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 predicts that the spin Hall effect in hot and dense QCD matter, induced by baryon chemical potential gradients in heavy-ion collisions, can be detected through the distinct sign and beam energy dependence of the second Fourier coefficients of net hyperon spin polarization using a (3+1)D viscous hydrodynamic model.
This paper proposes that the rethermalization of axion dark matter during the initial collapse of large-scale overdensities near cosmic dawn efficiently transports angular momentum outward, leading to the formation of supermassive black holes with masses ranging from to a few times for both QCD axions and heavier axion-like particles.
Using time-domain terahertz emission spectroscopy, researchers observed a dynamic magneto-chiral instability in photoexcited tellurium, where an electric current parallel to a magnetic field amplifies electromagnetic waves, offering a promising mechanism for THz-wave amplification in chiral materials.
This paper proposes a scale-symmetric extension of the Standard Model within Weyl geometry, demonstrating that while the resulting inflationary scenario is consistent with Planck 2018 constraints on the spectral index, it predicts an undetectably small tensor-to-scalar ratio and faces a unitarity cutoff below inflationary energy scales in regimes with strong coupling hierarchies.
This paper introduces a generalized definition of isothermal compressibility in (2+1)-flavor QCD based on conserved charge fluctuations, presenting lattice results that align with hadron resonance gas models and heavy-ion collision data while demonstrating that the compressibility on the pseudo-critical line closely resembles that of an ideal gas.
This paper demonstrates that embedding TeV-scale scalar leptoquarks, motivated by B-physics anomalies, into an SO(10) grand unified theory not only resolves the bottom-tau Yukawa unification problem but also naturally generates large flavor-violating leptoquark couplings from tiny GUT-scale perturbations through renormalization-group evolution.
This paper argues that optimizing jet classifiers solely for high performance metrics like accuracy or AUC can lead to models with low resilience and high model dependence, advocating instead for a balanced approach that considers the trade-offs inherent in the Pareto frontier of resilient jet tagging.
This paper employs dynamical systems analysis to demonstrate that an initial population of NS5-brane wrapped strings can resolve the cosmological overshoot problem for the volume modulus by transferring energy to it, while simultaneously predicting a potentially detectable gravitational wave signal from the resulting high energy density of cosmic superstrings during modulus oscillations.
This study utilizes Monte Carlo simulations based on the Color Glass Condensate formalism to demonstrate that multiplicity distributions in proton-proton and proton-lead collisions can distinguish between different initial-state proton geometries, specifically testing the three-quark Y-shape baryon junction model, while highlighting the critical importance of accounting for intrinsic saturation scale fluctuations.
This paper investigates inflation in composite pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson models where non-minimal coupling induces ultra-slow-roll dynamics, predicting the formation of ultra-light primordial black holes as potential dark matter candidates and a high-frequency gravitational wave signal that motivates the development of future detectors capable of probing currently inaccessible frequency regimes.
