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.

Measurement of the $ \mathrm{Z}\gamma $ production cross section and search for anomalous neutral triple gauge couplings in pp collisions at $ \sqrt{s}= $ 13 TeV / CMS Collaboration
A measurement of the fiducial cross section of the associated production of a Z boson and a high-$ p_{\mathrm{T}} $ photon, where the Z decays to two neutrinos, and a search for anomalous triple gauge couplings are reported. [...]

Dressing and Screening in Anti-de Sitter / Ankur (U. Trieste (main) ; INFN, Trieste ; CAS, Beijing) ; Di Pietro, Lorenzo (Trieste U. ; INFN, Trieste) ; Gorbenko, Victor (Ecole Polytechnique, Lausanne) ; Komatsu, Shota (CERN) ; Sacchi, Veronica (Ecole Polytechnique, Lausanne)
Motivated by a question of defining gauge-invariant observables in cosmology and by the close connection between perturbation theory in de Sitter (dS) and Anti-de Sitter (AdS), we study scalar electrodynamics in AdS in setups that are largely unexplored but relevant for dS physics. [...]

Dark Matter emission at Belle II and NA62 in Minimal Flavor Violation framework / Mescia, Federico (Frascati) ; Okawa, Shohei (APCTP, Pohang ; POSTECH ; Kyushu U., Fukuoka (main)) ; Swallow, Joel (CERN) ; Toni, Claudio (Annecy, LAPTH)
Minimal Flavor Violation (MFV) provides a compelling framework for exploring physics beyond the Standard Model, in which new QCD-singlet fields transforming under the global $\mathrm{SU}(3)^3$ quark flavor symmetry can naturally be stable and act as dark matter (DM) candidates. [...]

Status and performance of the CMS Electromagnetic Calorimeter in Run 3 of LHC / Tornago, Marta (IRFU, Saclay) /CMS Collaboration
The Electromagnetic Calorimeter (ECAL) of the CMS experiment at the LHC plays a vital role in various physics analyses, including Higgs boson studies and searches for new phenomena. Achieving accurate calibration of the detector and its individual channels is critical for optimizing the energy resolution of electrons and photons, as well as for measuring the electromagnetic components of jets and contributing to energy sums used to detect particles that do not generate a signal in the detector.

Refining Tau Identification with Domain Adaptation Techniques at CMS / Zakharov, Stepan (DESY) /CMS Collaboration
Hadronically decaying tau leptons are a challenging signature to study given it can be mimicked by quark and gluon jets, electrons, or muons. The identification of this signature via a convolutional neural network performed by CMS during the LHC Run 2 brought a massive improvement with respect to previous strategies. [...]

Search for Physics beyond the Standard Model in four- and three-top quark production / Shooshtari, Maryam (OAW, Vienna) /CMS Collaboration
A reinterpretation of four-top quark ($t\bar{t}t\bar{t}$) production is presented using the full Run~2 dataset recorded by the CMS experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138\,fb$^{-1}$. The analysis targets BSM scenarios using the existing \tttt production measurement, including constraints on effective field theory (EFT) operators, top-philic heavy resonances, and the top-Yukawa coupling.
