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 that resonant cavities can enhance the decay rate of axion dark matter into two photons via the Purcell effect, offering a competitive and complementary search method that can be implemented using existing axion heterodyne detection schemes with minimal modification.
This paper demonstrates that chiral-odd dimeson generalized distribution amplitudes, which encode the spin-orbit correlation in spin-zero mesons, can be experimentally accessed in reactions through the interference between leading one-photon and two-photon exchange amplitudes, offering a direct path to probe this previously unmeasured sector of meson structure at facilities like BES III.
This paper introduces a deep neural network utilizing neural posterior estimation and conditional normalizing flows to reconstruct the direction, energy, and flavor of ultra-high-energy neutrinos from raw radio waveforms in in-ice detectors, achieving improved resolution and providing event-by-event uncertainty predictions for the first time.
This paper investigates the minimal type II seesaw mechanism with two-zero neutrino mass textures, demonstrating how specific patterns of charged lepton flavor violation—particularly in tau decays—can be distinguished from other new physics scenarios and used to probe ultra-high flavor symmetry scales and doubly charged scalars at current and future experiments.
This paper proposes a machine-learning-based strategy that classifies neutrino interaction types prior to energy reconstruction to exploit intrinsic kinematic differences, thereby reducing modeling uncertainties and improving the accuracy and sensitivity of next-generation long-baseline oscillation experiments like DUNE by 10–20%.
This paper presents a detailed computer simulation method to investigate the non-monotonic evolution of K-shell ionization and characteristic x-ray radiation angular distributions from high-energy electrons and positrons traversing oriented silicon crystals across a wide energy range (1–1000 GeV), with a specific focus on the underlying physical mechanisms such as dechanneling.
This paper presents the latest results from the ATLAS and CMS experiments on precision measurements of top-quark pair spin correlations and quantum entanglement, leveraging extensive proton-proton collision datasets at up to 13.6 TeV to test theoretical predictions through the unique decay properties of top quarks.
This paper analyzes the first JUNO reactor neutrino data to demonstrate that, when combined with global oscillation constraints and atmospheric neutrino results, it yields a world-leading precision on and while providing a slight but statistically significant preference for the Normal Ordering of neutrino masses.
Using the perturbative QCD approach, this paper analyzes resonance contributions from and mesons and their excited states to the three-body decays , revealing that virtual contributions from the tails of and are comparable to those from higher resonances and thus constitute a significant component of these decays.
This study validates olivine as a promising candidate for the "paleo-detector" technique by using STEM to characterize heavy-ion tracks at various depths without etching, confirming that observed changes in track continuity align with SRIM simulation predictions regarding the transition between electronic and nuclear stopping power.
