We study the frequentist properties of confidence intervals computed by the method known to statisticians as the Profile Likelihood. It is seen that the coverage of these intervals is surprisingly good over a wide range of possible parameter values for important classes of problems, in particular whenever there are additional nuisance parameters with statistical or systematic errors. Programs are available for calculating these intervals.

Revising Indirect Dark Matter Constraints with Updated Astrophysical $J$-Factor Priors
Analytical J-factor penalty factors let published dark-matter annihilation limits be rescaled for revised Gaussian or log-normal astrophysical priors without the full experimental likelihood.

Search for heavy Majorana neutrinos in vector boson scattering with $\tau$-lepton final states with the ATLAS detector
ATLAS finds no evidence for heavy Majorana neutrinos in same-sign tau-lepton final states and sets new 95% CL upper limits on |V_τN|², reaching 0.30 at m_N = 900 GeV and extending to m_N = 6.5 TeV.

Search for massive, long-lived particles in events with displaced vertices and displaced muons in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13.6$ TeV with the ATLAS experiment
No signal of displaced-vertex-plus-displaced-muon events is seen in 164 fb^-1 of 13.6 TeV pp data; ATLAS sets improved 95% CL limits on RPV SUSY higgsino and stop production.

Search for Higgs bosons produced in association with a high-energy photon via vector-boson fusion and decaying to a pair of $b$-quarks in the ATLAS detector
ATLAS reports a new measurement of the Higgs signal strength in the VBF plus photon channel with H to bb decay, obtaining 0.2 ± 0.7 using an improved neural-network-based analysis on 133 fb^{-1} of data.

Minimal Dark Matter in the sky: updated Indirect Detection probes
Fermi-LAT data exclude the lower end of the Minimal Dark Matter 5-plet thermal mass window, while about 600 hours of CTAO observations of Ursa Major II could probe the central mass.

H.E.S.S. programme searching for VHE gamma rays associated with FRBs
H.E.S.S. found no very high energy gamma-ray counterpart to targeted fast radio bursts, setting 99% confidence upper limits on their luminosity of 10^44 to 10^48 erg/s.

Searching for dark matter annihilating into light long-lived mediators from stars inside dwarf spheroidal galaxies
Fermi-LAT observations of ten dwarf spheroidals place upper limits on dark matter-nucleon scattering by modeling stellar capture and annihilation through long-lived mediators.

Constraints on axion-like particles from ultra-high-energy observations of M87 with the HAWC observatory
No photon-ALP conversion signal found in HAWC data from M87, producing competitive constraints excluding ALP masses of 10^{-8} to 10^{-6} eV for couplings above 5×10^{-12} GeV^{-1}.

Probing Double-Peaked Gamma-Ray Spectra from Primordial Black Holes with Next-Generation Gamma-Ray Experiments
A likelihood forecast shows e-ASTROGAM could, in parts of the f1-f2 plane, distinguish double-peaked from single-peaked PBH gamma-ray spectra in the 1e15 to 1e17 g mass window.

Search for pair-produced vector-like $T$-quarks decaying into $Ht$ final states in the lepton-plus-jets channel in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}$=13 TeV with the ATLAS detector
No excess observed in search for vector-like T-quarks in Ht channel; 95% CL mass limits set at 1.40 TeV (SU(2) singlet), 1.56 TeV (doublet), and 1.66 TeV (100% BR to Ht).
