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. We strip away the dense jargon to offer both accessible plain-language explanations and detailed technical summaries, ensuring that groundbreaking research is understandable to everyone from students to seasoned experts. Below are the latest papers in this dynamic field, ready for you to explore with clarity and depth.

Exotic TcsJT^*_{csJ} and TcsˉJT^*_{c\bar{s}J} states and coupled-channel scattering at the $SU(3)$ flavour symmetric point from lattice QCD

This lattice QCD study at the $SU(3)$ flavour symmetric point reveals attractive interactions and multiple pole singularities in the flavour-exotic 6\mathbf{6} sector, identifying JP=0+,1+,2+J^P = 0^+, 1^+, 2^+ partners of the experimentally observed Tcs0(2870)0T^*_{cs0}(2870)^0 and Tcsˉ0(2900)T^*_{c\bar{s}0}(2900) states, while finding only weak interactions without poles in the 15\overline{\mathbf{15}} sector.

Prospects of five-dimensional LμLτL_\mu-L_\tau gauge interactions in the light of elastic neutrino-electron scatterings: The scope of the DUNE near detector

This paper investigates the potential of the DUNE near detector to probe a five-dimensional U(1)LμLτU(1)_{L_\mu - L_\tau} gauge extension of the Standard Model, which addresses the muon (g2)(g-2) anomaly, by analyzing elastic neutrino-electron scattering data to explore MeV-scale parameter spaces and interference effects between multiple massive gauge bosons.

Study of 11^{--} P wave charmoniumlike and bottomoniumlike tetraquark spectroscopy

This paper calculates the masses and decay widths of 11^{--} P-wave charmonium-like and bottomonium-like tetraquark states using a constituent quark model, suggesting that the exotic Y states ψ(4230)\psi(4230), ψ(4360)\psi(4360), ψ(4660)\psi(4660), and Υ(10753)\Upsilon(10753) can be tentatively assigned as such tetraquark configurations.
