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 proposes a protocol for enhancing dark matter detection sensitivity by projecting quantum sensors into a collective excited state, which suppresses non-collective noise by a factor equal to the number of sensors without requiring the maintenance of entanglement during signal accumulation.
The GlueX experiment at Jefferson Lab reports the first observations of and photoproduction alongside production, revealing forward-peaked angular distributions consistent with Regge-like -channel exchanges and a phenomenological double-exchange model, while finding no narrow resonant structures and observing a suppression of pairs similar to other reactions.
This paper proposes a hybrid nuclear-electronic spin sensor utilizing hyperfine interactions in silicon donors to overcome the low-frequency sensitivity limits of conventional nuclear magnetic resonance, thereby enabling compact solid-state detection of galactic axions with projected sensitivity exceeding direct nuclear methods by an order of magnitude.
This paper presents the design and experimental characterization of the POKERINO prototype, a PbWO-based electromagnetic calorimeter utilizing SiPM sensors, to validate its performance and energy resolution capabilities for the NA64 experiment's search for light dark matter.
This study demonstrates that an X-ray free-electron laser Compton collider operating at GeV could probe the Higgs self-coupling with a precision of 7% to 12% in the channel by employing boosted decision trees and genetic algorithm optimization, establishing it as a powerful complementary tool to future and hadron colliders for investigating electroweak symmetry breaking.
This paper utilizes an quiver gauge theory to classify and predict four distinct scenarios of additional TeV-scale particles that could be discovered during the Run 4 of the upgraded LHC, which is scheduled to begin in 2030.
Using 13 TeV proton-proton collision data from 2017, the ATLAS collaboration conducted a model-independent search for invisible particles produced in photon-photon interactions by reconstructing the missing mass via forward proton tagging, finding no significant excess over Standard Model predictions and setting upper limits on fiducial cross sections for various signal models.
This study reports the first laser-shock experiments on high entropy alloy microfilms probed by an X-ray free electron laser, revealing a transient 5.1% lattice compression under approximately 55 GPa of shock pressure and demonstrating the feasibility of using this technique to determine the equation of state for these emerging materials.
This paper constructs a global function designed for the simultaneous fitting of correlated energy-dependent cross sections by incorporating correlations between different processes and energy points, as well as uncertainties from integrated luminosity and center-of-mass energy measurements.
This paper employs a quark combination model within a hadronic coalescence framework to systematically analyze the production of light nuclei and hypernuclei in Au-Au collisions across the RHIC Beam Energy Scan, successfully explaining existing experimental data for species like deuterons and hypertritons while predicting yields for various -hypernuclei and exploring their production correlations as a function of collision energy.
