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.

Determination of heavy meson light-cone distribution amplitudes: theoretical framework and lattice simulations

This paper presents a first-principles, continuum-limit lattice QCD determination of heavy meson light-cone distribution amplitudes (LCDAs) using the HQLaMET framework across multiple ensembles, yielding precise QCD and HQET results with total uncertainties below 30% that are consistent with experimental constraints.

Hamiltonian formulation of the 1+11+1-dimensional ϕ4ϕ^4 theory in a momentum-space Daubechies wavelet basis

This paper applies a momentum-space Daubechies wavelet basis within the Hamiltonian framework to investigate nonperturbative dynamics in 1+11+1-dimensional ϕ4\phi^4 theory, successfully reproducing the strong-coupling phase transition and demonstrating systematic convergence of the critical coupling as momentum resolution increases.

Quark Number Susceptibilities and Conserved Charge Fluctuations in (2+1)(2+1)-flavor QCD with Möbius domain-wall fermions (MDWF)

This paper calculates second- and fourth-order conserved-charge fluctuations in (2+1)(2+1)-flavor QCD using Möbius domain-wall fermions to study quark number susceptibilities across different quark masses and temperatures, comparing the results to hadron resonance gas models and Stefan–Boltzmann limits.

Fully charm tetraquark production at hadronic collisions with gluon radiation effects

This paper presents the first complete next-to-leading order QCD calculation for fully charm tetraquark production at hadronic collisions, incorporating gluon radiation effects through resummation and utilizing LHCb and CMS data to extract universal long-distance matrix elements and predict kinematic distributions for the X(6900)X(6900) and its spin-zero partners.
