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 presents new indirect detection constraints on the axion mass and axion-photon coupling by analyzing the potential conversion of a cosmic axion background into an isotropic gamma-ray flux within cosmological filaments, thereby excluding significant parameter space for GeV-TeV dark matter decays.
This paper constructs the soft gluon light-cone wave function and the associated unitary evolution operator up to next-to-leading order in pure Yang-Mills theory within the Color Glass Condensate framework, demonstrating how diagonalizing the soft Hamiltonian cancels off-diagonal Fock sector mixing to yield a coherent background field energy proportional to the valence color charge density squared.
This paper demonstrates that the triple-collinear splitting function in a finite QCD medium factorizes into a tensor product of momentum-shifted vacuum and medium-modified splitting functions across three distinct strongly ordered limits, thereby extending the vacuum factorization property to medium-induced radiation and providing a foundation for improved jet-quenching parton showers.
This paper presents constraints on inelastic dark matter with large mass splittings (up to 510–780 keV) using a 32.4 g·day exposure from the RES-NOVA PbWO4 cryogenic detector, which extends direct-detection sensitivity beyond the reach of current xenon-based technologies by leveraging heavy nuclei and a broad recoil-energy range.
This paper employs a Bayesian global fit incorporating next-to-leading-order unitarity constraints and experimental data to demonstrate that parameter regions in the Type-II Two-Higgs-Doublet Model allowing for a metastable electroweak vacuum are excluded at both tree and one-loop levels.
The GUEST mission proposes a 30-year passive satellite laser-ranging concept using two dense spheres in highly eccentric Earth orbits to detect microhertz gravitational waves and simultaneously advance research in fundamental physics, cosmology, and geodesy.
This paper employs a non-perturbative field-theory approach to map the finite-temperature phase diagram of the chiral Ising Gross-Neveu-Yukawa model, demonstrating emergent relativistic symmetry at the zero-temperature quantum critical point, a classical two-dimensional Ising transition at finite temperature, and characterizing the scaling properties of the resulting quantum critical fan.
This paper constrains the parameter space of the Plan B Model, which introduces a TeV-scale to explain fermion mass features and transitions, by re-analyzing LHC direct searches and differential cross-section measurements to identify excluded regions and project the discovery potential of the High-Luminosity LHC.
This paper investigates how Swampland Conjectures influence the preheating of string moduli by demonstrating that the refined de Sitter Conjecture's local potential curvature and the Swampland Distance Conjecture's tower of light states collectively govern resonance efficiency and instability dynamics, respectively.
This paper maps the detectability of cosmological stasis scenarios in the inflationary gravitational wave background across current and future observatories, demonstrating that the BBO mission can probe the entire parameter space for suppressed spectra while also characterizing Standard Model-induced spectral steps and validating the testability of consistency relations despite finite-width transition effects.
