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.

Lessons from LHCb and Belle II measurements of BJ/ψπB\to J/ψπ and BJ/ψKB\to J/ψK decays

This paper utilizes recent LHCb and Belle II measurements of CP asymmetries in BJ/ψπB\to J/\psi\pi decays, combined with flavor-SU(3) relations and first-order breaking corrections, to generate new Standard Model predictions for CP violation and decay rates in related BJ/ψKB\to J/\psi K and BsB_s processes.

Observation of $CP$ violation in B0 ⁣J ⁣/ψρ(770)0B^{0}\!\to{J\mskip-3mu/\mskip-2muψ}ρ(770)^0 decays

Using LHCb proton-proton collision data from 2015–2018, this paper reports the first observation of time-dependent $CP$ violation in B0 ⁣J/ψρ(770)0B^{0}\!\to{J/\psi}\rho(770)^{0} decays, yielding precise $CP$-violation parameters that, when combined with previous measurements under SU(3) flavor symmetry, provide the most stringent constraint to date on the penguin contribution to the $CP$-violating phase in Bs0 ⁣J/ψϕ(1020)B^{0}_{s}\!\to{J/\psi}\phi(1020) decays.

Search for the radiative decay Ds+γK(892)+D^+_s \to γK^*(892)^+

Using 7.33 fb1^{-1} of e+ee^+e^- collision data collected by the BESIII detector, this study reports the first search for the radiative decay Ds+γK(892)+D_s^+\to\gamma K^*(892)^+, finding no significant signal and setting an upper limit on its branching fraction of 2.3×1042.3\times10^{-4} at the 90% confidence level.
