On Newtonian frames
In Newtonian space-time there exist four, and only four, causal classes of frames. Natural frames allow to extend this result to coordinate systems, so that coordinate systems may be also locally classified in four causal classes. These causal classes admit simple geometric descriptions and physical interpretations. For example, one can generate representatives of the four causal classes by means of the {\em linear synchronization group}. Of particular interest is the {\em local Solar time synchronization}, which reveals the limits of the frequent use of the concept of `causally oriented oordinate', such as that of `time-like coordinate'. Classical {\em positioning systems}, based in sound or light signals, are, by themselves, interesting examples of location systems, i.e. of physically constructible coordinate systems. They show that one can locate events in Newtonian space-time {\em without} any use of the concept of synchronization. In fact, the coordinate systems associated to positioning systems, belong to all the classes but the standard one, i.e. the one based in the simultaneity synchronization. The relativistic analogs of these examples, emphasize the contrast between the four Newtonian and the one hundred and ninety nine Lorentzian causal classes of frames of classical and relativistic space-times, respectively.

title: Aligned Electric and Magnetic Weyl Fields
abstract: The results on the non-existence of purely magnetic solutions are extended to the wider class of spacetimes which have homothetic electric and magnetic Weyl fields. This class is a particularization of the spacetimes admitting a direction for which the relative electric and magnetic Weyl fields are aligned. We give an invariant characterization of these metrics and study the properties of their Debever null vectors. The directions ‘observing’ aligned electric and magnetic Weyl fields are obtained for every Petrov-Bel type.

title: An intrinsic characterization of the Kerr metric
abstract: We give the necessary and sufficient (local) conditions for a metric tensor to be the Kerr solution. These conditions exclusively involve explicit concomitants of the Riemann tensor.

title: On the super-energy radiative gravitational fields
abstract: We extend our recent analysis (Ferrando J J and Saez J A 2012 ) on the Bel radiative gravitational fields to the super-energy radiative gravitational fields defined by Garcia-Parrado (2008 ). We give an intrinsic characterization of the new radiative fields and consider some distinguished classes of both radiative and non-radiative fields. Several super-energy inequalities are improved.

title: Vacuum type I spacetimes and aligned Papapetrou fields: symmetries
abstract: We analyse type I vacuum solutions admitting an isometry whose Killing 2-form is aligned with a principal bivector of the Weyl tensor, and we show that these solutions belong to a family of type I metrics which admit a group G3 of isometries. We give a classification of this family and study the Bianchi type for each class. The classes compatible with an aligned Killing 2-form are also determined. The Szekeres–Brans theorem is extended to non-vacuum spacetimes with vanishing Cotton tensor.

title: On the intrinsic labeling of space‐times: a characterization of the Kerr solution
abstract: The interest of obtaining an intrinsic (depending solely on the metric tensor) and fully explicit characterization of a space‐time is pointed out. We give the necessary and sufficient (local) conditions for a metric tensor to be the Kerr solution. These conditions exclusively involve concomitants of the Weyl tensor.

title: On direct measurement of the W production charge asymmetry at the LHC
abstract: The prospects for making a direct measurement of the W production charge asymmetry at the LHC are discussed. A modification to the method used at the Tevatron is proposed for measurements at the LHC. The expected sensitivity for such a measurement to parton distribution functions is compared to that for a measurement of the lepton charge asymmetry. The direct measurement approach is found to be less useful for placing constraints on parton distribution functions at the LHC than a measurement of the lepton charge asymmetry.

title: Search for supersymmetry in events with photons, bottom quarks, and missing transverse momentum in proton–proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV with the ATLAS detector
abstract: A search has been performed for the experimental signature of an isolated photon with high transverse momentum, at least one jet identified as originating from a bottom quark, and high missing transverse momentum. Such a final state may originate from supersymmetric models with gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking in events in which one of a pair of higgsino-like neutralinos decays into a photon and a gravitino while the other decays into a Higgs boson and a gravitino. The search is performed using the full dataset of 7 TeV proton–proton collisions recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC in 2011, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.7 fb−1. A total of 7 candidate events are observed while 7.5±2.2 events are expected from the Standard Model background. The results of the search are interpreted in the context of general gauge mediation to exclude certain regions of a benchmark plane for higgsino-like neutralino production.

title: Search for long-lived, heavy particles in final states with a muon and multi-track displaced vertex in proton-proton collisions at √s=7 TeV with the ATLAS detector
abstract: Many extensions of the Standard Model posit the existence of heavy particles with long lifetimes. In this Letter, results are presented of a search for events containing one or more such particles, which decay at a significant distance from their production point, using a final state containing charged hadrons and an associated muon. This analysis uses a data sample of proton-proton collisions at root s = 7 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.4 fb(-1) collected in 2011 by the ATLAS detector operating at the Large Hadron Collider. Results are interpreted in the context of R-parity violating supersymmetric scenarios. No events in the signal region are observed and limits are set on the production cross section for pair production of supersymmetric particles, multiplied by the square of the branching fraction for a neutralino to decay to charged hadrons and a muon, based on the scenario where both of the produced supersymmetric particles give rise to neutralinos that decay in this way. However, since the search strategy is based on triggering on and reconstructing the decay products of individual long-lived particles, irrespective of the rest of the event, these limits can easily be reinterpreted in scenarios with different numbers of long-lived particles per event. The limits are presented as a function of neutralino lifetime, and for a range of squark and neutralino masses.

title: Measurement of neutral current cross sections at high Bjorken-x with the ZEUS detector at HERA
abstract: A new method is employed to measure the neutral current cross section up to Bjorken-x values of one with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 65.1 pb-1 for e+p collisions and 16.7 pb-1 for e-p collisions at $\sqrt{s}=318\,\mathrm{GeV}$ and 38.6 pb-1 for e+p collisions at $\sqrt{s}=300\,\mathrm{GeV}$. Cross sections have been extracted for Q2≥648 GeV2 and are compared to predictions using different parton density functions. For the highest x bins, the data have a tendency to lie above the expectations using recent parton density function parametrizations.

title: Probing QCD at the Highest $Q^2$ Deep Inelastic Scattering
abstract: Recent results from the HERA ep collider are reviewed in these proceedings. The results are from measurements that probe QCD at high-energy scales, as defined by $Q^2$, the four-momentum-transfer squared of the collisions. These cross-section measurements provide information about the parton distribution functions (PDFs) of the proton and can be used to constrain global fits of these PDFs. Recent measurements of the strong coupling $\alpha_S$ and jet substructure from HERA at similar energy scales are also reviewed.
