Nonresonant central exclusive production of charged hadron pairs in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 13~\mathrm{TeV}$ /CMS Collaboration ; TOTEM Collaboration
The central exclusive production of charged hadron pairs in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV is examined, based on data collected in a special high-$\beta^*$ run of the LHC. Events are selected by requiring both scattered protons detected in the TOTEM Roman pots, exactly two oppositely charged identified particles in the CMS silicon tracker, and the energy-momentum balance of these four particles.

The Precision Proton Spectrometer of the CMS experiment (PPS) collected more than 110 fb$^{-1}$ of data over the course of the LHC Run 2. This note illustrates the key features of the PPS alignment and optics calibrations developed during this period, the proton reconstruction procedure as well as the detector efficiency and the performance of the PPS simulation.

A search for new physics in central exclusive production using the missing mass technique with the CMS-TOTEM precision proton spectrometer /CMS Collaboration ; TOTEM Collaboration
A generic search is presented for associated production of a Z boson or a photon with an additional unspecified massive particle X in proton-tagged events from pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} = $13 TeV, recorded in 2017 by the CMS detector and the CMS-TOTEM precision proton spectrometer. The so-called missing mass spectrum is analysed in the $600-1600$ GeV range and a fit is performed to search for possible deviations from the background expectation. [...]

Study of hard color singlet exchange in dijet events with proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}= 13~\mathrm{TeV}$ /CMS Collaboration ; TOTEM Collaboration
This note presents a study of proton-proton collision events where the two leading jets are separated by a large pseudorapidity interval devoid of particle activity, known as jet-gap-jet events. Both jets have transverse momentum $p_\text{T, jet} > 40$ GeV and pseudorapidity $1.4 < |\eta_\text{jet}| < 4.7$, with $\eta_\text{jet-1}\times \eta_\text{jet-2} < 0$. [...]
