Hep-Ph explores the fundamental forces that govern how particles interact and behave at the smallest scales imaginable. This field bridges the gap between theoretical predictions and experimental reality, helping scientists understand the building blocks of our universe without getting lost in complex mathematics. Whether investigating the Higgs boson or searching for new physics beyond current models, these studies push the boundaries of human knowledge about matter and energy.
At Gist.Science, we process every new preprint in this category as soon as it appears on arXiv.

Below are the latest papers in this dynamic field, ready for you to explore with clarity and depth.
This paper investigates collective excitations in magnetic topological insulators and finds that one identified "axionic" quasi-particle has an electromagnetic coupling that is either unchanged or suppressed by up to two orders of magnitude compared to previous estimates, significantly altering the sensitivity prospects for axion dark matter searches using these materials.
This paper demonstrates that tensor perturbations generated during first-order cosmological phase transitions in a secluded dark sector can produce observable CMB B-mode signals comparable to inflationary predictions, potentially complicating the interpretation of future data but offering a way to distinguish the two scenarios through multi-scale measurements.
This paper investigates charged lepton flavor violating top quark flavor-changing neutral current interactions at the proposed TRISTAN collider, demonstrating that an integrated luminosity of could improve current LHC constraints on scalar, vector, and tensor four-fermion contact interactions by approximately an order of magnitude.
This paper investigates how present and future muon beam dump experiments can probe the five-dimensional nature of interactions by leveraging the enhanced signals from multiple Kaluza-Klein gauge bosons and their distinct decay channels to provide direct evidence for extra dimensions while constraining parameters via the muon anomaly.
This paper proposes a novel quantity derived from gravitational wave amplitude and frequency derivatives to extract dark matter density profiles around black holes, enabling multi-wavelength observations to probe dark sector properties and constrain primordial black hole origins.
This study utilizes the PACIAE 4.0 model, which incorporates both color-singlet and color-octet NRQCD contributions alongside cluster collapse and -hadron decays, to successfully simulate inclusive production in proton-proton collisions at 5.02, 7, and 13 TeV and provide a quantitative analysis of the relative contributions and rescattering effects across various production mechanisms.
This paper argues that the Kerr-Schild and twistorial double copy prescriptions are equivalent for a broad class of self-dual vacuum solutions, a claim demonstrated through elementary null Lorentz transformations and illustrated with the self-dual Kerr-Taub-NUT spacetime.
This paper investigates the sensitivity of the beam normal spin asymmetry in Bhabha scattering to beyond-the-Standard-Model mediators within the JLab polarized positron program, highlighting how the observable's unique zero crossing in the Standard Model provides a clean, background-free opportunity to significantly extend search ranges for scalar and vector new physics scenarios.
This paper utilizes Ultra-Relativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics (UrQMD) simulations to demonstrate that the three-dimensional two-pion emission source in intermediate-mass Ar+Sc collisions at SPS energies is well-described by Lévy-stable distributions, thereby establishing a theoretical baseline for future femtoscopy measurements in such systems.
This paper proposes a minimal extension of the Leptogenesis framework that links the generation of the baryon asymmetry and asymmetric dark matter through heavy Majorana neutrino decays, offering a testable TeV-scale mechanism that connects neutrino masses to observable direct detection signals.
