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.
Using unsupervised machine learning on the CHIME/FRB Catalog 2, this study reveals that fast radio bursts naturally divide into two spectral morphology-based clusters, suggesting that the observed differences between repeating and nonrepeating sources arise from selection effects rather than distinct physical populations.
This paper presents an updated analysis of Borexino Phase-III data that establishes tighter constraints on flavor-diagonal non-standard neutrino interactions than previous studies and, for the first time, provides a comprehensive exploration of the full parameter space including off-diagonal NSI terms.
This paper projects the sensitivity of the InDEx experiment's superheated target to sub-GeV dark matter via electron scattering, demonstrating that by lowering operating temperatures to achieve thresholds as low as 26.8 eV, the experiment can probe dark matter masses down to approximately 12 MeV and set competitive upper limits on dark-photon-mediated scattering cross sections.
The paper argues that achieving a literally "warm" dark matter scenario consistent with current mass constraints requires highly coincidental and unnatural initial conditions, suggesting that the field should move beyond standard thermal relic benchmarks toward more expressive parameterizations and simulation-based methods to better interpret upcoming data.
This paper introduces ADoNIS, a fully differentiable neutrino interaction event generator that enables exact gradient propagation through complex nuclear and scattering processes, thereby facilitating more efficient and precise physics analyses, model tuning, and experimental design without sacrificing physical fidelity.
This paper proposes a unitary, rotationally perturbed democratic mixing matrix with additional real parameters to reconcile the previously excluded model with current neutrino oscillation data from NuFIT 6.1 and the JUNO experiment, while analyzing the resulting allowed and disallowed textures.
This paper investigates the pair production of the lightest neutral Higgs boson via gluon fusion at the 14 TeV LHC within the SSM framework, demonstrating that the model's new gauge couplings ( and ) induce significant one-loop corrections to the cross-section that remain viable under current experimental constraints.
This paper presents a leading-order Standard Model study of rare exclusive top-quark decays into bottom quarks and mesons, deriving compact expressions for branching ratios and helicity amplitudes to establish a baseline for testing anomalous chiral couplings.
This paper proposes a theoretical framework linking resonant leptogenesis in a minimal two-right-handed-neutrino seesaw model with a real singlet scalar to a primordial stochastic gravitational-wave background, where radiative vacuum-energy bias drives domain-wall annihilation and establishes a consistency relation between neutrino parameters and gravitational-wave signals.
This paper analyzes collider data on elastic proton-proton and proton-antiproton scattering in the diffractive dip region using a Regge-inspired parametrization and finds that the fits do not require a stable, nonzero -odd Odderon contribution, as the data are well-described by -even terms alone or remain inconclusive when additional Odderon terms are introduced.
