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 study introduces new observables derived from the superscaling variable that depend solely on outgoing-muon kinematics to constrain neutrino-energy reconstruction biases while remaining sensitive to underlying nuclear dynamics across various models and targets.
This paper investigates gluon saturation effects in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering within the Color Glass Condensate framework, validating the model against HERA data and predicting significant nuclear suppression at the future Electron-Ion Collider to provide complementary constraints on nonlinear QCD dynamics.
This paper investigates the dissociation of heavy quarkonia in an anisotropic, collisional quark-gluon plasma by solving the Schrödinger equation with a full complex potential, revealing that increased anisotropy raises dissociation temperatures and that thermal widths derived from complex eigenvalues differ significantly from first-order estimates.
This paper investigates a hidden extension of the Standard Model featuring inelastic scalar dark matter to explain a recent high-energy nuclear recoil event observed by the LZ collaboration, while deriving constraints on the kinetic mixing parameter and comparing them with existing experimental bounds.
This paper investigates accelerated gluodynamics via lattice simulations in Rindler coordinates to derive a renormalization prescription for the Polyakov loop and compares the resulting static quark properties with a non-accelerated approximation based on the Tolman-Ehrenfest law, finding good agreement near the critical temperature but deviations at higher temperatures likely due to corrections in the Rindler framework.
This paper proposes a hadrophilic gauge extension model featuring exothermic freeze-in dark matter mediated by a boson to simultaneously explain the recent high-energy LZ event and satisfy indirect detection constraints while evading flavor mixing limits.
This paper proposes inelastic sneutrino dark matter within an inverse-seesaw extended next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model as a viable explanation for the high-energy recoil event observed by LZ, demonstrating that specific annihilation and coannihilation mechanisms can simultaneously satisfy thermal relic abundance, solar neutrino, gamma-ray, and flavor constraints while reproducing neutrino oscillation data.
This paper proposes that analyzing argon recoil data from the DEAP-3600 experiment can distinguish between two interpretations of the LZ 248 keV event: an excited pseudo-Dirac state, which predicts a detectable argon signal, and a ground-state Higgsino, which predicts no events due to kinematic thresholds.
This review synthesizes how neutron skins influence particle emission and collective dynamics across heavy-ion collision energies, linking these effects to the symmetry energy, nuclear structure, and astrophysical phenomena while outlining future experimental and theoretical pathways for constraining these fundamental properties.
This paper proposes that dark matter-induced neutron disappearance, where an incoming dark matter particle annihilates a bound neutron into an invisible scalar, offers a viable explanation for the high-energy nuclear recoil event observed by LUX-ZEPLIN without contradicting constraints from collider experiments or Borexino data.
