TLDR
The review as discussed by the authors summarizes much of particle physics and cosmology using data from previous editions, plus 3,283 new measurements from 899 Japers, including the recently discovered Higgs boson, leptons, quarks, mesons and baryons.
Abstract
The Review summarizes much of particle physics and cosmology. Using data from previous editions, plus 3,283 new measurements from 899 Japers, we list, evaluate, and average measured properties of gauge bosons and the recently discovered Higgs boson, leptons, quarks, mesons, and baryons. We summarize searches for hypothetical particles such as heavy neutrinos, supersymmetric and technicolor particles, axions, dark photons, etc. All the particle properties and search limits are listed in Summary Tables. We also give numerous tables, figures, formulae, and reviews of topics such as Supersymmetry, Extra Dimensions, Particle Detectors, Probability, and Statistics. Among the 112 reviews are many that are new or heavily revised including those on: Dark Energy, Higgs Boson Physics, Electroweak Model, Neutrino Cross Section Measurements, Monte Carlo Neutrino Generators, Top Quark, Dark Matter, Dynamical Electroweak Symmetry Breaking, Accelerator Physics of Colliders, High-Energy Collider Parameters, Big Bang Nucleosynthesis, Astrophysical Constants and Cosmological Parameters.

Friction in Gravitational Waves: a test for early-time modified gravity

TL;DR: In this article, the impact of modified friction and speed of tensor modes on cosmic microwave polarization B modes on the propagation of gravitational waves has been discussed, and it is shown that the non-standard friction term, parametrized by α M, is degenerate with the tensor-to-scalar ratio r, so that small values of r can be compensated by negative constant values of α M.

Scalar Dark Matter: Direct vs. Indirect Detection

TL;DR: In this article, the authors revisited the simplest model for dark matter and found two regions where one could observe the gamma lines at gamma-ray telescopes, and pointed out that the region where the dark matter mass is between 92 and 300 GeV can be tested in the near future at direct and indirect detection experiments.

Search for massive resonances decaying into WW, WZ or ZZ bosons in proton-proton collisions at √s=13 TeV

Albert M. Sirunyan, +2306 more
TL;DR: This is the first search for a narrow-width spin-2 resonance at s=13 TeV, and final states, cross section and mass exclusion limits are set for models that predict heavy spin-1 andspin-2 resonances.

Neutrino Mass, Dark Matter and Anomalous Magnetic Moment of Muon in a $U(1)_{L_{\mu}-L_{\tau}}$ Model

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed to extend the standard model by a local $L_\mu - L_\tau$ gauge symmetry, two additional complex scalars and three right-handed neutrinos.
