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.
This paper reviews recent STAR experiment results on net-proton multiplicity fluctuations from RHIC BES-II collisions to search for the QCD critical point by comparing fourth-order cumulant and factorial cumulant ratios with non-critical theoretical models while addressing initial volume fluctuations and outlining future research directions.
Using anisotropic lattice QCD ensembles with Wilson-clover fermions, the study finds evidence for the effective restoration of symmetry at a temperature of MeV, which is significantly higher than the chiral crossover temperature.
This paper presents high-precision lattice simulations of an SU(2) solitonic dipole in a singlet state, demonstrating that its interaction potential quantitatively reproduces the classical Coulomb law at large distances while exhibiting short-distance deviations consistent with perturbative QED and the running of the fine-structure constant.
This paper systematically compares the applicability, ease of use, and predictive power of prominent diagnostic tools for assessing the correctness of complex Langevin simulations by applying them to four simple but nontrivial models.
This paper utilizes QCD light-cone sum rules to calculate the electromagnetic multipole moments of -type strange hidden-charm pentaquarks, revealing distinct magnetic dipole, electric quadrupole, and magnetic octupole signatures that depend on diquark structure and provide key discriminants to differentiate between compact pentaquark and molecular interpretations.
This paper utilizes Born-Oppenheimer effective field theory (BOEFT) to systematically quantify open-flavor threshold effects on the quarkonium spectrum by solving coupled Schrödinger equations with lattice-constrained static potentials, successfully reproducing experimental data and providing a field-theoretical interpretation of the phenomenological model's pair-creation constant.
This paper demonstrates that generalized symmetries, including higher-form, subsystem, gauge, and non-invertible symmetries, can induce exponential Hilbert space fragmentation, thereby challenging the assumption that such fragmentation necessarily implies ergodicity breaking and revealing its role in disorder-free localization.
This paper demonstrates that chiral-odd dimeson generalized distribution amplitudes, which encode the spin-orbit correlation in spin-zero mesons, can be experimentally accessed in reactions through the interference between leading one-photon and two-photon exchange amplitudes, offering a direct path to probe this previously unmeasured sector of meson structure at facilities like BES III.
This study employs Matrix Product States to investigate fermion discretization effects in the two-flavor lattice Schwinger model, demonstrating that twisted mass fermions offer superior convergence to the continuum limit and reduced finite-volume dependence compared to staggered and Wilson formulations, thereby validating their potential for future Hamiltonian simulations of higher-dimensional gauge theories.
This paper provides a rigorous proof that generalized Ising models with interaction parameter exhibit "entropic order" at arbitrarily high temperatures and solve NP-hard graph packing problems, leading to the emergence of a novel "entropic glass" phase on arbitrary graphs.
