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.

Theoretical modeling of charged current νμ(νˉμ)40Ar\nu_\mu(\bar\nu_\mu)-^{40}Ar DIS at DUNE energies

This paper presents a theoretical study of charged current νμ(νˉμ)\nu_\mu(\bar{\nu}_\mu)-induced deep inelastic scattering on 40Ar^{40}\mathrm{Ar} at DUNE-relevant energies, utilizing a microscopic framework with nuclear medium effects and NNLO QCD corrections to compute nuclear structure functions and differential cross sections.

Comprehensive analyses of rare ΛbΛ+ \Lambda_b \rightarrow \Lambda \ell^+ \ell^-, ΣbΣ+\Sigma_b \rightarrow \Sigma \ell^+ \ell^- and ΞbΞ+\Xi_b \rightarrow \Xi \ell^+ \ell^- decays in 2HDM

This paper investigates rare dileptonic decays of Λb\Lambda_b, Σb\Sigma_b, and Ξb\Xi_b baryons within the Type III Two-Higgs-Doublet Model, calculating key observables like branching ratios and forward-backward asymmetries using light-cone QCD form factors to compare predictions against Standard Model results and assess the model's viability for future experimental verification at LHCb and Belle II.

Isospin-symmetry violation -- kaons and beyond (ISO-BREAK 25: summary and outlook)

This paper summarizes the ISO-BREAK 25 workshop held in Kielce in October 2025, which reviewed the current status of isospin-symmetry breaking observed by NA61/SHINE in nucleus-nucleus collisions, discussed its confirmation by other experiments, and outlined future experimental and theoretical priorities to explain this phenomenon.

Quantum Tomography and Entanglement in Semi-Leptonic hVVh\to VV^* Decays at Higher Orders

This paper presents a systematic study of semi-leptonic Higgs decays to electroweak gauge bosons at NLO QCD and electroweak accuracy, demonstrating that while finite fermion masses and higher-order corrections significantly modify angular observables, the process retains an effective two-qutrit description suitable for quantum tomography and entanglement analysis.

Radiation effects on the entanglement of fermion pairs at colliders

This paper demonstrates that energetic final-state radiation induces decoherence and significantly reduces the entanglement of fermion-antifermion pairs produced at colliders, with statistically significant experimental signals predicted for current datasets from ttˉ(g)t\bar{t}(g) production at the LHC and τ+τ(γ)\tau^{+}\tau^{-}(\gamma) production at Belle 2.
