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 presents a first-principle model explaining low-energy radon-induced backgrounds from electrode grids in dual-phase xenon TPCs, which aligns with data from the LZ and LUX experiments and offers strategies for mitigating these backgrounds in future dark matter searches.
FeynGame 3.0 is a major software update that introduces QGRAF integration for visualizing Feynman graphs and implements various new features to facilitate the creation of publication-quality diagrams.
This paper presents the first evidence of medium response to hard probes in heavy ion collisions by observing significant modifications in the distributions of low transverse momentum hadrons recoiling against Z bosons in lead-lead collisions, consistent with theoretical predictions of a hydrodynamic wake generated by energy depletion in the quark-gluon plasma.
This paper presents the full Lorentz decomposition of the tensor form factors for the baryon induced by both isovector and isoscalar currents, revealing distinct contributions from up and down quark components that reflect the baryon's internal structure and spin distribution.
This study investigates the isothermal annealing behavior of neutron-irradiated p-type silicon pad diodes from 8-inch wafers across a range of fluences and temperatures to extract annealing time constants, thereby improving the Hamburg model's ability to predict long-term radiation damage effects in the CMS High-Granularity Calorimeter sensors for the High-Luminosity LHC.
This paper advocates for the use of the kinematic variable over for two-photon correlation functions in femtoscopy, highlighting its growing experimental feasibility due to advancements in detector technology.
This paper investigates rare kaon decays to constrain the couplings of light vector and axial-vector bosons to non-conserved currents, finding that specific decay modes place stringent limits on these interactions and exacerbate existing tensions regarding the 17 MeV boson hypothesis proposed by the ATOMKI experiment.
This paper presents the development and integration of a hybrid deep neural network for primary vertex reconstruction into LHCb's GPU-resident HLT1 framework, detailing the challenges of real-time constraints and data layout translation while outlining a roadmap for significant performance improvements through mixed-precision computing and model compression.
Using 140 fb of proton-proton collision data at TeV collected by the ATLAS detector, this paper reports the first observation of top-quark pair production in association with two photons () with a significance of 5.2 standard deviations and measures its fiducial cross section to be fb.
Using LHCb data from 2015–2018, researchers observed the first evidence of CP violation in beauty baryon decays to charmonium, measuring a combined asymmetry difference of with a significance of .
