The IceCube neutrino observatory uses $1,mathrm{km}^{3}$ of the natural Antarctic ice near the geographic South Pole as optical detection medium. When charged particles, such as particles produced in neutrino interactions, pass through the ice with relativistic speed, Cherenkov light is emitted. This is detected by IceCubes optical modules and from all these signals a particle signature is reconstructed. A new kind of signature can be detected using light emission from luminescence. This detection channel enables searches for exotic particles (states) which do not emit Cherenkov light and currently cannot be probed by neutrino detectors. Luminescence light is induced by highly ionizing particles passing through matter due to excitation of surrounding atoms. This process is highly dependent on the ice structure, impurities, pressure and temperature which demands an in-situ measurement of the detector medium. For the measurements at IceCube, a $1.7,mathrm{km}$ deep hole was used which {vertically} overlaps with the glacial ice layers found in the IceCube volume over a range of $350,mathrm{m}$. The experiment as well as the measurement results are presented. The impact {of the results, which enable new kind of} searches for new physics with neutrino telescopes, are discussed.

Cosmic ray detectors use air as a radiator for luminescence. In water and ice, Cherenkov light is the dominant light producing mechanism when the particles velocity exceeds the Cherenkov threshold, approximately three quarters of the speed of light i
n vacuum. Luminescence is produced by highly ionizing particles passing through matter due to the electronic excitation of the surrounding molecules. The observables of luminescence, such as the wavelength spectrum and decay times, are highly dependent on the properties of the medium, in particular, temperature and purity. The results for the light yield of luminescence of previous measurements vary by two orders of magnitude. It will be shown that even for the lowest measured light yield, luminescence is an important signature of highly ionizing particles below the Cherenkov threshold. These could be magnetic monopoles or other massive and highly ionizing exotic particles. With the highest observed efficiencies, luminescence may even contribute significantly to the light output of standard model particles such as the PeV IceCube neutrinos. We present analysis techniques to use luminescence in neutrino telescopes and discuss experimental setups to measure the light yield of luminescence for the particular conditions in neutrino detectors.
The Physics Beyond Colliders initiative is an exploratory study aimed at exploiting the full scientific potential of the CERNs accelerator complex and scientific infrastructures through projects complementary to the LHC and other possible future coll
iders. These projects will target fundamental physics questions in modern particle physics. This document presents the status of the proposals presented in the framework of the Beyond the Standard Model physics working group, and explore their physics reach and the impact that CERN could have in the next 10-20 years on the international landscape.
There are many recent results from searches for fundamental new physics using the TeVatron, the SLAC b-factory and HERA. This talk quickly reviewed searches for pair-produced stop, for gauge-mediated SUSY breaking, for Higgs bosons in the MSSM and NM
SSM models, for leptoquarks, and v-hadrons. There is a SUSY model which accommodates the recent astrophysical experimental results that suggest that dark matter annihilation is occurring in the center of our galaxy, and a relevant experimental result. Finally, model-independent searches at D0, CDF, and H1 are discussed.
Results of investigations of the near-horizontal muons in the range of zenith angles of 85-95 degrees are presented. In this range, so-called albedo muons (atmospheric muons scattered in the ground into the upper hemisphere) are detected. Albedo muon
s are one of the main sources of the background in neutrino experiments. Experimental data of two series of measurements conducted at the experimental complex NEVOD-DECOR with the duration of about 30 thousand hours live time are analyzed. The results of measurements of the muon flux intensity are compared with simulation results using Monte-Carlo on the basis of two multiple Coulomb scattering models: model of point-like nuclei and model taking into account finite size of nuclei.
The Fermi effective theory of the weak interaction helped identify the structure of the electroweak sector of the Standard Model, and the chiral effective Lagrangian pointed towards QCD as the theory of the strong interactions. The Standard Model Eff
ective Field Theory (SMEFT) is a systematic and model-independent framework for characterizing experimental deviations from the predictions of the Standard Model and pointing towards the structures of its possible extensions that is complementary to direct searches for new physics beyond the Standard Model. This talk summarizes results from the first global fit to data from LHC Run 2 and earlier experiments including dimension-6 SMEFT operators, and gives examples how it can be used to constrain scenarios for new physics beyond the Standard Model. In addition, some windows for probing dimension-8 SMEFT operators are also mentioned.
