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 evaluates the physics potential of a 10 TeV muon collider using the MUSIC detector concept and 10 ab of integrated luminosity, demonstrating its exceptional capability to precisely measure key Higgs processes and determine the trilinear self-coupling with a level of precision unattainable by other proposed future colliders.
Using 138 fb of proton-proton collision data at 13 TeV collected by the CMS experiment, this study searches for single-produced vector-like quarks decaying into a W boson and a b quark in single-lepton final states, finding no significant excess over the Standard Model and setting the most stringent limits to date on their production cross section and coupling strength.
This paper presents results from the Belle and Belle II experiments on rare electroweak penguin decays involving missing energy, specifically analyzing , , and transitions using a 1.3 ab dataset collected at the resonance.
This paper argues that the observed sequential suppression of and states in high-multiplicity $pp$ collisions cannot be explained by standard hadronic or string-based models, but instead provides compelling evidence for the formation of an early, globally correlated partonic medium.
This paper outlines LHCb's competitive forward physics program, detailing complementary heavy-flavour jet measurements, electroweak studies involving top and W bosons, and searches for exotic new physics states such as axion-like particles, heavy-neutral leptons, and rare B-meson decays.
This paper presents a combined analysis of LHCb, ATLAS, and CMS data that confirms the resonance with overwhelming significance and provides substantially strengthened evidence for the state, highlighting the critical role of interference effects in fully-charmed tetraquark spectroscopy.
This paper presents recent results from the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, including the follow-up on the steady neutrino source NGC 1068, measurements of flavor composition and prompt atmospheric neutrino limits, and dark matter searches, while outlining future prospects with the IceCube Upgrade and IceCube-Gen2 to advance high-energy astrophysics and particle physics.
This paper investigates two-body charmed anti-charmed baryonic decays using a topological amplitude approach to decompose various final states, model significant SU(3) flavor symmetry breaking effects, and provide predictions for decay rates while highlighting the substantial uncertainties arising from current limitations in understanding these symmetry-breaking mechanisms.
This paper experimentally demonstrates the detection of momentum transfers from individual gas collisions with an optically levitated nanoparticle, validating theoretical models and establishing a proof-of-principle for primary pressure sensors and precision measurements of fundamental particle interactions.
This paper presents the design and simulation results of a positron transport system for the Muonium-to-Antimuonium Conversion Experiment (MACE), demonstrating high geometric acceptance, precise position resolution, and a time-of-flight capability that enables a rejection factor for internal conversion backgrounds to facilitate the search for charged lepton flavor violation.
