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.

Evidence for the rare decay $B^{+} \to \bar \Lambda p \mu^{+} \mu^{-}$
A search for the rare decay $B^{+} \to \bar \Lambda p \mu^{+} \mu^{- }$ is performed using proton-proton collision data recorded by the LHCb experiment at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}= 13$ TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.4 fb$^-1$. [...]

Probes of flavor symmetry and violation with top quarks in ATLAS and CMS / Strautnieks, Normunds Ralfs (LATVIA-UNIV) /ATLAS and CMS Collaborations
Measurements of lepton flavor universality (LFU) and searches for charged lepton flavor violation (cLFV) are one of the most straightforward ways of searching for Beyond Standard Model (BSM) physics. The numerous production of top quark pairs at the LHC allows for high precision measurements of LFU ratios and searches for cLFV signatures. [...]

T ; David Tinoco Mendes, Andre (CERN) ; Dauncey, Paul Dominic (Imperial Coll., London) ; Shukla, Raghunandan Atul (Imperial Coll., London) /CMS Collaboration
In preparation for operations at the HL-LHC, the CMS Collaboration is upgrading its endcap calorimeters with a high granularity calorimeter (HGCAL). The HGCAL back-end electronics includes two Non-Zero Suppression (NZS) boards, which dynamically disable zero-suppression in designated regions of interest. [...]

Measurement of the Higgs boson total decay width using the H $\to$ WW $\to$ e$νμν$ decay channel in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV / CMS Collaboration
The Higgs boson (H) decay width is determined from the ratio of off- and on-shell production of H $\to$ WW $\to$ e$νμν$ using proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$^{-1}$ collected at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV by the CMS experiment at the LHC. [...]

Search for long-lived particles using displaced vertices of oppositely charged leptons in 140 fb$^{-1}$ of pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV with the ATLAS detector
A search is presented for long-lived particles decaying into an oppositely charged lepton pair, $\mu^{+}\mu^{-}$, $e^{+}e^{-}$, or $e^{\pm}\mu^{\mp}$, that form a vertex within the inner tracking system of the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider, displaced from the primary proton-proton interaction region.
