HepScript: A Dual-Use DSL for Human-AI Collaborative Data Analysis Workflows in High-Energy Physics

The escalating data scale in High-Energy Physics (HEP) fuels a growing aspiration for higher analytical efficiency. While Large Language Models (LLMs) offer a path toward automation via agentic AI, they struggle with complex scientific workflows that require deep domain knowledge and are tightly coupled to experiment-specific codebases. To address this, we introduce a methodology centered on HepScript, a dual-use Domain-Specific Language (DSL) for HEP data analysis workflows. HepScript serves as a shared formal interface, abstracting HEP analysis logic into a constrained syntax that is both intuitive for human experts and reliably generable by AI agents. First developed for the Beijing Spectrometer III (BESIII) experiment, HepScript hides the complexity of the underlying software stack, translating high-level analysis intent into low-level, production-ready code. In our case studies, this abstraction reduces the required human-written code by 93\%. Crucially, HepScript's constrained grammar defines a tractable action space, enabling AI agents to autonomously generate executable specifications for core analysis stages directly from published literature with a 95\% success rate. Our work demonstrates a scalable pathway toward human-AI collaborative systems, where a formally specified DSL acts as an unambiguous translation layer between human expertise, AI automation, and production environment, rendering previously intractable automation problems solvable.

Improved description of e^+e^- \to p\bar{p}π^0 cross section line shape and more stringent constraints on ψ(3770) and ψ(4230) \to p\bar{p}π^0

By using the cross sections of e^+e^- \to p\bar{p}π^0 measured at the center-of-mass energies from 3.65 to 4.60 GeV, we find that the line shape well agrees with pure continuum production parametrized by a power law function and the significance of both ψ(3770) and ψ(4230) \to p\bar{p}π^0 is less than 0.4σ. We set more stringent constraints on the charmless decays of the charmonium state, ψ(3770), and the charmoniumlike state, ψ(4230), to p\bar{p}π^0 than in previous measurements. The data are also used to estimate the cross sections of p\bar{p} \to π^0ψ(3770) and p\bar{p} \to π^0ψ(4230) that are essential for planning the data taking of the PANDA experiment.

New puzzle in charmonium decays

By analyzing existing data on pseudoscalar charmonium decays, we obtain the ratio of the branching fractions of $η_c(2S)$ and $η_c$ decays into ten different final states with light hadrons. For the first time, we test the two existing theoretical predictions of these decays, and find that the experimental data are significantly different from both of them. The lack of observation of any decay mode with higher rate in $η_c(2S)$ than in $η_c$ decays suggests very unusual decay dynamics in pseudoscalar charmonium decays to be identified. We also report the first model-independent evaluation of the partial width of $η_c(2S)\to γγ$ ($2.21_{-0.64}^{+0.88}$ keV) and improved determination of that of $η_c\to γγ$ ($5.43_{-0.38}^{+0.41}$ keV). The latter shows a tension with the most recent lattice QCD calculation.

Hadronic cross section of $e^+e^-$ annihilation at bottomonium energy region

The Born cross section and dressed cross section of $e^+e^-$ to $b\bar{b}$ and the total hadronic cross section in $e^+e^-$ annihilation in the bottomonium energy region are calculated based on the Rb values measured by the BaBar and Belle experiments. The data are used to calculate the vacuum polarization factors in the bottomonium energy region, and to determine the resonant parameters of the vector bottomonium(-like) states, the Y(10750), Upsilon(5S), and Upsilon(6S).

The $XYZ$ states: experimental and theoretical status and perspectives

The quark model was formulated in 1964 to classify mesons as bound states made of a quark-antiquark pair, and baryons as bound states made of three quarks. For a long time all known mesons and baryons could be classified within this scheme. Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), however, in principle also allows the existence of more complex structures, generically called exotic hadrons or simply exotics. These include four-quark hadrons (tetraquarks and hadronic molecules), five-quark hadrons (pentaquarks) and states with active gluonic degrees of freedom (hybrids), and even states of pure glue (glueballs). Exotic hadrons have been systematically searched for in numerous experiments for many years. Remarkably, in the past fifteen years, many new hadrons that do not exhibit the expected properties of ordinary (not exotic) hadrons have been discovered in the quarkonium spectrum. These hadrons are collectively known as $XYZ$ states. Some of them, like the charged states, are undoubtedly exotic. Parallel to the experimental progress, the last decades have also witnessed an enormous theoretical effort to reach a theoretical understanding of the $XYZ$ states. Theoretical approaches include not only phenomenological extensions of the quark model to exotics, but also modern non-relativistic effective field theories and lattice QCD calculations. The present work aims at reviewing the rapid progress in the field of exotic $XYZ$ hadrons over the past few years both in experiments and theory. It concludes with a summary on future prospects and challenges.

The BESIII Physics Programme

The standard model of particle physics is a well-tested theoretical framework, but there are still a number of issues that deserve further experimental and theoretical investigation. For quark physics, such questions include: the nature of quark confinement, the mechanism that connects the quarks and gluons of the standard model theory to the strongly interacting particles; and the weak decays of quarks, which may provide insights into new physics mechanisms responsible for the matter-antimatter asymmetry of the Universe. These issues are addressed by the Beijing Spectrometer III (BESIII) experiment at the Beijing Electron-Positron Collider II (BEPCII) storage ring, which for the past decade has been studying particles produced in electron-positron collisions in the tau-charm energy-threshold region, and has by now accumulated the world's largest datasets that enables searches for nonstandard hadrons, weak decays of the charmed particles, and new physics phenomena beyond the standard model. Here, we review the contributions of BESIII to such studies and discuss future prospects for BESIII and other experiments.

Derived Born cross sections of $e^+e^-$ annihilation into open charm mesons from CLEO-c measurements

The exclusive Born cross sections of the production of $D^0$, $D^+$ and $D_s^+$ mesons in $e^+e^-$ annihilation at 13 energy points between 3.970 and 4.260 GeV are obtained by applying corrections for initial state radiation and vacuum polarization to the observed cross sections measured by CLEO-c experiment. Both the statistical and the systematic uncertainties for the obtained Born cross sections are properly estimated.
