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.

Constraining primordial curvature perturbations with present and future GW detectors / Pieroni, Mauro (Madrid, Inst. Estructura Materia ; CERN)
Primordial scalar curvature perturbations ($\zeta$), typically probed on large cosmological scales via CMB and LSS observations, can be significantly enhanced on smaller scales by various early Universe mechanisms, for instance, non-minimal inflationary models. [...]

Operation of the Trigger System for the ICARUS Detector at Fermilab / ICARUS Collaboration
The ICARUS liquid argon TPC detector is taking data on the Booster (BNB) and Main Injector (NuMI) Neutrino beam lines at Fermilab with a trigger system based on the scintillation light produced by charged particles in coincidence with the proton beam extraction from the accelerators. [...]

Search for squarks and gluinos in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV and $13.6$ TeV in events with $\tau$-leptons, jets and missing transverse momentum using the ATLAS detector
A search for R-parity-conserving supersymmetry in events with large missing transverse momentum, jets and at least one hadronically decaying $\tau$-lepton is presented. [...]

Extreme Blazars Observed with MAGIC: Second Catalog Release / Foffano, Luca (CERN) /RE23/CTA-LST Collaboration
Extremely high-peaked BL Lac objects - also named extreme blazars - are among the most energetic and persistent extragalactic accelerators in the Universe. These sources are defined by a synchrotron emission peaking above 1017 Hz (∼ 0.3 keV) in the X-ray band [...]

Probing Neutral Triple Gauge Couplings via $ZZ$ Production at $e^+e^-$ Colliders / Ellis, John (Shanghai Jiao Tong U. ; King's Coll. London ; CERN) ; He, Hong-Jian (Tsung-Dao Lee Inst., Shanghai ; Shanghai Jiao Tong U. ; Tsinghua U., Beijing ; Peking U., CHEP) ; Xiao, Rui-Qing (Peking U.) ; Zeng, Shi-Ping (Tsung-Dao Lee Inst., Shanghai ; Shanghai Jiao Tong U.)
Neutral triple gauge couplings (nTGCs) first arise from the dimension-8 operators of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT), rather than the dimension-4 SM Lagrangian and dimension-6 SMEFT operators, opening up a unique window for probing new physics at the dimension-8 level. [...]
