Hep-Lat, short for High Energy Physics – Lattice, explores the fundamental forces of nature by simulating particle interactions on a digital grid. Instead of relying solely on abstract equations, researchers in this field use powerful computers to model how quarks and gluons bind together, offering deep insights into the structure of matter that are often impossible to derive analytically.
Gist.Science ensures these complex discoveries from arXiv remain accessible to everyone. We process every new preprint in this category as it is posted, providing both plain-language explanations for the curious and detailed technical summaries for experts. This dual approach bridges the gap between cutting-edge simulation work and broader scientific understanding.
Below are the latest papers in High Energy Physics – Lattice, curated directly from arXiv and ready for you to explore.
Using lattice QCD with Nf = 2+1 flavors, the gradient flow method, and Bayesian model averaging, the authors calculate the nucleon's gluon momentum fraction to be 0.482(35) at a scale of 2 GeV.
This paper investigates how the ground-state properties of the meson evolve as the number of light-quark flavors () approaches the conformal window, revealing that while chiral symmetry restoration and deconfinement occur at a critical flavor number, the meson's survival is governed by the divergence of the confinement length scale rather than mass crossing, resulting in a larger, rounder object with flattened form factors and an expanding charge radius.
This paper presents an extraction of unpolarised transverse momentum dependent parton distribution functions for valence quarks in the pion by applying TMD factorisation to Drell-Yan experimental data, utilizing recent perturbative results and a precise nucleon TMDPDF to derive findings consistent with previous phenomenological and lattice computations.
This paper investigates accelerated gluodynamics via lattice simulations in Rindler coordinates to derive a renormalization prescription for the Polyakov loop and compares the resulting static quark properties with a non-accelerated approximation based on the Tolman-Ehrenfest law, finding good agreement near the critical temperature but deviations at higher temperatures likely due to corrections in the Rindler framework.
This paper proposes an analytic pseudofermion sampler using continuous Hasenbusch transport to incorporate dynamical fermions into gauge diffusion without neural networks, demonstrating its efficacy in the two-flavour Schwinger model and introducing a Wilson operator trace-based correction to reduce weight fluctuations while preserving generated fields.
This review outlines modern strategies utilizing dispersion relations, lattice gauge theory, and nuclear many-body calculations to reduce hadronic and nuclear uncertainties in radiative corrections for low-energy weak interaction processes, thereby enhancing the precision of searches for physics beyond the Standard Model.
This paper derives a Wandzura-Wilczek-like relation and a Burkhardt-Cottingham-like sum rule connecting the twist-2 and twist-3 tensor-polarized partonic structures of the spin-1 deuteron, and uses HERMES data to phenomenologically estimate that the twist-3 distribution is comparable in magnitude and shape to the twist-2 distribution , suggesting significant subleading-twist effects for future low- experiments.
This paper presents a manifestly gauge-invariant formulation of the Higgs mechanism as a smooth crossover by utilizing gradient-flow regularization to resolve contact-term divergences and enable consistent matching with the standard scheme, as demonstrated at the one-loop level.
This paper demonstrates that enforcing -channel unitarity in high-energy elastic $pp$ scattering models significantly increases the extracted dynamical gluon mass scale from approximately 300–420 MeV to 750–1100 MeV, revealing that the physical infrared scale is a unitarity-dressed quantity determined jointly by the nonperturbative gluon propagator and multiple-exchange dynamics.
This paper presents a comprehensive lattice QCD study using RBC/UKQCD ensembles to determine the masses, decay constants, and compositeness parameters of positive- and negative-parity charm-strange and bottom-strange mesons, providing the first lattice results for and and confirming that the positive-parity states are predominantly molecular in nature.
