Bologna, DIFA) et al. The Extreme Energy Event (EEE) project is an experiment devoted to the study of high energy Extensive Air Showers (EAS) over a very large area, using an array of muon telescopes. At present the array is composed of more than 50 stations, most of them distributed across the Italian territory, on a total area of around $3 \times 105$ km$^2$.

 Entropy production in pp and Pb-Pb collisions at energies available at the CERN Large Hadron Collider / Hanus, Patrick (Heidelberg U.) ; Mazeliauskas, Aleksas (U. Heidelberg, ITP ; CERN) ; Reygers, Klaus (Heidelberg U.) We use experimentally measured identified particle spectra and Hanbury Brown-Twiss radii to determine the entropy per unit rapidity $dS/dy$ produced in $\sqrt{s} = 7$ TeV pp and $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}} = 2.76$ TeV Pb-Pb collisions. We find that $dS/dy = 11335 \pm 1188$ in 0-10% Pb-Pb, $dS/dy = 135.7 \pm 17.9$ in high-multiplicity pp, and $dS/dy = 37.8 \pm 3.7$ in minimum bias pp collisions and compare the corresponding entropy per charged particle $(dS/dy)/(dN_{\rm ch}/dy)$ to predictions of statistical models.

 Calibration of Advanced Virgo and reconstruction of detector strain $h(t)$ during the Observing Run O3 / VIRGO Collaboration The three Advanced Virgo and LIGO gravitational wave detectors participated to the third observing run (O3) between 1 April 2019 15:00 UTC and 27 March 2020 17:00 UTC,leading to several gravitational wave detections per month. This paper describes the Advanced Virgo detector calibration and the reconstruction of the detector strain $h(t)$ during O3, as well as the estimation of the associated uncertainties.

 Search for Rare Decays of the Observed Higgs Boson and Additional Higgs Bosons with the ATLAS Detector / Kano, Y (Nagoya U.) /ATLAS Collaboration Searches for rare decays of the Standard Model Higgs boson and additional Higgs bosons are performed by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. They use the unprecedented amount of collision data collected during the LHC $pp$ collision run at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV in 2015–2018, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $139\text{ fb}^{-1}$ after the data quality requirements.

 Latest results for Proton-proton Cross Section Measurements with the TOTEM experiment at LHC / Cafagna, Francesco S (INFN, Bari) /TOTEM Collaboration The precise knowledge of the proton-proton cross section is extremely important to model the development, in the atmosphere, of the showers induced by the interaction of ultra high energy cosmic rays.The TOTEM (TOTal cross section, Elastic scattering and diffraction dissociation Measurement at the LHC) experiment, located at the interaction point 5 of the LHC, has measured the total, elastic and inelastic proton-proton cross-sections, using a luminosity independent method, based on the optical theorem, in a center-of-mass energy range from 2.76 to 13 TeV. The elastic scattering was investigated in a wide range of the squared four-momentum transfer |t| allowing the study of Coulomb-nuclear interference region down to |t| ~8 x $$10^{-4} GeV^{2}$$.
