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 demonstrates that mixed QCD-QED contributions from gluon-photon initial states significantly enhance the pair production of highly charged leptoquarks by up to 33%, thereby strengthening mass exclusion limits derived from LHC data and establishing a new precision standard for bounding such states.
This paper predicts that sequential hadronization, where mesons form later than mesons, reproduces the observed elliptic-flow splitting in O--O collisions at TeV and establishes this splitting as a universal chronometer for the quark-gluon plasma's hadronization timeline.
The paper proposes an exact, finite kinematic sector of holography defined on a CFT over an open solid torus in the Weyl frame, which establishes bulk-boundary pairs without requiring standard approximations like large- or strong coupling and provides a replica-free definition of entanglement entropy.
This paper proposes a data-driven strategy to predict decays by explicitly incorporating hadronic resonance contributions, such as those from , rather than avoiding them, thereby enabling the use of hadron-collider data and enhancing sensitivity to large New Physics effects across the full kinematic spectrum.
This paper demonstrates that tracking experiments can effectively discriminate between different neutrinoless double-beta decay exchange mechanisms with high statistical significance using only a few well-reconstructed events, even in the presence of realistic reconstruction uncertainties, thereby validating the continued pursuit of tracking detectors for discovery-class experiments.
This paper demonstrates that standalone relativistic hydrodynamic effective field theories are inherently acausal and necessitates the inclusion of transient ultraviolet modes to restore causality while preserving the correct late-time hydrodynamic behavior.
This paper demonstrates that right-handed neutrino loops, interacting with the inflaton via a dimension-5 operator that induces an effective chemical potential, can significantly enhance cosmological collider signatures by softening heavy-mass suppression and amplifying oscillatory non-Gaussianities in the primordial three-point correlator.
This paper investigates the sensitivity of the proposed FCC-ee collider to axion-like particles (ALPs) coupling to electroweak gauge bosons across all planned center-of-mass energies, demonstrating that the facility can detect ALPs with couplings as low as a few via the three-photon final state and potentially probe their electroweak structure for masses below the Z-boson mass.
This paper proposes that the irreducible mass tail of primordial black hole formation, predicted by general relativity, smooths the reheating process and suppresses the associated gravitational wave signal, thereby reopening the possibility that the hot Big Bang originated from the evaporation of ultra-light primordial black holes.
This paper proposes that thermal relic dark matter can remain viable despite ultraweak couplings to the Standard Model by annihilating primarily into a hidden "darker" sector through strong hidden-concealed interactions, a mechanism demonstrated via coupled Boltzmann equations in two specific gauge models.
