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 introduces Fermi--Born--Infeld electrodynamics, a nonlinear theory that eliminates gauge redundancy by constructing a Lagrangian dependent on the four-potential rather than the field strength, thereby dynamically enforcing the Lorenz gauge and potentially stabilizing a massive scalar photon in strong-field regimes.
This paper extends a previous application of Moonshine to flavor physics by incorporating supersymmetry and modular symmetry to calculate lepton, quark, and superpartner masses using a single input per family, while predicting specific superpartner masses such as a super electron at 847 MeV and super quarks with distinct values potentially detectable at KEK and CERN LHC.
This paper derives a general isocurvature bound on the inflationary Hubble scale for a light QCD axion, demonstrating that the resulting constraints on the inflaton excursion and potential derivatives strongly favor specific low-scale inflation models with independent control over their parameters, such as hybrid and inflection-point scenarios.
This paper presents a systematic derivation of relativistic chiral magnetohydrodynamics equations for an expanding universe that, through specific rescaling, reduce to their Minkowski form while revealing new current-conservation-mandated terms and providing the necessary coefficients to evaluate magnetic field generation and dynamo operation in the early Universe's radiation-dominated era.
The paper introduces , an open-source Python package for computing solar neutrino rates in direct detection experiments, and demonstrates its application in deriving new constraints on non-standard neutrino interactions from current xenon-based detectors while projecting leading future sensitivities.
This paper investigates a geometric "neutrino cuboid" model linking neutrino masses to mixing angles, demonstrating that exact alignment predicts normal mass ordering with the atmospheric angle in the lower octant while revealing numerical instabilities in standard expansions and highlighting strong tensions with current cosmological mass bounds.
This paper demonstrates that axion inflation within the theoretically safer weak-backreaction regime, particularly during the non-instantaneous reheating phase where oscillating inflaton fields excite both gauge field helicity modes, can naturally generate strong high-frequency primordial gravitational wave signals relevant for future measurements and novel detector development.
This paper employs the perturbative QCD framework to analyze quasi-two-body decays of mesons into charmonium states () and pion or kaon-pion pairs via intermediate P-wave resonances, revealing that resonant production significantly enhances branching fractions and alters the relative yield ratios between charmonium modes compared to direct two-body decays.
This paper proposes a novel collider search for vector-like muons decaying through a dark sector into multilepton final states, identifying a six-muon channel with negligible background that can significantly extend the discovery reach for vector-like muon masses up to 1.9 TeV at the HL-LHC.
This paper proposes a chromomagnetic-induced inertia inversion (CII) mechanism within a holographic framework, calibrated against lattice QCD data, to explain how rotation enhances chromomagnetic string tension and causes an anomalous negative moment of inertia in pure gluonic matter at weak real rotation, while restoring conventional behavior at higher temperatures or angular velocities.
