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.

Conformal Data for the O(2)O(2) Wilson-Fisher CFT in (2+1)(2+1)-Dimensional Spacetime from Exact Diagonalization and Matrix Product States on the Fuzzy Sphere

This paper utilizes exact diagonalization and matrix product state techniques on a fuzzy sphere to extract conformal data for the (2+1)(2+1)-dimensional O(2)O(2) Wilson-Fisher CFT, identifying 32 primary operators and verifying their scaling dimensions against conformal bootstrap predictions and large charge expansion results.

Mass spectrum, magnetic moments and Regge trajectories of Ωccb\Omega_{ccb} and Ωcbb\Omega_{cbb} baryons in the nonrelativistic quark--diquark model

This paper employs a nonrelativistic quark-diquark model to predict the mass spectra, magnetic moments, and Regge trajectories of the triply heavy Ωccb\Omega_{ccb} and Ωcbb\Omega_{cbb} baryons, establishing a consistent link to experimental BcB_c meson data and providing reliable theoretical benchmarks for future searches at LHCb.

Exotic TcsJT^*_{csJ} and TcsˉJT^*_{c\bar{s}J} states and coupled-channel scattering at the SU(3)SU(3) flavour symmetric point from lattice QCD

This lattice QCD study at the SU(3)SU(3) flavour symmetric point reveals attractive interactions and multiple pole singularities in the flavour-exotic 6\mathbf{6} sector, identifying JP=0+,1+,2+J^P = 0^+, 1^+, 2^+ partners of the experimentally observed Tcs0(2870)0T^*_{cs0}(2870)^0 and Tcsˉ0(2900)T^*_{c\bar{s}0}(2900) states, while finding only weak interactions without poles in the 15\overline{\mathbf{15}} sector.

Adiabatic continuity in a partially reduced twisted Eguchi-Kawai model with one adjoint Dirac fermion

This paper provides numerical evidence from a partially reduced twisted Eguchi-Kawai model that the confined phase of large-NN SU(N)SU(N) gauge theory with one adjoint Dirac fermion persists under spatial compactification with periodic boundary conditions, supporting an adiabatic continuity scenario between large and small circles, whereas antiperiodic boundary conditions induce a clear deconfinement transition.

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.
