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 that the thermodynamic Gibbs entropy of quark-gluon plasma is preserved during hadronization by being converted into the quantum entanglement entropy of confined partons within hadrons, a hypothesis supported by three independent estimates showing that a proton's internal entanglement entropy matches the magnitude of the QGP entropy from which it formed.
This paper demonstrates that pronounced spectral fringes in Schwinger pair production can emerge from smooth, carrier-free single-lobe electric pulses due to a turning-point dominance transition where subleading contributions interfere, a mechanism confirmed in both QED and Dirac materials like epitaxial graphene.
This paper presents the first rigorous collinear factorization calculation of the twist-3 gluon contribution to the single transverse-spin asymmetry in production, demonstrating that the -even gluon distribution drives a sizable asymmetry at RHIC and LHC energies and offering a unique probe for the three-dimensional motion of gluons within the proton.
This paper argues that while weak triplet models can theoretically decouple neutrino magnetic moments from neutrino masses, achieving a naturally observable enhancement requires delicate parameter tuning, and in extended scenarios, the two quantities become intrinsically linked again.
This paper utilizes the PACIAE and DCPC models to compare and production in 7 TeV $pp$ collisions, revealing significant differences in transverse momentum spectra between compact tetraquark and molecular states that can serve as experimental criteria for distinguishing their internal structures.
This paper presents a redetermination of the proton's light flavor sea quark distributions using NNLO global analyses of HERA and ATLAS data, revealing an unexpected asymmetry where the anti-up quark distribution exceeds the anti-down quark distribution in the momentum fraction range , leading to a Gottfried Sum Rule value that significantly differs from previous experimental results.
This paper proposes the rare Standard Model Higgs decay as a probe of Higgs interactions, calculating its branching ratio of approximately and demonstrating that it can be observed with high significance at both the High-Luminosity LHC and the ILC using multivariate analysis techniques.
This paper investigates the analytic structure of the partition function in a finite-volume mean-field QCD model to analyze the temperature dependence of Lee-Yang zeros and edge singularities, demonstrating that while finite-size scaling methods can successfully locate the critical point, accurate determination requires a careful treatment of corrections from irrelevant operators.
This paper presents a unified open quantum system framework based on the Lindblad equation to describe both the suppression and thermal recombination of charmonium and bottomonium states in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions undergoing Bjorken expansion.
This paper proposes a hidden-sector dark matter model where the dark matter and Standard Model decouple at high temperatures yet evolve to similar temperatures at freeze-out, allowing for the observed relic abundance with standard annihilation cross sections while rendering direct detection and collider signals potentially unobservable due to extremely weak couplings.
