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 proposes a radiative seesaw model that introduces a baryon-number-violating interaction to explain the origin of matter via non-thermal leptogenesis, resulting in a cosmological upper limit on neutron-antineutron oscillation times that is potentially detectable by upcoming experiments.
This paper demonstrates that if a symmetry responsible for generating light Dirac neutrino masses is spontaneously broken, it can radiatively induce the explicit breaking necessary to destabilize domain wall networks, thereby creating a predictable link between the Dirac neutrino mass scale and a detectable stochastic gravitational wave signal.
This paper investigates the internal structure of the meson using a quark model and proposes that its transverse momentum distributions and yields in relativistic heavy ion collisions can be used to distinguish whether it is a charmonium, a tetraquark, or a hadronic molecular state.
The paper proposes that dark matter originates from primordial black holes formed by regions of eternal inflation that failed to reheat, a mechanism that predicts a specific spectrum of curvature perturbations and a detectable stochastic gravitational wave background.
This paper presents EPOS4 model predictions for pp, O-O, and Pb-Pb collisions at LHC Run 3 energies, demonstrating that the dynamical core-corona approach and hadronic-phase effects (via UrQMD) are essential for describing the non-universal scaling of transverse momentum, identified-hadron spectra, and nuclear modification factors across different system sizes.
This paper calculates next-to-leading power QCD factorization expressions for the form factors and uses light-cone sum rules to estimate their soft contributions, demonstrating that these contributions are more theoretically controllable at mildly spacelike photon virtualities.
This paper demonstrates that, within the eikonal approach, Coulomb corrections for non-flip and spin-flip proton–nucleus amplitudes are identical if they share the same exponential form factors, providing a precise and practical numerical framework for calculating both electromagnetic and hadronic amplitudes.
This paper evaluates nuclear Transverse Momentum Dependent (nTMD) gluon and quark distributions using a rescaling model based on deep inelastic scattering data and tests them against CMS -jet and meson production data in proton-lead collisions using the High Energy Factorization framework.
This paper presents a parameter-free method to determine the chiral phase transition temperature and critical exponent in (2+1)-flavor QCD by constructing ratios of an improved, renormalized order parameter, with initial numerical results obtained on lattices using staggered fermions.
This paper reviews the open questions in the least understood sector of the Standard Model and argues that a synergistic, multi-frontier experimental approach is essential to address future prospects in neutrino physics.
