 First observation of the decay $B^0 \rightarrow D^0 \overline{D}{}^0 K^+ \pi^-$ The first observation of the decay $B^0 \rightarrow D^0 \overline{D}{}^0 K^+ \pi^-$ is reported using proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.7 $\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ collected by the LHCb experiment in 2011, 2012 and 2016.

 The CMS Tracker Upgrade for the High Luminosity LHC / Paoletti, Simone (INFN, Florence) /CMS Collaboration The LHC machine is planning an upgrade program which will smoothly bring the instantaneous luminosity to about $\mathrm{5 - 7.5 \times 10^{34} cm^{-2}s^{-1}}$ in 2028, to reach an integrated luminosity of $\mathrm{3000 \ fb ^{-1}}$ and possibly up to $\mathrm{4500 \ fb ^{-1}}$ by the end of 2039. This High Luminosity LHC scenario, HL-LHC, will require an upgrade program of the LHC detectors known as Phase-2 upgrade. [...] CMS-CR-2019-253.- Geneva : CERN, 2019 - 8 p.

 Development of an Optical Readout Hybrid for the CMS Outer Tracker Upgrade / Rasevic, Nikola (VINCA Inst. Nucl. Sci., Belgrade) ; Blanchot, Georges (CERN) ; Baron, S ; Kovacs, Mark Istvan (CERN) ; Kulis, S ; Porret, D ; Zografos, Angelos (Natl. Tech. U., Athens) The pixel-strip modules for the CMS Tracker Phase-2 Upgrade for the HL-LHC integrate a readout hybrid (PS-ROH) for the control and data acquisition link. This hybrid is based on the new, low power and compact gigabit transceiver (LpGBT) and the versatile transceiver VTRx+ specifically designed for the upgrade.

 Investigation into the event-activity dependence of $\Upsilon(\text{nS})$ relative production in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} =$ 7 TeV The ratios of the production cross sections between the excited $\Upsilon\text{(2S)}$ and $\Upsilon\text{(3S)}$ mesons and the $\Upsilon\text{(1S)}$ ground state, detected via their decay into two muons, are studied as a function of the number of charged particles in the event.

 Constraining Early Dark Energy with Large-Scale Structure / Ivanov, Mikhail M. (New York U., CCPP ; Moscow, INR) ; McDonough, Evan (MIT, Cambridge, CTP) ; Hill, J. Colin (Columbia U. ; Flatiron Inst., New York) ; Simonović, Marko (CERN) ; Toomey, Michael W. (Brown U.) ; Alexander, Stephon (Brown U.) ; Zaldarriaga, Matias (Princeton, Inst. Advanced Study) An axion-like field comprising $\sim 10\%$ of the energy density of the universe near matter-radiation equality is a candidate to resolve the Hubble tension; this is the "early dark energy" (EDE) model.

 Finding Wombling Boundaries in LHC Data with Voronoi and Delaunay Tessellations / Matchev, Konstantin T. (Florida U., Inst. Fund. Theor.) ; Roman, Alexander (Florida U., Inst. Fund. Theor.) ; Shyamsundar, Prasanth (Florida U., Inst. Fund. Theor.) We address the problem of finding a wombling boundary in point data generated by a general Poisson point process, a specific example of which is an LHC event sample distributed in the phase space of a final state signature, with the wombling boundary created by some new physics.

 Relativistic nuclear collisions: Establishing the non-critical baseline for fluctuation measurements / Braun-Munzinger, Peter ; Friman, Bengt ; Redlich, Krzysztof ; Rustamov, Anar ; Stachel, Johanna We study the influence of global baryon number conservation on the non-critical baseline of net baryon cumulants in heavy-ion collisions in a given acceptance, accounting for the asymmetry between the mean-numbers of baryons and antibaryons.
