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.

The forward-backward asymmetry induced CPCP asymmetry in B‾0→K−π+π0{\overline{B}}^{0}\rightarrow K^{-}π^{+}π^{0} in phase space around the resonances K‾∗(892)0{\overline{K}}^{*}(892)^{0} and K‾0∗(700){\overline{K}}^{*}_{0}(700)

This paper investigates the significant CP violation induced by forward-backward asymmetry in the decay B‾0→K−π+π0{\overline{B}}^{0}\rightarrow K^{-}\pi^{+}\pi^{0} within the phase space dominated by K‾∗(892)0\overline{K}^{*}(892)^{0} and K‾0∗(700){\overline{K}^{*}_{0}(700)} resonances, predicting asymmetries of up to 35% that are potentially observable by Belle and Belle-II collaborations.

Pseudoscalar Higgs boson decay to three parton amplitudes at NNLO to higher orders in the dimensional regulator

This paper presents the first calculation of second-order corrections for pseudo-scalar Higgs boson decay into three partons (A→gggA \to ggg and A→qqˉgA \to q\bar{q}g) expanded to higher orders in the dimensional regulator within an effective theory framework, providing finite amplitude pieces essential for predicting NNLO differential distributions and future three-loop cross sections at hadron colliders.

Multi-parton contributions to Bˉ→Xsγ\bar B \to X_s γ at NLO

This paper presents the first complete calculation of the remaining formally NLO multi-parton contributions to the inclusive radiative decay Bˉ→Xsγ\bar{B} \to X_s \gamma, providing fully analytic results in terms of multiple polylogarithms and demonstrating that their numerical impact on the decay rate is small due to a partial cancellation with leading-order terms.

Vector Horndeski black holes in nonlinear electrodynamics

This paper investigates linearly stable black hole solutions in nonlinear electrodynamics coupled with Horndeski vector-tensor theory, finding that while nonsingular black holes are inherently unstable due to Laplacian instabilities, singular black holes can satisfy stability conditions only if the Horndeski coupling is sufficiently weak, as strong coupling generally induces instabilities in the high-curvature regime.
