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.

Assessing boundedness from below in the Z2×Z2\mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathbb{Z}_2-symmetric three-Higgs-doublet model: algorithm and machine learning

This paper presents a Mathematica code named StableWein and a machine-learning tool to assess the boundedness from below of the Z2×Z2\mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathbb{Z}_2-symmetric three-Higgs-doublet model by iteratively applying necessary conditions and achieving over 99% classification accuracy.

Semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering on a polarized spin-1 target. II. Deuteron and spectator nucleon tagging

This paper develops a light-front theoretical framework for semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering on a polarized deuteron with spectator nucleon tagging, deriving tagged structure functions and spin asymmetries that highlight the role of the deuteron's D-wave component and provide essential tools for future experiments at Jefferson Lab and the Electron-Ion Collider.

Regge spectral generator and form factors from hard exclusive amplitudes in holographic QCD

This paper demonstrates that in holographic light-front QCD, a tower of hard exclusive amplitudes with a Poisson-distributed Fock expansion generates a spectral function G(α,λ)G(\alpha,\lambda) that encodes the full Regge spectrum and provides an analytic representation of physical form factors invariant under continuous deformations of the average parton multiplicity.

Spin polarization and quantum entanglement of baryon-antibaryon pairs produced in electron-positron annihilation

This paper presents a fully analytical framework for calculating spin density matrices in cascade decays of baryon-antibaryon pairs produced in electron-positron annihilation, revealing that maximal parity violation yields fully polarized but non-entangled final states, while $CP$-conserving charge-conjugate decays of polarized pairs generically exhibit quantum entanglement amplification.
