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 reports the first experimental demonstration of using four-component cat states in a superconducting microwave cavity to search for dark photons, achieving an 8.1-fold signal enhancement and setting an unprecedented constraint on the kinetic mixing angle of near 6.44 GHz.
This paper proposes a minimal lepton parity dark matter model where a singlet Majorana fermion serves as the dark matter candidate, linking neutrino masses, dark matter stability, and a potentially observable stochastic gravitational wave background generated by the annihilation of naturally unstable domain walls arising from an accidental symmetry.
This paper introduces a "variational renormalization group" framework that combines renormalization group improvement with optimized perturbation theory to significantly reduce renormalization scale dependence in the thermal effective potential of scalar theory, thereby enhancing the precision of critical temperature and pressure predictions for applications in cosmology and condensed matter physics.
This paper interprets recent Belle II measurements of the decay within a Non-minimal Universal Extra Dimensional model, finding that the data elevates the lower limit on the inverse compactification radius to approximately 900 GeV, whereas a variant of the model with nullified boundary terms fails to yield a comparable constraint.
This paper investigates Higgs pair production via gluon fusion within the Higgs Effective Field Theory (HEFT) framework, demonstrating that a consistent power counting at next-to-leading order requires the inclusion of higher-dimensional operators and necessitates a critical re-evaluation of the kinematic benchmark scenarios used in experimental di-Higgs searches.
This paper demonstrates that in massless QED coupled to scaleless quadratic gravity, the physical running of the electric charge coincides with the conventional -running at one loop because the gravitational sector contributes only infrared-dominated soft logarithms that do not alter the gauge-independent UV beta function.
This paper demonstrates that in Hořava-Lifshitz gravity, the compactness gap between black holes and neutron stars can vanish for fermionic objects above a certain mass threshold, potentially blurring the classification of LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA detections and suggesting that fermions with a mass of approximately 40 GeV could constitute compact dark matter.
This paper investigates the gravitational production of decoupled scalars across various reheating scenarios, deriving constraints on their properties and demonstrating that while universal gravity effects do not necessarily invalidate non-thermal dark matter models for specific inflaton potentials, the reheating dynamics significantly influence relic abundance and impose stringent limits on scalar parameters.
This paper investigates a type-II seesaw model with -derived reflection symmetry, finding that while it predicts maximal atmospheric mixing and maximal CP violation, its specific prediction for is strongly disfavored by recent JUNO experimental results.
This paper utilizes OZI-suppressed coupled-channel scattering analysis within the effective range expansion framework to identify the as a dynamically generated pole and the as a hadronic molecule, thereby resolving empirical ambiguities and illuminating the roles of Fierz rearrangement and OZI suppression in low-energy strong interactions.
