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.

Neutrino mass and mixing, resonant leptogenesis and charged lepton flavor violation in a minimal inverse seesaw model with S4S_4 symmetry

This paper proposes a minimal inverse seesaw model with S4S_4 symmetry, characterized by only three parameters, which successfully explains neutrino oscillation data, predicts a normal mass ordering with specific CP and mixing angles, and accounts for the observed baryon asymmetry and charged lepton flavor violation within experimental limits.

Toward decision-aware AI for LSST-scale time-domain astronomy

This paper argues that to manage the massive data volume of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory's LSST, time-domain astronomy must shift from static classification to a decision-aware AI framework that integrates foundation models with decision-theoretic policies to dynamically optimize follow-up actions and scientific value within an operational inference loop.
