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 that enhancing direct detection sensitivity for inelastic Higgsino dark matter is achievable by utilizing heavy elements around detectors and accounting for terrestrial radioactivity and the Large Magellanic Cloud's influence on dark matter velocity, potentially allowing experiments like JUNO and SNO+ to cover the remaining supersymmetric parameter space.
This paper investigates chiral gravitational waves generated by a parity-violating term in teleparallel gravity from inflation through reheating, demonstrating how these signals produce distinct CMB correlations detectable by LiteBIRD and enhanced high-frequency amplitudes accessible to future resonant cavity experiments, thereby offering a unique multi-frequency probe of early Universe parity violation.
This paper proposes a purely inelastic scalar dark matter model that simultaneously explains the observed relic abundance, predicts detectable gravitational waves from a first-order phase transition, and offers long-lived particle signatures at the HL-LHC, creating a unique multi-messenger scenario for experimental validation.
This paper investigates active-sterile neutrino polarizability as a dimension-7 effective operator, deriving new constraints from neutrino-nucleus scattering and demonstrating that a light mediator realization of this interaction can explain the MiniBooNE low-energy excess while satisfying other experimental limits.
This paper demonstrates that a single microwave cavity operating with a background magnetic field can function as a multi-mode detector array, enabling the localization and reconstruction of high-frequency gravitational wave properties—such as polarization and frequency drift—through the distinct antenna patterns of its nearly degenerate electromagnetic modes, thereby enhancing sensitivity to astrophysical sources.
This paper proposes that a transient violation of the null energy condition during inflation generates primordial black holes and a distinctive, multi-component stochastic gravitational wave background—encompassing primordial, scalar-induced, ringdown, and binary merger signals—that can be probed through future multi-band observations to constrain inflationary physics.
This paper proposes a cosmological model satisfying the Covariant Entropy Bound where early-universe tiny black holes decay to generate the radiation-dominated era and CMB observations, while a distribution of larger primordial black holes and their Planck-scale remnants account for dark matter and the formation of early galaxies observed by the James Webb Space Telescope.
Using spin measurements from the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA GWTC-5 catalog of 257 binary black hole mergers, this study finds no evidence for superradiant axion clouds, thereby excluding axion masses between and eV at 95% confidence and providing one of the most robust lower bounds on the QCD axion mass to date.
This paper investigates the production and constraints of dipole dark matter in both standard and reheating-induced cosmological scenarios, highlighting neutron star heating as a sensitive probe for its momentum-dependent interactions.
This paper presents the first next-to-leading order matching of QCD quark-antiquark currents onto two- and three-particle two-jet operators in soft-collinear effective theory up to second order in the power expansion, demonstrating endpoint factorization to ensure the consistent cancellation of singularities for power corrections in two-jet processes.
