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 ratio of branching fractions $\mathcal{B}(B_c^+ \to J/ψτ^+ ν_τ)/\mathcal{B}(B_c^+ \to J/ψμ^+ ν_μ)$ / LHCb Collaboration
A measurement of the ratio of semileptonic branching fractions $\mathcal{R}(Jψ)$, defined as $\mathcal{R}(J/ψ) \equiv \mathcal{B}(B_c^+ \to J/ψτ^+ ν_τ)/\mathcal{B}(B_c^+ \to J/ψμ^+ ν_μ)$, is reported using a sample of proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.4 fb$^{-1}$ recorded by the LHCb experiment in 2016--2018 at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV.

Testing F-theory GUTs with the Axiverse / Nee, Michael (Harvard U.) ; Reig, Mario (CERN) ; Weigand, Timo (U. Hamburg (main))
We show that axions coupled to photons in F-theory Grand Unified Theories (GUTs) satisfy the coupling-to-mass relation $g_{aγ}/m_a \leq C\, \frac{α_{\rm em}}{2π}\frac{1}{m_πf_π}$, with $C$ a calculable coefficient. [...]

Centrality dependence of charged-hadron pseudorapidity distributions in oxygen-oxygen collisions at $\sqrt{s_\mathrm{NN}}$ = 5.36 TeV / CMS Collaboration
We report the first measurement of charged-hadron pseudorapidity ($η$) distributions in oxygen-oxygen (OO) collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s_\mathrm{NN}}$ = 5.36 TeV. [...]

Detector performance at SHiP for cascade-produced long-lived particles / Climescu, Matei (Gent U.) ; Kyselov, Yehor (Taras Shevchenko U.) ; Ovchynnikov, Maksym (CERN)
Previous studies have shown that cascade production in the thick target of the SHiP experiment may substantially enhance the number of light long-lived particles (LLPs) decaying in the fiducial volume. [...]

BPS Non-Renormalization in the BMN Matrix Model / Colin-Ellerin, Sean (CERN) ; Papadodimas, Kyriakos (CERN)
We show in the $(0+1)$-dimensional Berenstein-Maldacena-Nastase matrix model, dual to M-theory on a pp-wave background, that the coupling can be changed between any two finite, non-zero values using a special class of deformations, known as conjugation deformations. [...]
