# CERN Accelerating science

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.

 The CMS Level-1 Tau algorithm for the LHC Run II / Mastrolorenzo, Luca (Ecole Polytechnique) /CMS Collaboration The CMS experiment implements a sophisticated two-level online selection system that achieves a rejection factor of nearly 10e5. The first level (L1) is based on coarse information coming from the calorimeters and the muon detectors while the High Level Trigger combines fine-grain information from all sub-detectors.

 Review of BSM neutral Higgs results in CMS / Zucchetta, Alberto (INFN, Padua ; Padua U.) /CMS Collaboration Searches for beyond the standard model neutral Higgs bosons at the CMS experiment are presented. The analyses are based on proton-proton collision data recorded by the CMS experiment at $\sqrt{s}=7$ TeV and $\sqrt{s}=8$ TeV center-of-mass energy in 2011 and 2012, corresponding to integrated luminosities of up to $4.9 fb^{-1}$ and $19.7 fb^{-1}$.

 Results (and future prospects) of the CMS experiment in photon-induced collisions in heavy-ion collisions / Kenny, Raymond Patrick (Kansas U.) /CMS Collaboration Ultra-peripheral collisions (UPCs) of heavy ions involve long range electromagnetic interactions at impact parameters larger than twice the nuclear radius. At TeV energies, the strong electromagnetic field due to the coherent action of the Z=82 proton charges generates a large flux of photons, which can be used for high-energy photoproduction studies.

 Identification of hadronic tau decays in CMS / Venditti, Rosamaria (INFN, Bari ; Bari U.) /CMS Collaboration The algorithm used for reconstruction and identification of hadronic tau decays by the CMS experiment at the LHC is presented. The tau reconstruction in CMS takes advantage of the particle-flow algorithm which allows to reconstruct individual hadronic decay modes. The performance of the algorithm in terms of tau identification efficiency and rates for jets to be misidentified as hadronic tau decays is measured in $pp$ collision data recorded in 2012 at a center-of-mass energy of $8$~TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $19.7$~fb$^{-1}$..
