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 study demonstrates that including a dynamical charm quark and utilizing a mixed action setup yield light hadron properties consistent with standard 2+1 flavor calculations, with the mixed action's discretization errors potentially canceling out to improve continuum extrapolation convergence.
This paper introduces a novel quantum error mitigation scheme for NISQ devices that utilizes a polynomial subset of extended BBGKY hierarchy equations as a sampling criterion to effectively recover real-time chiral dynamics in the Schwinger model with polynomial resource overhead.
This paper presents optimized quantum simulation algorithms for scalar field theories using finite volume approaches and various fault-tolerant techniques, demonstrating that physically meaningful scattering process simulations are feasible with approximately 4 million physical qubits and T-gates, placing them within the reach of near-term quantum hardware capabilities comparable to leading chemistry simulations.
This review examines the fundamental principles of thermal field theory in a background magnetic field, focusing on equilibrium systems to analyze bulk thermodynamic properties and real-time observables relevant to the thermo-magnetic QCD plasma in heavy-ion collisions.
This paper defends Large-Momentum Effective Theory (LaMET) against recent claims that it suffers from an unquantifiable inverse problem, arguing that physics-guided systematic extrapolation remains the most reliable method for estimating uncertainties in parton distribution calculations even when lattice data precision is suboptimal.
This paper reviews how recent advancements in Large Momentum Effective Theory (LaMET), including improved renormalization schemes, higher-order matching kernels, and novel lattice operators, are enhancing the precision and reliability of first-principles lattice QCD calculations for proton parton distributions.
This paper demonstrates that the Wilson formulation of fermions in lattice gauge theory unifies the description of chiral anomalies by showing how the discrete Dirac operator's eigenvalue structure, specifically the collision of complex pairs outside the perturbative region, facilitates transitions between topological sectors.
This paper calculates the leading-order mixed-action chiral perturbation theory constant using -flavor lattice ensembles, revealing that the fermion action dominates the results while the gauge action has a measurable secondary effect and charm quark loops are negligible.
This paper presents the first lattice calculation of a two-to-two particle matrix element using pionless effective field theory to demonstrate that while finite-volume formalism is unnecessary for deep-bound states, it is critical for accurately determining the infinite-volume elastic form factors and charge radii of shallow-bound states like the deuteron.
This paper demonstrates that symmetry-twisted partition functions computed via the tensor renormalization group framework effectively detect spontaneous symmetry breaking in three-dimensional models, determine the BKT transition in two dimensions, and successfully identify phase transitions in generalized two-dimensional models.
