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.

This paper proposes "lens stochastic diffraction" (LSD), a method that detects the collective, correlated fluctuations of secondary gravitational-wave images caused by intervening compact objects to statistically probe dark matter halos and supermassive black holes with significantly higher sensitivity than traditional individual lensing searches.
This paper estimates the sensitivity of Wilson coefficients for lepton flavor-violating dimension-six operators at a proposed muon collider by computing signal significance and measurement errors for effective couplings at center-of-mass energies of 3 and 10 TeV using the optimal observable method.
This paper demonstrates that various quantum information measures, including magic, trace distance, and fidelity distance, offer distinct and complementary sensitivities to new physics in the top quark sector within the Standard Model Effective Field Theory, highlighting the importance of employing multiple such metrics to effectively probe beyond-Standard-Model phenomena.
This paper establishes a formal correspondence between topological quantum neural networks (TQNNs), which implement universal quantum computation and error correction via Reshetikhin-Turaev and Turaev-Viro models, and amplituhedra, thereby demonstrating that amplituhedra serve as geometric representations of generic quantum processes rooted in underlying topological structures.
This paper proposes an optimized search strategy using displaced vertex signatures without prompt leptons to significantly improve current LHC constraints on heavy neutral leptons coupled to the tau-neutrino flavor, potentially enhancing sensitivity by up to three orders of magnitude with future high-luminosity data.
This paper employs the semi-classical BPS Skyrme model to accurately compute electromagnetic and neutral current form factors for heavy nuclei using only a single global radial parameter, offering a robust alternative to phenomenological approaches that is crucial for reducing systematic uncertainties in precision neutrino experiments.
This paper proposes the Quarkyonic Quark-Meson Coupling (QQMC) model, which unites the dual quarkyonic model with the quark-meson coupling framework to describe nuclear and neutron matter across a wide density range, successfully resolving singular behaviors at the quark saturation density and reproducing observational data from neutron stars and heavy-ion collisions.
This paper develops a comprehensive path-integral framework for thermal gauge theories in rotating plasmas with arbitrary temperature, chemical potentials, and angular momentum, deriving generalized KMS conditions and demonstrating that while thermal propagators are modified by these parameters, interaction vertices remain unaltered.
This paper proposes using simple, inexpensive hydrogenated carbon structures as highly sensitive, directional detectors capable of identifying sub-GeV dark matter through the ejection of protons with minimal energy thresholds.
This paper investigates a two-component dark matter model with symmetry where a singlet scalar and a Majorana fermion are produced via freeze-in, demonstrating that a large symmetry-breaking scale allows for viable relic densities with an exceptionally suppressed coupling () while maintaining the new Higgs boson as the dominant production mediator.
