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 muon (anti-)neutrino charged-current quasielastic-like cross section using off-axis NuMI beam at ICARUS / ICARUS Collaboration
This paper presents the first neutrino cross-section measurement from the ICARUS detector at Fermilab, using NuMI (Neutrinos at the Main Injector) beam data collected from two beam operation periods corresponding to $2.5\times10^{20}$ protons-on-target in neutrino beam mode. [...]

Advances in photocathode development for PICOSEC Micromegas precise-timing detectors / Lisowska, M. (CERN ; Baskent U.) ; Guerra, F. (CERN ; INFN, Turin) ; Gurpinar, A. (CERN ; Middle East Tech. U., Ankara) ; Zavazieva, D. (Technion) ; Aleksan, R. (IRFU, Saclay) ; Aune, S. (IRFU, Saclay) ; Bortfeldt, J. (Munich U.) ; Breskin, A. (Weizmann Inst.) ; Brunbauer, F.M. (CERN) ; Brunold, M. (Pavia U. ; INFN, Pavia) et al.
The PICOSEC Micromegas detector is a precise-timing gaseous detector that combines a Cherenkov radiator, a semi-transparent photocathode and a Micromegas amplification stage, targeting time resolutions of tens of picoseconds for minimum ionising particles (MIPs). [...]
