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 employs artificial neural networks and stochastic optimization to demonstrate that incorporating finite-temperature quantum gravity corrections, represented by new density parameters and , improves the fit to Planck 2018 cosmic microwave background data despite the persistence of the Hubble tension.
This paper utilizes the gauge-invariance principle within the spinor-helicity formalism to derive the necessary contact terms for the tree-level electromagnetic Compton amplitude, ensuring the result is gauge invariant, unitary, and free of spurious poles, a finding subsequently verified through amplitude factorization.
This paper argues that within the Dark Dimension Scenario, standard primordial black hole production mechanisms inevitably result in five-dimensional black holes, some of which could have lifetimes comparable to the universe's age and potentially explain recent high-energy neutrino detections.
This paper investigates the Complex Scalar Singlet Model as a framework for electroweak baryogenesis, utilizing machine learning to identify parameter regions that support a strong first-order phase transition and produce stochastic gravitational wave signals detectable by future space-based observatories like LISA and DECIGO.
This paper demonstrates that in orbifold GUTs, the axion-photon coupling-to-mass ratio () for all axions, including those localized on boundaries, is bounded by or equal to the QCD axion value due to topological constraints and unsuppressed boundary instantons.
This paper presents the first construction of three-family supersymmetric Pati-Salam models with extra gauge symmetries from intersecting non-rigid D6-branes, demonstrating how adding a -stack of branes reduces filler branes and exotic particles while generating useful vector-like states and new model classes.
This paper evaluates the potential for the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) to detect heavy WIMP dark matter annihilating in density spikes around supermassive black holes, concluding that M31* is a prime target capable of probing a significant portion of the TeV-scale WIMP parameter space, potentially surpassing constraints from the Milky Way's central black hole.
This paper evaluates the impact of intrinsic charm and unflavored meson production on prompt atmospheric muon and neutrino fluxes, revealing tensions between IceCube's high-energy muon measurements and neutrino upper bounds that necessitate refined hadronic interaction models and future experimental data to resolve.
This paper proposes a new search strategy using the Migdal effect in germanium detectors to probe light dark matter produced by nuclear reactors, resulting in stringent new interaction limits for dark matter masses between 0.01 and 2.6 MeV that complement existing cosmological and astrophysical bounds.
This paper investigates cosmological stasis within coupled dark matter and dark energy models motivated by the Dark Dimension, demonstrating that exact stasis requires specific exponential or integrable running slopes, establishing analytic parameter exclusions independent of initial conditions, and revealing that while future capture into stasis is geometrically excluded under fifth-force constraints, dark matter production from the Standard Model brane enables a distinct stasis epoch not accessible in standard scenarios.
