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.

Improved measurement of C ⁣PC\!P violation in Bs0 ⁣J/ψπ+πB^{0}_{s} \!\to J/\psi \pi^{+}\pi^{-} decays

Using LHCb data from 2015–2018, this paper presents an improved measurement of the C ⁣PC\!P-violating phase ϕs\phi_{s} and related parameters in Bs0 ⁣J/ψπ+πB^{0}_{s} \!\to J/\psi \pi^{+}\pi^{-} decays, yielding results consistent with the Standard Model and refining the global average to ϕs=0.041±0.017rad\phi_{s} = -0.041 \pm 0.017\,\text{rad}.

Enhanced Three-Particle Contribution to Electroweak Penguin BB-Meson Decays

This paper presents the first computation of the subleading twist correction from the three-particle BB-meson distribution amplitude at next-to-leading order using soft-collinear effective theory, thereby completing the leading-power factorization analysis and enabling improved field-theoretic predictions for electroweak penguin B{K,π}+B \to \{K, \pi\} \ell^+ \ell^- decays.

Precision Measurements of Higgs Hadronic Decay Modes at the FCC-ee

This paper presents a comprehensive study demonstrating that the FCC-ee, utilizing four IDEA detectors and combining Higgs-strahlung and vector boson fusion processes, can achieve percent-to-per-mil precision on dominant Higgs hadronic decay modes and, for the first time, establish sensitivity to the rare HssˉH\rightarrow s\bar{s} decay to probe the strange-quark Yukawa coupling.

Singlet-Doublet fermion origin of dark matter, neutrino mass and inverse first-order electroweak phase transition

This paper proposes a scotogenic model extending the Standard Model with singlet-doublet fermions and right-handed neutrinos to simultaneously explain dark matter, Dirac neutrino masses, and an inverse first-order electroweak phase transition that produces observable gravitational waves, with its parameter space testable by future collider, direct-detection, and cosmological experiments.

Amplitude analysis of B+ ⁣K+π+πB^+ \!\to K^+ \pi^+ \pi^- decays

Using 3 fb1^{-1} of LHCb data, this paper reports the most precise measurements of branching fractions and C ⁣PC\!P-violating asymmetries for intermediate states in B+ ⁣K+π+πB^+ \!\to K^+ \pi^+ \pi^- decays by employing three complementary amplitude analysis approaches to model dominant S-wave contributions, thereby providing new insights into strong dynamics and C ⁣PC\!P violation.
