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 reports on the development and application of the HF-NRevo framework, which provides a consistent perturbative description of heavy-flavor fragmentation for -wave quarkonia and fully heavy tetraquarks, enabling new investigations into medium effects in heavy-ion collisions and the intrinsic charm content of the proton at future collider facilities.
Using 2024 proton-proton collision data from the LHCb Run 3 detector, this paper reports the first observation of the doubly charmed baryon decaying into with a statistical significance exceeding seven standard deviations and provides a precise measurement of its mass and mass difference relative to the .
This paper reports the successful fabrication and first cryogenic operation of two compact n-type germanium ring-contact (GeRC) prototypes, establishing a proof-of-principle workflow for their complex non-planar geometry and demonstrating stable performance at 77 K as a foundational step toward scalable, low-background detectors for rare-event experiments like LEGEND-1000.
This paper presents the first lattice-QCD determination of dimension-six four-quark matrix elements for heavy-meson lifetime ratios using gradient flow renormalization on 2+1-flavor domain-wall fermion ensembles, achieving NNLO matching to the scheme and providing precise bag parameters with a full error budget.
This paper demonstrates that the gradient flow combined with short flow-time expansion (GF+SFTX) serves as an effective renormalization procedure for calculating precise bag parameters of four-quark operators relevant to neutral heavy-meson mixing and lifetimes, successfully applying this method to six RBC/UKQCD domain-wall fermion ensembles to obtain results consistent with existing determinations while providing a robust framework for handling power-divergent mixing in future lattice computations.
This paper computes next-to-leading order radiative corrections to the process by incorporating the non-perturbative pion structure via the generalized vector meson dominance model, comparing these results with the naive scalar QED approach to quantify model uncertainties for radiative return experiments at flavor factories.
This paper outlines the analysis techniques, background composition, and rejection procedures employed by the PADME experiment at Laboratori Nationali di Frascati to search for the Dark Photon via positron-electron annihilation using the missing mass technique.
This paper investigates the potential of multi-kiloton liquid scintillator detectors to measure the CP-violating phase in atmospheric neutrino oscillations by calculating expected event rates and distributions across various sites and detector configurations, ultimately estimating sensitivity through a Poisson likelihood analysis.
This paper proposes a method to assess theoretical uncertainties in Effective Field Theories by leveraging the invariance of physical observables under field redefinitions to validate power-counting schemes and generalize uncertainty estimation from the Standard Model to non-renormalisable interactions, demonstrated through a case study in Higgs Effective Field Theory.
This paper benchmarks three exclusive nuclear ground-state shell models implemented in the NEUT neutrino event generator against recent JSNS measurements of missing energy from a monoenergetic neutrino beam, finding that spectral function models outperform relativistic mean field models and that accounting for missing energy thresholds allows all tested nuclear models to be statistically accepted.
