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 derives non-trivial linear and non-linear positivity bounds that define a spectrahedral geometry for the complete dimension-eight effective field theory of photons and a massless dark photon, analyzing how specific UV completions populate this geometric structure.
This paper demonstrates that quantum anomalies manifest in charge-flux detector correlators through a singular localization mechanism where massless limits collapse angular distributions onto beam-collinear directions, thereby preserving finite energy-weighted sum rules for axial-charge, higher-spin helicity (zilch), and mixed axial-gravitational fluxes.
This paper presents an observable-driven study demonstrating that angular observables, particularly the forward-backward asymmetry and a newly proposed interference-normalized quantity, offer robust sensitivity to leptophilic gauge interactions mediated by a boson at future colliders, even in off-shell regimes where interference effects dominate over resonant enhancements. The leptophilic gauge boson is not restricted to electrons and muons alone, but more generally couples to leptons, depending on the specific model.
This paper proposes a technically natural model where a -symmetric axion coupled to multiple dark QCD sectors generates apparent phantom dark energy and dark matter, with the axion initially trapped by dark-pion density and later released to drive an evolving equation of state consistent with DESI observations.
This paper employs a hybrid transverse momentum dependent approach to confirm the universality of the Collins function by successfully describing STAR proton-proton collision data and subsequently provides leading-order predictions for Electron-Ion Collider kinematics, demonstrating that quasireal photon exchange effects, while sizable, do not hinder the clear extraction of the transversity distribution and its sea-quark component in lepton-proton collisions.
This paper demonstrates that weakly supervised machine learning offers a model-agnostic strategy for identifying anomalous -ray sources and new phenomena, such as dark matter subhalos or axion-photon oscillations, by training classifiers on samples with varying signal admixtures rather than relying on fully labeled signal models.
This paper proposes a Starobinsky supergravity framework coupled to the MSSM that simultaneously explains the observed Higgs boson mass through three-loop renormalization-group evolution and predicts a 3 TeV thermal wino dark matter candidate with a disappearing-track signature detectable by future 100 TeV colliders.
This paper presents a comprehensive algebraic framework for three-flavor neutrino oscillations in constant-density matter by deriving exact closed-form evolution operators via the Cayley--Hamilton theorem, validating the high-precision DMP approximation as a resummation that resolves near-degeneracies, and providing analytic Jacobians for robust uncertainty propagation in global fits.
This paper reassesses constraints on heavy axion-like particles (ALPs) using gamma-ray bursts, demonstrating that while ALP production is less efficient than previously thought, the resulting secondary fireball from ALP decay offers a novel pathway to probe -scale ALPs via isotropic X-ray or MeV gamma-ray emissions.
This paper proposes a "neutrino cuboid" parametrization for the normal mass ordering that, in its cubic limit, naturally accommodates nearly degenerate neutrino masses and tribimaximal flavor mixing, offering a testable ansatz linking deviations in mixing angles to the neutrino mass-squared differences.
