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.

SPADE: Split-and-Delay Embeddings for Autoregressive High-Granularity Calorimeter Simulation

The paper introduces SPADE, an autoregressive transformer that independently embeds and delays multi-feature tokens to leverage standard self-attention for learning intra-token correlations, achieving state-of-the-art performance in high-granularity calorimeter shower simulation.

A High-Precision Clock Synchronization System for the CEPC Accelerator

This paper presents an enhanced White Rabbit-based clock synchronization system for the CEPC accelerator that achieves a measured end-node precision of 7.30 ps under temperature variations, significantly surpassing the required 30 ps synchronization budget through architectural improvements including a Si5345A DSPLL, reduced restart uncertainty, and reinforcement learning-based PID control.

Diffuse Neutrino Background from Magnetorotational Stellar Core Collapses

Using state-of-the-art 3D simulations, this paper assesses how magnetorotational stellar core collapses contribute to the diffuse supernova neutrino background, finding that they enhance the high-energy spectrum and could significantly accelerate the detection of this background or allow for the measurement of their occurrence fraction in future neutrino observatories.

Impact of the a1(1260)πa_1(1260) \pi cascade contribution on D0→π+π−ℓ+ℓ−D^0 \to \pi^+ \pi^- \ell^+ \ell^- decays

This paper revises the Standard Model description of the rare decays D0→π+π−ℓ+ℓ−D^0 \to \pi^+ \pi^- \ell^+ \ell^- by incorporating the previously overlooked a1(1260)πa_1(1260)\pi cascade contribution, which significantly enhances the predicted decay rate and achieves unprecedented agreement with LHCb data while maintaining consistency with hadronic parameters from analogous four-body decays.
