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.
The VISPA project promotes sustainable computing on a mid-scale physics cluster by implementing user-centric tools—such as per-job energy monitoring, "green-window" scheduling based on renewable energy availability, and voluntary carbon footprint reporting—to foster environmental awareness and reduce emissions through behavioral change.
The paper introduces PHIN-GAN, a physics-informed generative adversarial network that utilizes analytical probability density functions of the Landau straggling function to provide high-fidelity, scalable, and computationally efficient simulations of particle-matter interactions compared to traditional methods like GEANT4.
This paper proposes using new machine-learning-based inelasticity reconstruction algorithms to statistically separate neutrinos from antineutrinos, thereby enhancing the sensitivity of IceCube and IceCube Upgrade detectors to the neutrino mass ordering.
An analysis of global deep-inelastic scattering data reveals that nuclear modifications to nucleon structure functions remarkably cancel out in the valence quark region (), resulting in an isoscalar cross-section ratio near unity across all nuclei.
Using of CMS data collected at , this study searches for heavy narrow-width resonances decaying into two Higgs bosons via the final state, finding no significant excess and setting the most sensitive LHC limits to date for masses between $1.4$ and .
This paper reviews the QCD phase diagram at small chemical potentials, identifying three distinct regimes—the hadron gas, a "stringy fluid," and the quark-gluon plasma—which are differentiated by their symmetries, degrees of freedom, and scaling.
This paper presents recent results from the Belle and Belle II experiments regarding charm baryon decays and physics, with a specific focus on new studies of lepton-flavor violation and the first reported search for CP violation in decays.
This paper demonstrates the successful initial performance of a prototype five-layer ALPIDE-based tracking detector at the SLAC FACET-II facility, which successfully measured positron signal rates using Bremsstrahlung conversion as a proxy for the nonlinear Breit-Wheeler process, even under extreme background hit densities.
This study develops a vertical homoepitaxial GaN -particle detector featuring an ultrathin dead layer and guard-ring structure that achieves high energy resolution, while using Geant4 simulations to identify depletion-width nonuniformity as the primary cause of the low-energy tail phenomenon.
This paper describes the design of the custom cryogenic charge readout electronics for the DUNE horizontal drift far detector and presents their performance results based on data from the ProtoDUNE-HD prototype operated at CERN.
