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 that improving the grain size and residual-resistivity ratio of patterned aluminum films in Quasiparticle-trap-assisted Electro-thermal-feedback Transition-edge-sensor (QET) detectors significantly enhances signal strength and phonon collection efficiency for dark matter and CENS searches.
This paper reports the successful commissioning and initial physics results of the JUNO-TAO experiment, demonstrating its high-performance capabilities in measuring reactor antineutrino energy spectra with exceptional energy resolution and stable cryogenic operation.
This paper presents a comprehensive REST-based simulation and reconstruction framework for the NDEx experiment, which successfully models the detector's response to achieve a sub-1% energy resolution, thereby establishing a critical foundation for future background rejection and design optimization studies.
This study benchmarks the performance of Variational Quantum Classifiers against classical Boosted Decision Trees and Multi-Layer Perceptrons for discriminating signal from background in LHC Run-2 data, identifying specific analysis regimes where quantum-inspired models offer competitive discrimination capabilities.
The NA61/SHINE experiment at CERN SPS reports an unexpectedly large violation of isospin symmetry, characterized by an excess of charged over neutral kaons in central Ar+Sc and +C collisions that contradicts current theoretical models and suggests a broader anomaly across the SPS energy regime.
Using LHCb proton-proton collision data, this paper reports the first observation of the rare decay with a measured branching fraction of and provides a new measurement of the branching fraction ratio between and .
This paper reports the first measurement of the neutron background flux induced by the accelerated neutrino beam at the J-PARC facility, determining a value of based on 88 observed events from a POT dataset, which is crucial for evaluating backgrounds in neutrino experiments.
This paper employs a thermostatistical analysis of ALICE's charged particle data from LHC pp collisions to demonstrate that the internal energy of the produced medium exhibits nonlinear behavior, indicating a complex degree-of-freedom structure that departs from the ideal gas model and explains the persistent production of high- hadrons.
This paper proposes that a global network of axion haloscopes can transform the initial detection of axions into a new field of dark matter astronomy by utilizing interferometric phase, spatial coherence, and spectroscopy to map substructure, measure velocity distributions, and test axion production scenarios.
This paper reviews the instrument design, ten-year on-orbit performance, and key scientific achievements of China's Dark Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE), highlighting its measurements of cosmic-ray electron, proton, and nuclei spectra, as well as its search for high-energy gamma-ray lines.
