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 numerically evaluates the interaction energy between finite-sized topological solitons (monopoles) to demonstrate how their physical dimensions cause deviations from the standard Coulomb potential at short distances, drawing a comparison to the running coupling constant in perturbative QED.
To address the problem of underestimating string tension in center vortex detection, this paper proposes replacing unrestricted maximization in Maximal Center Gauge with a maximization restricted to the Gaussian-distributed part of the local gauge maxima ensemble.
This paper proposes a resource-efficient method for simulating 1+1D quantum chromodynamics by encoding three qubits—representing quark color—within the electronic, nuclear, and motional states of individual ytterbium-171 atoms.
This paper presents a first-principles lattice QCD determination of the Collins-Soper kernel at the continuum and physical mass limits, providing a precise nonperturbative constraint on its long-distance behavior that bridges lattice calculations with phenomenological TMD studies.
This paper reviews recent progress in calculating the hadronic contributions to the muon's anomalous magnetic moment—specifically hadronic vacuum polarization and hadronic light-by-light scattering—using Resonance Chiral Theory, finding results consistent with the White Paper 2 values.
This paper presents a parameter-free method to determine the chiral phase transition temperature and critical exponent in (2+1)-flavor QCD by constructing ratios of an improved, renormalized order parameter, with initial numerical results obtained on lattices using staggered fermions.
This paper presents the four-loop renormalization of generalized 3-quark operators in the MSbar scheme, determining the anomalous dimensions of the four core operators for nucleon matrix elements and analyzing their critical exponents within the conformal window via the Banks-Zaks expansion.
This paper demonstrates that dilaton effective field theory serves as a diagnostic tool to distinguish between near-conformal confining and infrared conformal gauge theories, successfully applying this framework to lattice data for $SU(3)$ with fundamental fermions (favoring confinement) and $SU(2)$ with adjoint fermion (favoring conformal behavior).
This paper demonstrates that a triangular Rydberg array can serve as an analog quantum simulator for (2+1)D U(1) lattice gauge theory, naturally realizing string roughening phenomena such as logarithmic width growth and the Lüscher correction, while also enabling the observation of real-time string fluctuations and breaking dynamics.
This paper investigates the rare decay within both the Standard Model and a scalar leptoquark scenario, providing predictions for key observables in charmonium-free regions to guide future experimental searches for new physics at Belle II and LHCb.
