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.

Precision physics at the muon collider: $m_W$ and CKM matrix elements / Bella, Ludovica Aperio (DESY) ; Franceschini, Roberto (INFN, Rome3 ; Rome III U. ; CERN) ; Meloni, Federico (DESY) ; Wang, Xing (INFN, Rome3 ; Rome III U.)
We examine the potential for a 10~TeV lepton collider to carry out precision measurements of the W boson mass and W boson couplings strength, i.e. [...]

Search for the nonresonant production of a pair of additional Higgs bosons in the Type-X two-Higgs-doublet model in proton-proton collisions at $ \sqrt{s} = $ 13 TeV
A search is presented for the production of two additional Higgs bosons from an off-shell Z boson, where both additional particles decay to $ \tau $ lepton pairs. [...]

Operational performance of the CMS Strip Tracker during LHC Run 3 / Sneh Shuchi Sneh /CMS Collaboration
The CMS silicon strip tracker consists of the inner barrel (TIB), inner discs (TID), outer barrel (TOB), and end-cap (TEC) sub-detectors, providing precise measurements for charged particle trajectories up to a pseudorapidity range of $\lvert \eta \rvert < 2.5$. During Run 3 with proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 13.6~\mathrm{TeV}$, the CMS strip tracker continues to perform exceedingly well superseding its design goals. [...]

$B_c \to \eta_c$ form factors at large recoil: SCET analysis and a three-loop consistency check / Bell, Guido (Siegen U.) ; Böer, Philipp (CERN) ; Feldmann, Thorsten (Siegen U.) ; Horstmann, Dennis (Siegen U. ; KIT, Karlsruhe) ; Shtabovenko, Vladyslav (Siegen U.)
The double-logarithmic series of non-relativistic $B_c \to η_c$ form factors at large recoil is governed by a coupled set of integral equations, reflecting an intricate interplay between arbitrarily many soft-quark and soft-gluon exchanges. [...]

A missing link: Brane networks and the Cobordism Conjecture / Dierigl, Markus (Princeton U.) ; Ruiz, Ignacio (Princeton U.)
The absence of global symmetries in a quantum gravity theory often requires the introduction of (new) symmetry-breaking defects, which appear as singular objects in the low-energy description. [...]
