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 demonstrates that precision measurements at Higgs factories can detect signatures of composite Higgs models with top quark partners heavier than 3 TeV, primarily through significant deviations in the top quark's electroweak couplings, specifically its interaction with the Z boson.
This paper investigates the production of tau lepton pairs in PbPb collisions at the FCC-hh to establish 95% C.L. exclusion limits and 3 and 5 sensitivity projections for the tau lepton's anomalous magnetic and electric dipole moments, comparing these future prospects with constraints from other colliders.
This paper proposes a field-theoretical framework, analogous to the BEC-BCS crossover in ultracold atoms, to explain the hadron-quark crossover in dense matter by demonstrating that a tripling fluctuation effect naturally reproduces key quarkyonic features such as the speed of sound peak and baryon momentum-shell structure.
This paper applies resurgence theory to the 't Hooft-Polyakov monopole, demonstrating that its differential equations admit a uniformly convergent global perturbative expansion around simple universal non-perturbative backgrounds, thereby providing precise analytic control over the monopole's profile functions and numerical parameters for any coupling ratio.
This paper investigates single Higgs production at a 125 GeV XFEL Compton collider, demonstrating that a novel deep learning framework combined with a genetic algorithm can achieve significantly higher sensitivity in signal-background discrimination than traditional methods, thereby enabling precise Higgs sector probing and new physics opportunities complementary to proposed machines.
This study compares the longitudinal deposition of conserved quantities in the string-based SMASH and saturation-based McDipper initial condition models across a wide range of collision energies, revealing significant discrepancies in energy and baryon deposition at higher center-of-mass energies despite good agreement at lower energies.
This paper proposes a new fundamental mechanism where the optical Magnus effect, through helicity-dependent transverse shifts in gravitational lensing, induces circular polarization in the cosmic microwave background from temperature fluctuations, although the resulting signal remains far below current detection capabilities.
Using lattice QCD with ensembles at a pion mass of approximately 292 MeV, this study determines finite-volume energies of two-nucleon systems in the and channels and extracts scattering amplitudes via Lüscher's method and the Non-Perturbative Hamiltonian framework, revealing that both the deuteron and di-neutron channels exhibit virtual state poles with binding energies of MeV and MeV, respectively.
This paper employs a shift-symmetric effective field theory to map axion dark radiation from reheating, revealing that competing inflaton decay and annihilation channels scale oppositely with the reheating temperature to produce a two-dimensional constraint map that can establish both lower and upper bounds on the reheating temperature using current and projected measurements.
This study uses stellar kinematics from the dwarf galaxy Leo II to constrain the two-dimensional parameter space of self-interacting fuzzy dark matter, revealing that attractive (repulsive) self-interactions lead to more concentrated (diffuse) density profiles and establishing 95% confidence lower limits on the particle mass within the range of for interaction strengths up to .
