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 investigates a freeze-in Dark Matter scenario mediated by a heavy scalar leptoquark interacting with both the Standard Model and Dark Matter sectors, numerically exploring the resulting relic density constraints across a parameter space defined by two masses and three dimensionless couplings.
This paper provides a brief overview of tensor-polarized parton distribution functions for spin-1 hadrons, covering leading-twist structure functions, gluon transversity, higher-twist distributions, and related transverse-momentum-dependent functions up to twist 4 in the context of upcoming deuteron experiments.
This paper investigates how the combined next-generation long-baseline experiments DUNE and T2HK can robustly test residual-symmetry-fixed column predictions of the lepton mixing matrix, particularly by resolving non-trivial correlations between the atmospheric mixing angle and the Dirac CP phase that remain after initial JUNO constraints.
This paper theoretically demonstrates and numerically calculates that nuclear modifications to the longitudinal-transverse structure function ratio in the deuteron, arising from transverse Fermi motion, are of the order of a few percent and should be accounted for in high-energy nuclear data analysis and future experimental investigations.
This paper establishes a quantitative framework demonstrating that ultra-peripheral heavy-ion collisions via Drell-Söding pion-pair production generate interference-induced entanglement, which manifests as a measurable second-harmonic azimuthal asymmetry in momentum space, thereby offering a robust experimental signature of quantum coherence in relativistic environments.
This paper analyzes the role of symmetry energy in neutron and hybrid stars, demonstrating that a low-density onset of stiff quark matter in hybrid stars helps reconcile GW170817 and NICER observations while suggesting the binary system may consist of such hybrid stars or exhibit a quarkyonic crossover.
Inspired by recent global fits, this paper proposes a simple algebraic relation between neutrino mass-squared differences that facilitates the determination of absolute neutrino masses and suggests the possibility of a vanishing first neutrino mass.
The paper proposes GALILEO, a novel experimental method using a high-precision resonant Michelson interferometer to detect light dark matter by measuring the oscillation-induced changes in the refractive index of electro-optical materials, thereby exploring a previously uncharted mass range beyond the capabilities of traditional microwave cavity haloscopes.
This paper investigates how the differential Galactic acceleration of double white dwarf binaries affects their gravitational wave frequency chirps as observed by LISA, demonstrating how these measurements can be used to refine parameter estimation and map the distribution of matter in the Milky Way.
This paper proposes using Noether's second theorem, rather than the first, to derive unique and physically consistent energy-momentum and spin currents for free massive Dirac particles, thereby resolving the ambiguities typically associated with pseudogauge transformations in relativistic spin hydrodynamics.
