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.
This paper extends the description of neutrino flavor oscillations to shorter propagation times by deriving an amplitude expression that reveals a threshold for the transition from virtual to real intermediate states, thereby demonstrating that the Jacob--Sachs theorem remains valid with higher accuracy than previously anticipated.
This paper constructs explicit Tachyon-Chern-Simons terms in the holographic V-QCD model for generic complex tachyon fields to ensure flavor anomaly consistency, demonstrating that baryon number equals the topological instanton number and that the resulting effective pion action reproduces the chiral Lagrangian with Skyrme and Wess-Zumino-Witten terms.
This paper demonstrates that future observations of neutronization-burst neutrinos from a nearby galactic supernova, such as Betelgeuse, using the DUNE detector can provide a sensitive probe for long-range forces by detecting observable distortions in the neutrino energy and time spectra caused by flavor-dependent ultralight gauge bosons.
This paper introduces "simplex demixing," a machine-learning framework that enables the data-driven extraction and operational definition of multiple light-flavor jet categories (such as up-quark, down-quark, and gluon jets) from collider data by identifying maximally separable features within a bounded geometric structure.
This paper proposes that classical gravitational waves, when treated as coherent states of quantized gravitons, can decay into photon pairs or light particles—a quantum process forbidden classically but enhanced by graviton number—thereby offering a novel detection method and enabling new cosmological constraints through the resulting photon injection.
This paper proposes a novel three-loop inverse scotogenic seesaw model extended by global and discrete symmetries that simultaneously explains light neutrino masses, baryon asymmetry via leptogenesis, and multi-component dark matter, while satisfying all current experimental constraints through a global numerical scan.
This paper employs an exactly solvable 1D crystal lattice model to demonstrate that the transition from coherent to incoherent dark matter-nucleus scattering is governed by the diminishing importance of crystal momentum conservation as multiphonon production increases, thereby validating the use of incoherent approximations for sub-GeV dark matter detection in realistic 3D crystals.
This paper investigates high-energy photon production in a quark-gluon plasma by deriving analytical expressions for both leading-logarithmic and beyond-leading-logarithmic contributions to the photon production rate using two-loop photon self-energies in thermal QCD, confirming consistency with kinetic theory calculations.
This paper argues that a fundamental rotational Unruh effect does not exist, attributing previous claims of its existence to the improper application of linear Unruh effect derivations via Lorentz boosts in reference frames that violate cylindrical symmetry and Poincaré invariance.
This paper argues that phenomena in high-energy nuclear collisions, previously attributed to quark-gluon plasma formation, are instead comprehensively explained by few-gluon interactions and multipole radiation without requiring a dense medium or hydrodynamic theory.
