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 proposes a quark-meson framework incorporating temperature-dependent quark masses and anomalous magnetic moments to reconcile lattice QCD magnetic susceptibility data with theoretical models, demonstrating that quark degrees of freedom must emerge significantly below the QCD cross-over temperature (around 120 MeV) to explain the observed paramagnetism.
This paper demonstrates that the CERN SHiP experiment can probe sequential freeze-in dark matter mediated by dark photons with masses between and $10$ GeV, predicting a specific dark charge and a narrow mixing parameter range () that survives current constraints while remaining testable via proton bremsstrahlung signals.
This paper investigates a relativistic self-gravitating equilibrium system with slow steady flow by developing a perturbative framework to derive differential equations for structural corrections and proposing a new condition that uniquely determines the unconventional form of the entropy current and its leading-order parameter.
This paper demonstrates that while naive extrapolations of microphysical absorption rates suggest ultralight bosons could rapidly drain neutron star rotational energy via superradiance, accounting for collective multiple-scattering effects in dense nuclear matter significantly suppresses these rates, thereby reconciling stellar cooling constraints with superradiance stability.
This paper demonstrates that the VCDM framework of minimally modified gravity, when combined with current cosmological data and an extended neutrino sector, robustly accommodates neutrino constraints while predicting a stable late-time dark energy transition that significantly alleviates the tension.
This paper investigates a supersymmetric effective field theory where an axion-like particle acquires a naturally heavy mass primarily from soft supersymmetry-breaking effects, analyzing its resulting spectrum and phenomenological implications for laboratory, astrophysical, and cosmological observations without relying on a specific ultraviolet completion.
This paper investigates the semileptonic decay using a phenomenological quark model combined with Heavy Quark Effective Theory to calculate form factors, decay rates, and the lepton flavor universality ratio, finding results consistent with existing theoretical predictions.
This paper generalizes the calculation of relativistic and recoil corrections to light-fermion vacuum polarization for bound systems composed of spin-0, spin-1/2, and spin-1 particles, providing energy corrections of order for various systems including pionium, muonic hydrogen, and deuteronium.
This paper proposes that if primordial black holes constitute a significant fraction of dark matter, their rare but impactful bombardment of the Oort cloud could dislodge protocomets at a frequency sufficient to explain the observed influx of comets into the inner solar system.
This paper demonstrates that training helicity-conditioned Continuous Normalizing Flows with Flow Matching significantly improves unweighting efficiency and reduces walltime for high-multiplicity Monte Carlo event generation in lepton-pair and top quark pair production at the Large Hadron Collider.
