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.

Mass spectrum, magnetic moments and Regge trajectories of Ωccb\Omega_{ccb} and Ωcbb\Omega_{cbb} baryons in the nonrelativistic quark--diquark model

This paper employs a nonrelativistic quark-diquark model to predict the mass spectra, magnetic moments, and Regge trajectories of the triply heavy Ωccb\Omega_{ccb} and Ωcbb\Omega_{cbb} baryons, establishing a consistent link to experimental BcB_c meson data and providing reliable theoretical benchmarks for future searches at LHCb.

Three-dimensional recoil-electron reconstruction using combined optical imaging and waveform readout for electron-tracking Compton cameras

This study proposes and demonstrates a practical method for reconstructing three-dimensional recoil-electron directions in electron-tracking Compton cameras by combining high-resolution 2D optical imaging, 1D waveform readout, and deep learning, achieving improved angular and starting-point resolution without the data volume constraints of full 3D readout systems.

Measurement of forward photon production cross-section in pp collisions at s\sqrt{s} = 510 GeV with RHICf detector

This paper reports the inclusive differential production cross-section of forward photons in proton-proton collisions at s\sqrt{s} = 510 GeV measured by the RHICf experiment, finding that the results are consistent with Feynman scaling and various hadronic interaction models despite some predicted energy dependencies.

Prospects of five-dimensional LμLτL_\mu-L_\tau gauge interactions in the light of elastic neutrino-electron scatterings: The scope of the DUNE near detector

This paper investigates the potential of the DUNE near detector to probe a five-dimensional U(1)LμLτU(1)_{L_\mu - L_\tau} gauge extension of the Standard Model, which addresses the muon (g2)(g-2) anomaly, by analyzing elastic neutrino-electron scattering data to explore MeV-scale parameter spaces and interference effects between multiple massive gauge bosons.
