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 provides quantitative evidence that the meson undergoes kinetic freeze-out earlier than bulk hadrons in central Pb-Pb collisions at TeV due to its OZI-suppressed interaction cross section, as demonstrated by a statistically significant deviation in its freeze-out parameters from the bulk.
This Letter presents the first fully differential next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD calculation for boosted Higgs-strahlung off a boson, revealing approximately corrections and reducing theoretical scale uncertainties to below the percent level to significantly advance the Higgs precision program.
This paper presents the first three-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations of cosmological first-order phase transitions in an expanding background, revealing that cosmic expansion unexpectedly induces highly nonlinear growth in the gravitational wave energy fraction, leading to a significant to amplification of the spectra, particularly for initially weak transitions.
This paper reviews the collaboration that established the first rigorous proof of the hydrogen molecule's stability in quantum mechanics, while also examining related issues such as symmetry breaking, stability domains of Coulombic few-body systems, and applications to exotic hadrons.
This paper proposes that imaginary magnetic fields induce non-Hermitian dynamics in hadronic systems, revealing the existence of exceptional points in neutral meson mass spectra that separate real and complex eigenvalue regimes and signal a field-induced deconfinement transition.
This study investigates how finite baryon density and transverse expansion within conformal Gubser flow delay the chemical equilibration of a quark-gluon plasma, resulting in a chemically undersaturated medium that suppresses overall thermal photon yields while enhancing early-time high- photon production.
Particle cosmology integrates the physics of fundamental particles with the study of the cosmos, utilizing the early Universe as a high-energy laboratory and cosmological observations to test theoretical frameworks like inflation, baryogenesis, and Dark Matter.
This paper presents the first next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD predictions for production at the LHC, achieved by explicitly evaluating the necessary two-loop amplitudes in the generalised leading-colour limit to address discrepancies between observed rates and Standard Model predictions.
This paper investigates how generalized no-scale inflationary models, characterized by modified field space curvature or non-minimal couplings, can overcome the suppression of inflaton decays to Standard Model fields to enable efficient reheating and yield distinct predictions for the spectral index and tensor-to-scalar ratio.
This thesis applies the effective theory of combined chiral and heavy quark symmetry (HHChPT) to predict rare radiative charm decays within the Standard Model and MSSM frameworks, estimates quenched lattice artifacts in B-meson transitions, and provides technical clarifications including explicit scalar function calculations and modified renormalization group evolutions for next-to-leading order Wilson coefficients.
