 Anisotropic flow of charged particles in Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 5.02 TeV / ALICE Collaboration We report the first results of elliptic ($v_2$), triangular ($v_3$) and quadrangular flow ($v_4$) of charged particles in Pb--Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{\rm NN}}}=$ 5.02 TeV with the ALICE detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The measurements are performed in the central pseudorapidity region $|\eta| <$ 0.8 and for the transverse momentum range 0.2 $< p_{\rm T} <$ 5 GeV/$c$.

 Observation of the $B_s^0 \rightarrow J/\psi \phi \phi$ decay / LHCb collaboration The $B_s^0 \rightarrow J/\psi \phi \phi$ decay is observed in $pp$ collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb$^{-1}$ recorded by the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies of 7 TeV and 8 TeV. This is the first observation of this decay channel, with a statistical significance of 15 standard deviations.

 Study of $D^{(*)+}_{sJ}$ mesons decaying to $D^{*+} K^0_{\rm S}$ and $D^{*0} K^+$ final states / LHCb collaboration A search is performed for $D^{(*)+}_{sJ}$ mesons in the reactions $pp \to D^{*+} K^0_{\rm S} X$ and $pp \to D^{*0} K^+ X$ using data collected at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV with the LHCb detector. For the $D^{*+} K^0_{\rm S}$ final state, the decays $D^{*+} \to D^0 \pi^+$ with $D^0 \to K^- \pi^+$ and $D^0 \to K^- \pi^+ \pi^+ \pi^-$ are used.

 Measurements of $\mathrm{ t \bar{t} }$ spin correlations and top quark polarization using dilepton final states in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}=$ 8 TeV / CMS Collaboration Measurements of the top quark-antiquark ($\mathrm{ t \bar{t} }$) spin correlations and the top quark polarization are presented for $\mathrm{ t \bar{t} }$ pairs produced in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}=$ 8 TeV. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 19.5 fb$^{-1}$ collected with the CMS detector at the LHC.

 Measurement of differential and integrated fiducial cross sections for Higgs boson production in the four-lepton decay channel in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} =$ 7 and 8 TeV / CMS Collaboration Differential and integrated fiducial cross sections for the production of four leptons via the $\mathrm{H} \rightarrow 4\ell$ decays ($\ell = \mathrm{e}$, $\mu$) are measured in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} =$ 7 and 8 TeV. Measurements are performed with data corresponding to integrated luminosities of 5.1 fb$^{-1}$ at 7 TeV, and 19.7 fb$^{-1}$ at 8 TeV, collected with the CMS experiment at the LHC.

 Measurement of the charge asymmetry in highly boosted top-quark pair production in $\sqrt{s} =$ 8 TeV $pp$ collision data collected by the ATLAS experiment / ATLAS Collaboration In the $pp \rightarrow t\bar{t}$ process the angular distributions of top and anti-top quarks are expected to present a subtle difference, which could be enhanced by processes not included in the Standard Model. This Letter presents a measurement of the charge asymmetry in events where the top-quark pair is produced with a large invariant mass.

 Search for new phenomena with photon+jet events in proton–proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV with the ATLAS detector / ATLAS Collaboration A search is performed for the production of high-mass resonances decaying into a photon and a jet in 3.2 fb${}^{-1}$ of proton--proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV collected by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. Selected events have an isolated photon and a jet, each with transverse momentum above 150 GeV. [...] CERN-PH-EP-2015-320; arXiv:1512.05910.- Geneva : CERN, 2016 - 38 p. - Published in : J.

 Combination of searches for $WW$, $WZ$, and $ZZ$ resonances in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 8$ TeV with the ATLAS detector / ATLAS Collaboration The ATLAS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider has performed searches for new, heavy bosons decaying to $WW$, $WZ$ and $ZZ$ final states in multiple decay channels using 20.3 fb^{-1} of $pp$ collision data at $\sqrt{s} = 8$ TeV. In the current study, the results of these searches are combined to provide a more stringent test of models predicting heavy resonances with couplings to vector bosons.
