Hep-Ex explores the fascinating intersection where particle physics meets experimental reality. This field investigates how scientists build massive detectors and accelerate particles to test the fundamental laws of nature, turning abstract theories into measurable data. It is the rigorous process of searching for new particles or forces that could reshape our understanding of the universe, often requiring years of collaboration and engineering.

At Gist.Science, we ensure these discoveries become accessible to everyone. We process every new preprint in this category directly from arXiv, generating both plain-language explanations for curious readers and detailed technical summaries for specialists. Our goal is to bridge the gap between complex experimental results and public understanding without losing scientific nuance.

Below are the latest papers in Hep-Ex, freshly summarized and ready for you to explore.

End-to-end event reconstruction for precision physics at future colliders

This paper presents an end-to-end global event reconstruction framework combining geometric algebra transformers and object condensation clustering that significantly outperforms state-of-the-art rule-based algorithms in efficiency, fake-particle suppression, and mass resolution for future collider experiments like FCC-ee, thereby enabling rapid detector design iteration by decoupling performance from detector-specific tuning.

Precise measurement of the form factors in D0K(892)+νD^0\rightarrow K^*(892)^-\ell^+ν_{\ell} and observation of D0K2(1430)+νD^0\rightarrow K_2^*(1430)^-\ell^+ν_{\ell}

Using 20.3 fb⁻¹ of data from the BESIII detector, this study presents the most precise measurements to date of the branching fractions and hadronic form factors for the dominant D0K(892)+νD^0\rightarrow K^*(892)^-\ell^+\nu_{\ell} decays, while also reporting the first observation of the D0K2(1430)+νD^0\rightarrow K_2^*(1430)^-\ell^+\nu_{\ell} process and the first model-independent measurement of the S\mathcal{S}-wave phase shift in the Kˉ0π\bar{K}^0\pi^- system.

Experimental Advances on Light Baryon Spectroscopy at BESIII Experiment

This paper systematically reviews the significant progress made by the BESIII experiment in light baryon spectroscopy, highlighting recent discoveries of excited nucleon and hyperon states that leverage its unique high-statistics tau-charm energy datasets to advance the understanding of non-perturbative QCD and address the "missing baryon resonances" problem.

e+essˉe^+e^- \rightarrow s\bar{s} at s=250\sqrt{s} = 250 GeV at future linear colliders

This paper demonstrates that precise measurements of the forward-backward asymmetry in e+essˉe^+e^- \rightarrow s\bar{s} events at s=250\sqrt{s}=250 GeV are feasible at future linear colliders using full ILD simulations, provided that advanced particle identification techniques like Comprehensive PID and cluster counting are employed to optimize charge reconstruction and maximize sensitivity to electroweak and new-physics effects.

Atmospheric neutrino constraints on Lorentz invariance violation with the first six detection units of KM3NeT/ORCA

Using 1.4 years of atmospheric neutrino data from the first six detection units of the KM3NeT/ORCA detector, this study finds no evidence for isotropic Lorentz invariance violation and establishes competitive new limits on relevant coefficients.
