We study higher-order rogue wave patterns for the well-known Boussinesq equation for the cases where the solution parameters are large. We show that these consist of a collection of individual fundamental rogue waves arranged in circles. The radii of these circles are found from the zeroes of certain polynomials. Finally, we briefly compare the patterns found with those of higher-order rogue wave patterns of the nonlinear-Schrödinger (NLS) and other equations.

The first-forbidden \(\Delta J=0\), \(\pm 2\) transitions are analyzed by using a self-consistent effective potential within the framework of proton–neutron quasi-particle random phase approximation (pn-QRPA) method. The self-consistency arises from the fact that the particle–hole and particle–particle strength parameters can be found analytically within the present approximation. The beta (\(\beta \)) decay matrix elements and log\(ft\) values are computed and compared with the corresponding experimental data. The present approximation is usually successful in reproducing the experimental data.

We investigate a manifestation of low-energy dipole collectivity in heavy nuclei, known as clustering, using algebraic techniques. In the first step, the connection of the nuclear vibron model to the U(10) algebra (spanned by four types of bosons, within the interacting boson model I (IBM-I)) is extended to other possible models through a detailed study of the U(10) subalgebras. Subsequently, the ability of the vibron model to reproduce the experimental data is extended to a wider region of heavy nuclei belonging to the rare-earth and actinide regions. A more realistic irrep labelling has been introduced to take into account the Wildermuth condition. In a second step, we upgrade the model to the IBM-II level involving the U(20) algebra, where a new \(G\)-spin and hybrid limits have been introduced.

The search for Higgs bosons in the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics and beyond the Standard Model (BSM) started intensively at the Large Electron–Positron (LEP) collider, which operated from 1989 to 2000, and later at the Tevatron from 2001 to 2011. In 2012, with the discovery of a Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, a new era began. This allowed for precision measurements of the Higgs boson properties which, so far, are all consistent with the SM expectations. Many searches for predicted BSM Higgs bosons advanced the field of experimental Higgs boson physics. The LHC already operated in three running periods: Run 1 from 2010 to 2012, Run 2 from 2015 to 2018, and currently Run 3 from 2022 to 2026. The High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) operation is foreseen from 2030. The prospects of experimental Higgs boson research for the next decade are reviewed.
