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 extends previous constraints on quantum dark forces by deriving new limits on the mass and couplings of dark scalar particles exchanged bilinearly between neutrons and electrons.
This paper proposes that the single 248 keV event observed by the LZ experiment can be explained by heavy higgsino dark matter with a mass between and GeV and a specific mass splitting, a scenario that evades current solar capture constraints and requires a non-standard thermal history involving early matter domination to achieve the correct relic abundance.
This paper investigates the UV viability of strongly first-order electroweak phase transitions in the Type-I 2HDM, revealing that while one-step transitions face a severe tension between transition strength and high-scale validity, multistep transitions in the Inverted Scenario can achieve both strong transitions and consistency up to the Planck scale, thereby favoring a light scalar spectrum and moderate as a promising target for collider searches.
This paper presents a modular implementation of next-to-leading order perturbative QCD thermodynamics with finite strange quark mass in the MUSES engine, demonstrating how renormalization-scale prescriptions and strange quark mass significantly influence the flavor composition and equation of state of dense matter, thereby refining constraints on neutron star physics.
This paper presents a next-to-leading order NRQCD analysis of inclusive production in annihilation, demonstrating that color-octet mechanisms and feed-down effects significantly enhance cross sections at energies and offering a promising avenue for observation using Belle's detector capabilities.
This paper investigates how on-shell renormalization and one-loop electroweak corrections can significantly enhance the direct detection rates of Higgsino-like dark matter by demonstrating that inelastic scattering processes may dominate over elastic ones in scenarios with extremely tiny mass splittings, thereby increasing the expected event rates in the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment.
This paper investigates the electromagnetic properties of vector and axial-vector heavy-light hybrid mesons using the light cone QCD sum rules framework to derive magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole form factors and moments for various bottom and charm hybrid configurations.
This paper proposes a zero-locus diagnostic method within an FSI-improved amplitude framework to validate and stabilize the extraction of the direct contact term in decays, demonstrating its ability to recover the injected coupling constant and identify well-conditioned regions of the Dalitz plot for future global fits.
This paper derives the pulsar timing response and spatial correlations for shear modes in torsionless Palatini spacetime, revealing that the resulting dipolar correlation function is degenerate with Solar System ephemeris errors, thereby necessitating additional information beyond angular correlations to distinguish these signatures in pulsar timing array data.
This paper presents an improved, finite-sum expression for the partial-wave projection of the one-particle exchange process in relativistic three-body scattering of massive, spinless particles, which accurately reproduces known physical properties while significantly enhancing computational efficiency for constructing robust amplitude analyses.
