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.

Below are the latest papers in this dynamic field, ready for you to explore with clarity and depth.
This study demonstrates that hadronic regeneration of mesons from -meson collisions during the hadronic break-up phase in Pb+Pb collisions significantly contributes to the final observed yields, implying that regeneration must be accounted for in models and making it difficult to distinguish between regeneration occurring at hadronization versus during final-state interactions.
This paper proposes and constrains a generalized "Power law -Starobinsky" inflation model by combining power-law and -Starobinsky features, finding that it is mildly favored by CMB and LSS observations and remains consistent with current bounds.
This paper investigates how a polarized electron beam at the proposed "Chiral Belle" upgrade of Belle II can distinguish the spin and Lorentz structure of invisibly decaying dark bosons by analyzing the polarization dependence of the mono-photon production channel ().
This paper establishes that the two-dimensional Fourier transform of generalized parton distributions encodes distinct impact-parameter densities and parton-nucleon correlations depending on skewness, leading to universal rapidity-modified angular momentum identities and providing leading-twist GPD predictions validated by lattice data and applicable to future experiments at Jefferson Lab and the Electron Ion Collider.
This paper proposes using asymmetric beam energies at muon colliders to boost forward muons into detector acceptance, thereby overcoming shielding limitations and improving the reconstruction of vector boson fusion processes like VBF Higgs production.
This paper surveys approximately 70 rare and exclusive few-body Standard Model Higgs boson decays with branching fractions below , providing theoretical predictions, current experimental limits, and HL-LHC projections—including 20 newly computed channels—to guide future research in constraining couplings, probing flavor-changing processes, and estimating backgrounds for exotic physics.
This paper presents an analytic string-based framework for nucleon axial and helicity-flip generalized parton distributions that satisfies fundamental theoretical constraints, reproduces existing lattice QCD moments, and provides testable predictions for sea quark and gluon polarized moments at future facilities like Jefferson Lab and the EIC.
This paper proposes a quantum-optical framework that utilizes tunable squeezed vacuum states to significantly enhance or suppress nonlinear Compton scattering in intense laser fields, offering a new paradigm for controlling high-intensity light-matter interactions with currently accessible technology.
This paper demonstrates that a modified Double Logarithmic Approximation incorporating energy conservation accurately describes the inclusive charged-particle multiplicity distributions of quark- and gluon-initiated jets in 13 TeV $pp$ collisions, showing consistency with both ATLAS experimental data and PYTHIA simulations.
This study demonstrates that strong gravitational lensing observations can detect dark matter subhalos with steep inner density profiles at masses over an order of magnitude lower than standard NFW subhalos, a capability that remains robust even when accounting for complex lens galaxy mass models, thereby offering a powerful tool for distinguishing between Cold Dark Matter and alternative dark matter theories.
