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 updates the analysis of minimal supersymmetric SO(10) grand unification with a universal soft spectrum, revealing that only a narrow "mini-split" region with heavy multi-TeV scalars and specific parameters survives a global scan of experimental constraints, making the model testable by future proton decay and electroweakino searches.
This paper demonstrates that Physics-Informed Classical and Quantum Neural Networks can accurately solve one-dimensional time-independent Schrödinger eigenvalue problems for harmonic and square well potentials without supervised data, with the quantum approach showing superior convergence reliability for higher excited states compared to classical methods and traditional numerical solvers.
This paper computes the gravitational wave spectrum from a global cosmic string network in the scaling regime by analytically deriving the infrared contribution from both long strings and loops using a generalized unconnected segment model, and employing a data-driven method to model the ultraviolet regime, ultimately mapping current and future constraints on the axion symmetry-breaking scale and mass.
This paper presents Bayesian evidence favoring a continuous, boundary-free crossover between hadronic and quark matter in cold dense environments over conventional first-order or fixed-boundary transitions, revealing a large chiral-invariant nucleon mass and a small quark pairing gap that ensure physical self-consistency across both phases.
This study investigates the potential of boosted decision trees to improve invisible dark boson selection at the Electron-Ion Collider compared to optimized rectangular cuts, finding that while machine learning offers no consistent advantage using only electron information, it provides a slight improvement when nuclear four-momentum transfer () is included.
This paper proposes that the Larmor spin precession of polarized heavy quarks (charm and bottom) in the strong magnetic fields of relativistic heavy-ion collisions generates measurable charge-dependent polarization splittings in their hadronic decay products, offering a novel quantitative probe to determine the lifetime and profile of these magnetic fields.
This paper employs dynamical systems analysis and Bayesian inference on Type Ia Supernovae, BAO, and Planck 2018 data to show that a supergravity-motivated axio-dilaton dark energy model with a curved field-space metric can explain cosmic acceleration but is only marginally preferred over the standard CDM model.
This paper proposes a novel strategy using CMS data parking and scouting techniques combined with tracker-based reconstruction of merged photon pairs to overcome trigger thresholds and resolve boosted decays, thereby enabling the first sensitivity to light axion-like particles in the 10 MeV–10 GeV mass range through vector boson fusion.
By implementing finite-temperature field theory calculations of resonant plasmon conversion into the MESA stellar evolution code to self-consistently model red giant cores, this study establishes the tightest constraints to date on light scalar-electron couplings and Higgs portal mixing angles by comparing simulated tip of the red giant branch magnitudes with observations of 27 Milky Way globular clusters.
This paper quantifies how black holes act as frequency-dependent filters for stochastic gravitational waves, demonstrating that while horizon absorption and superradiance can theoretically distort or amplify signals, these effects are negligible for cosmological populations and are most likely observable only in rare, nearby, or specifically aligned systems.
