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 a new classical mechanism where the gravitational collapse of dense boson stars in a false vacuum can trigger the nucleation of true vacuum bubbles, thereby inducing a cosmological phase transition even in vacua that are stable against quantum tunneling.
This paper proposes a novel grand unified framework based on a non-regular embedding that successfully recovers the Standard Model while naturally suppressing proton decay, accommodating a secluded dark matter sector via a confining gauge group, and ensuring cosmological viability through monopole dilution.
This paper numerically investigates the formation and relaxation of wave dark matter halos on a background of neutrino condensate, finding that while the condensate influences halo dynamics depending on the cutoff parameter, the two species can coexist with marginal differences for cutoff values around a few eV.
Using Planck data, this paper conducts the first cosmological collider searches for primordial non-Gaussianity mediated by heavy scalar particles, finding no evidence for masses near the Hubble scale but reporting a global hint of non-zero non-Gaussianity for parametrically heavier particles excited by a chemical potential.
This paper proposes a crowdsourcing approach to detect ultralight axions by analyzing the collective gravitational wave signals from axion clouds around the entire population of black holes in the Milky Way and the universe, demonstrating that current and future detectors like LIGO, Einstein Telescope, and Cosmic Explorer can robustly probe axion masses in the range of to eV.
This paper demonstrates that while certain non-minimal interactions in effective field theories induce a negative one-loop renormalization group running of Wilson coefficients, gravitational loops generate dominant positive infrared contributions that preserve dispersive bounds, provided the number of non-minimally coupled particles respects the species bound.
This paper implements next-to-leading order QCD corrections for the process within the ggxy framework, augmented with leptonic decays and an interface to POWHEG to enable parton shower simulations using Pythia.
This paper analyzes the phenomenological viability of primordial micro black holes as dark matter in modified gravity scenarios, concluding that while neutron star survival provides the strongest constraints, specific parameter regions remain consistent with observations and offer testable signatures through pulsar anomalies, neutrino emissions, and merger-induced bursts.
This paper proposes a quintessential inflation model within metric-affine gravity, where non-minimal couplings with the Holst invariant generate a quasi-pole behavior that successfully unifies early inflation and late-time dark energy while predicting a narrow, testable range for the scalar spectral index () consistent with observational constraints.
This paper introduces a differentiable, multi-scale Effective Field Theory framework that integrates renormalization-group evolution, matching, and experimental constraints to enable efficient gradient-based inference in large parameter spaces, as demonstrated through comprehensive 374-parameter SMEFT analyses.
