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.

Fermionic Dark Matter and New Scalar Production in e+eH+He^+e^- \to H^+H^- at Colliders

This paper investigates the pair production of charged scalars (e+eH+He^+e^- \to H^+H^-) within the scotogenic model, demonstrating that the process is dominated by tt-channel exchange of singlet right-handed fermions (including the dark matter candidate) and providing predictions for future high-energy e+ee^+e^- colliders to test the model's parameter space.

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.

New precise measurement of the e+eπ+π(γ)e^+e^- \rightarrow π^+π^-(γ) cross section with BABAR

The BABAR collaboration presents preliminary results from a new blind analysis of 460 fb⁻¹ of data, confirming consistency with their 2009 measurement of the e+eπ+π(γ)e^+e^- \rightarrow \pi^+\pi^-(\gamma) cross section to improve the precision of the muon anomalous magnetic moment prediction.
