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 supersymmetric effective field theory where an axion-like particle acquires a naturally heavy mass primarily from soft supersymmetry-breaking effects, analyzing its resulting spectrum and phenomenological implications for laboratory, astrophysical, and cosmological observations without relying on a specific ultraviolet completion.
This paper investigates the semileptonic decay using a phenomenological quark model combined with Heavy Quark Effective Theory to calculate form factors, decay rates, and the lepton flavor universality ratio, finding results consistent with existing theoretical predictions.
This paper generalizes the calculation of relativistic and recoil corrections to light-fermion vacuum polarization for bound systems composed of spin-0, spin-1/2, and spin-1 particles, providing energy corrections of order for various systems including pionium, muonic hydrogen, and deuteronium.
This paper proposes that if primordial black holes constitute a significant fraction of dark matter, their rare but impactful bombardment of the Oort cloud could dislodge protocomets at a frequency sufficient to explain the observed influx of comets into the inner solar system.
This paper demonstrates that training helicity-conditioned Continuous Normalizing Flows with Flow Matching significantly improves unweighting efficiency and reduces walltime for high-multiplicity Monte Carlo event generation in lepton-pair and top quark pair production at the Large Hadron Collider.
This paper investigates whether the Planck PR4 CMB data's mild preference for dynamical dark energy in the CDM model is partially driven by residual excess smoothing in the anisotropy spectra, finding that while PR4 data reduce the CMB lensing anomaly compared to PR3, the observed evidence for evolving dark energy may still be influenced by these residual smoothing effects.
This paper revises the minimal real SO(10) Yukawa sector by correcting reality constraints on weak doublets, thereby establishing a general framework that successfully reproduces all Standard Model fermion masses and mixings while predicting a hierarchical right-handed neutrino spectrum and testable proton decay channels.
Using a coalescence model coupled with the MUSIC hybrid framework, this study investigates the elliptic and triangular flow of light (anti-)(hyper-)nuclei in Pb+Pb collisions at 5.36 TeV, revealing the breakdown of simple constituent scaling at high transverse momentum, the insensitivity of hypertriton flow to internal structure, and providing predictions for comparison with ALICE experimental data.
This paper presents the first calculation of tensor and axial-tensor mesons with total spin within the Covariant Spectator Theory, utilizing a refined quark-antiquark interaction kernel with momentum-dependent strong coupling to successfully describe the mass spectrum of heavy and heavy-light mesons using only eight adjustable parameters.
This paper proposes using forward-backward multiplicity asymmetry (FBMA) in uranium-uranium collisions as a robust control parameter to effectively disentangle the Chiral Magnetic Effect signal from flow-induced backgrounds by leveraging the correlation between FBMA and initial-state geometry while largely decoupling it from magnetic field correlations.
