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.

Hyperon non-leptonic decays in relativistic Chiral Perturbation Theory with resonances

This paper presents the first relativistic next-to-leading order Chiral Perturbation Theory calculation of non-leptonic hyperon decays, explicitly incorporating loop corrections and resonance saturation for low-energy constants to achieve a successful fit of both ss- and pp-wave amplitudes while highlighting the crucial role of resonances.

Baryogenesis in SU(2)LSU(2)_{L} multiplet models

This paper demonstrates that baryogenesis via sphalerogenesis can be successfully realized in Standard Model extensions featuring new SU(2)LSU(2)_L multiplet fields (such as fermionic quintuplets and septuplets) with TeV-scale masses and CP-violating Yukawa interactions, yielding a phenomenologically viable and testable scenario consistent with current electron electric dipole moment limits and future collider searches.

Sensitivity study of Kˉ1(1270)\bar{K}_1(1270) decay dynamics using four DKˉ1(1270)(Kˉππ)e+νD\to \bar{K}_1(1270)(\to \bar K\pi\pi)e^+\nu decay channels

This paper presents a sensitivity study using the BESIII experiment to propose a model-independent method for determining the branching fraction of Kˉ1(1270)\bar{K}_1(1270) decays into three-body final states by simultaneously analyzing four specific semileptonic DD-meson decay channels.

Renormalization-group-improved constraints on dimension-7 baryon-number-violating operators

This paper demonstrates that incorporating full renormalization-group running effects, particularly through Yukawa mixings, enables stringent constraints on all 297 dimension-7 baryon-number-violating SMEFT Wilson coefficients from nucleon decay data, significantly extending the reach beyond the first and second fermion generations compared to tree-level analyses.
