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 study uses high-resolution numerical simulations to demonstrate that during gravitational collapse, small-scale dynamo action driven by turbulence can significantly amplify primordial magnetic fields and alter their spectra, provided the Reynolds number is sufficiently high and the Jeans scale is resolved to capture the competition between dynamo growth and free-fall times.
This paper argues that the nucleation temperature is an unreliable indicator for cosmological phase transition completion, especially under strong supercooling, and advocates for using the percolation temperature and model-independent bounds on bubble wall velocity to accurately predict transition progress and gravitational wave production.
This paper proposes that asteroid-mass solitons formed after baryogenesis can simultaneously explain the dark matter-baryon coincidence and neutrino masses, while predicting a unique, detectable gravitational wave signature from first-order phase transitions that distinguishes them from primordial black holes.
This paper establishes unified baseline predictions for di-hadron production (, , and ) in ultra-peripheral heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and LHC energies by applying the Equivalent Photon Approximation and fusion data to guide future experimental measurements.
This paper utilizes legacy Hubble Space Telescope and International Ultraviolet Explorer data to establish new, significantly improved upper limits on axion-like particle-photon couplings, particularly ruling out values above for masses between 12.4 and 14.5 eV.
This paper proposes a novel nonthermal leptogenesis mechanism where an inverse electroweak phase transition driven by TeV-scale vectorlike leptons triggers bubble expansion that produces these particles, whose subsequent CP-violating decays generate the observed baryon asymmetry while simultaneously explaining neutrino masses via the inverse seesaw mechanism.
This paper investigates how Froggatt-Nielsen flavor symmetries suppress dimension-five operators in PeV-scale supersymmetry to mitigate proton decay constraints, utilizing a Bayesian analysis of flavor, CP, and baryon-number-violating observables to define the theory's viable parameter space.
This paper presents an exploratory study demonstrating how a proposed second interaction region at the Electron-Ion Collider, featuring enhanced forward acceptance, would enable the detection of intact light nuclei to map their spatial parton distributions through coherent diffractive processes.
This paper presents a global determination of parton distribution functions that incorporates higher twist corrections for deep-inelastic scattering and linear power corrections for LHC jet data using a theory covariance formalism, demonstrating improved data description and perturbative convergence for key phenomenological observables like Higgs production and determination.
This paper presents a next-to-leading order NRQCD analysis of production in photon-photon collisions at the CEPC, demonstrating that the direct-photon channel dominates with negligible resolved contributions and that precise polarization measurements in this clean environment can effectively test LDME universality and resolve longstanding polarization puzzles.
