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 proposes a method to locate the QCD critical point by analyzing contours of constant entropy density extrapolated from zero net-baryon density, yielding a predicted critical point at MeV and MeV based on Wuppertal–Budapest lattice QCD data.
This high-statistics lattice QCD study at a heavy pion mass ( MeV) demonstrates that di-nucleons do not form bound states, attributing previous claims of deeply bound states to misidentifications of the spectrum arising from off-diagonal correlation function elements rather than physical hexaquark states.
This paper presents a model-independent analysis of radiative corrections to the decay using dispersion relations to extend previous chiral perturbation theory results, thereby enabling a precise calculation of isospin-breaking corrections for the two-pion contribution to the muon's anomalous magnetic moment.
This paper proposes and analyzes a trapped-ion quantum simulator for the Jackiw-Rebbi model that investigates the real-time dynamics of fractional charges by incorporating fermionic back-reaction and quantum fluctuations, revealing how these effects influence kink localization and scattering beyond fixed-background approximations.
This paper employs thermal tensor networks to numerically verify the Svetitsky-Yaffe conjecture for the deconfinement transition in (2+1)-dimensional lattice gauge theories by extracting universal CFT data and identifying an intermediate phase with emergent U(1) symmetry in the case.
This paper establishes a connection between the weakly-coupled ultraviolet behavior of large Yang-Mills theory and the dynamics of highly energetic confining strings by analyzing Polyakov loop correlators to derive asymptotic spectral densities and impose causality-based bounds on the scattering data of Goldstone modes.
This study investigates how uncorrelated quenched disorder affects the phase diagram and critical behavior of three-dimensional lattice gauge Higgs models, revealing that while weak disorder preserves the two-phase structure, random-plaquette disorder alters the universality class of the topological transition, whereas random-site disorder destabilizes the Ising transition, each leading to distinct critical exponents.
Using the Born-Oppenheimer approximation within a dynamical diquark model, this study identifies the states as compact tetraquarks composed of axial-vector diquark pairs, supported by calculated root-mean-square radii significantly smaller than 1 fm.
This paper investigates the multi-particle states of the (1+1)-dimensional Ising model using a tensor renormalization group-based spectroscopy scheme to identify energy eigenstates, determine particle numbers, and compute two-particle scattering phase shifts that align with exact predictions.
This paper presents state-of-the-art theoretical predictions for the electromagnetic Dirac form factors of hyperons by computing next-to-leading-order QCD corrections within the hard-collinear factorization framework and combining them with lattice QCD-determined distribution amplitudes.
