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.
This paper provides a conceptual and practical introduction to Strong-Field Quantum Electrodynamics tailored for experimentalists, focusing on core ideas, terminology, and challenges relevant to experimental design and interpretation rather than offering a comprehensive theoretical review.
A high-sensitivity search for neutron-to-mirror-neutron oscillations conducted at the PSI UCN source found no evidence of anomalous neutron losses, thereby excluding 99.98% of the previously claimed parameter space and establishing new limits on the oscillation time constant.
This paper derives the one-point energy correlator for deep inelastic scattering in the small- limit using the Color Glass Condensate framework, demonstrating that it serves as a clean, nonperturbative-free probe of gluon saturation dynamics with significant nuclear suppression effects relevant to the future Electron-Ion Collider.
This paper employs an open quantum systems framework to demonstrate that an ultralight scalar field coupled to neutrinos induces decoherence in neutrino oscillations with a damping parameter scaling as , differing from the dependence typically assumed in phenomenological models.
This paper presents a unified, physics-informed framework for predicting the critical electric field required for internal charge amplification in cryogenic germanium at 77 K and 4 K, bridging single-free-flight bounds with detailed scattering mechanisms to provide closed-form design formulas and a practical calibration workflow for optimizing detector performance.
This paper presents updated inclusive cross sections for electroweak Higgs boson pair production at LHC-relevant energies, calculated at NLO QCD+NLO EW for vector-boson fusion and NNLO QCD for associate production, covering both Standard Model predictions and scenarios with anomalous trilinear Higgs self-couplings.
This paper demonstrates that combining atmospheric neutrino data with the ESSnuSB super-beam program significantly enhances the precision of measuring the leptonic CP phase and resolves neutrino mass ordering degeneracies.
This paper presents the first leading-order Standard Model calculation of triply polarized $WWW$ production at the LHC, revealing that the triply-transverse polarization fraction dominates at approximately 51% while the triply-longitudinal fraction remains negligible at 1.4%, thereby highlighting the significant experimental challenge of measuring the latter.
Using 54.4 fb of 13 TeV proton-proton collision data from the CMS experiment, a search for narrow resonances decaying to diphotons in the 10–70 GeV mass range found no significant excess over the expected background, leading to the setting of upper limits on production cross sections and an interpretation within an axion-like particle framework.
This paper extends the theoretical and phenomenological analysis of recent NA61/SHINE collaboration findings by establishing the conceptual and analytical foundations of isospin symmetry and proving that, under charge-symmetry invariant initial conditions, the mean multiplicities of charged and neutral kaons should be equal, thereby highlighting the significance of the observed violation.
