ABOUT PREPRINTS
The Preprints collection aims to cover as far as possible all the grey literature in particle physics and its related technologies. The collection contains something like 400,000 documents, out of which about 50% can be accessed electronically. The documents originate from a variety of institutes all over the world. The collection, currently available, starts in 1979 and it has a full coverage of the arXiv.org e-Print archive since its beginning in 1991.

Characterization of the quantum state of top quark pairs produced in proton-proton collisions at $ \sqrt{s}= $ 13 TeV using the beam and helicity bases
Measurements of the spin correlation coefficients in the beam basis are presented for top quark-antiquark ($ \mathrm{t} \overline{\mathrm{t}} $) systems produced in proton-proton collisions at $ \sqrt{s}= $ 13 TeV collected by the CMS experiment in 2016-2018, and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$ ^{-1} $.

Performance of triple-GEM detectors for the ME0 system of the CMS Phase-2 Upgrade / Nenna, Felice (INFN, Bari ; Bari U.) ; Pellecchia, Antonello (INFN, Bari ; Bari U.) ; Verwilligen, Piet Omer J (INFN, Bari) /CMS Collaboration
The High-Luminosity LHC will deliver proton-proton collisions at 5-7.5 times the nominal LHC luminosity, with 140-200 pp-interactions per bunch crossing. To maintain the performance of muon triggering and reconstruction under high-rate background, the forward part of the CMS muon spectrometer will be upgraded with Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) detectors.
