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.

This paper introduces a differentiable, multi-scale Effective Field Theory framework that integrates renormalization-group evolution, matching, and experimental constraints to enable efficient gradient-based inference in large parameter spaces, as demonstrated through comprehensive 374-parameter SMEFT analyses.
This paper proposes a method for simulating lattice gauge theories coupled to fermionic matter on fault-tolerant quantum computers by regularizing the gauge fields using braided fusion categories and providing explicit quantum circuit constructions for the necessary anyonic and gates.
This paper argues that if the zeros replacing mirror fermion poles in symmetric mass generation phases are "kinematical" singularities, then a one-particle lattice Hamiltonian can be constructed to which the Nielsen-Ninomiya theorem applies, thereby enforcing a vector-like massless spectrum and challenging the feasibility of generating chiral fermions via this method.
This paper proposes a framework combining lattice QCD inputs with first-order symmetry breaking to predict specific branching ratio measurements for semileptonic decays that can definitively determine whether the observed large symmetry breaking stems from unexpected hadronic mechanisms or new physics.
This paper introduces a robust discrete formulation for computing the three-dimensional winding number of smooth maps to using -gaps, offering both a practical unmodified flux for fine grids and a modified flux that strictly guarantees integer quantization even in the presence of degeneracies.
This paper calculates the tensor-polarized twist-3 parton distribution function for the spin-1 deuteron by applying twist-2 relations to the known twist-2 function , demonstrating that is comparable in magnitude to and suggesting that current and future facilities like JLab and the EIC are well-suited to investigate these higher-twist effects.
Using QCD sum rules with nonperturbative effects up to dimension twelve, this paper investigates light double-gluon hybrid mesons to determine the masses and current couplings of various , , and configurations with specific quantum numbers, providing theoretical predictions to guide future experimental searches.
This paper presents preliminary results on the electric polarizability of charged pions calculated using nHYP four-point functions with dynamical actions, smaller pion masses, and variable lattice sizes to improve upon previous quenched Wilson action studies.
This paper details the mathematical framework and numerical implementation for computing the elliptic three-loop Feynman integrals required for the hadronic vacuum polarization calculation in chiral perturbation theory, enabling fast and accurate evaluation for arbitrary complex photon virtualities.
This paper derives a fluctuation-dissipation relation for an energetic light quark in a non-perturbative thermal gluon plasma by connecting the longitudinal drag coefficient to longitudinal and transverse diffusion coefficients and the thermal gluon condensate through complex-valued transport functions and contour-integration techniques.
