pi^+)$, which is not experimentally measured, are compared to MC generators with fragmentation fractions based on $rm e^+e^-$ measurements and models including hadronization of charm quark via coalescence.
