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 utilizes combined HERA DIS and LHC exclusive and data within the framework to investigate the impact of absorptive corrections and non-linear evolution on low- parton distribution functions, ultimately determining the effective size of proton hot spots and discussing implications for future global PDF analyses.
This paper presents a comprehensive review of Deeply Inelastic Scattering within perturbative QCD, covering theoretical corrections, kinematical effects, and practical challenges in interpreting experimental data, with all discussed features implemented in the open-source code Yadism for modern parton distribution function extractions.
This paper utilizes light-cone QCD sum rules to calculate the radiative decay widths of heavy-strange axial-vector mesons, demonstrating that the significant difference in decay patterns between the lower and higher states arises from the constructive and destructive interference of - mixing, respectively.
This paper investigates the confinement of massive ghosts in quadratic gravity using a manifestly covariant canonical operator formalism, demonstrating that the asymptotic fields obey a dipole equation and that the resulting quantum Fock space is spanned by multipole states.
This paper demonstrates that minimal Grand Unified Theories, previously considered incompatible with low-energy fermion observables due to restrictive tree-level Yukawa structures, can successfully reproduce the charged and neutral fermion mass spectra and mixing angles when one-loop quantum corrections and scalar mass splittings are taken into account.
This paper demonstrates that non-invertible fusion algebras generate a distinct class of selection rules with genuine organizing power in particle physics, showcasing their ability to produce unique scattering patterns in scalar extensions and solve the doublet-triplet splitting problem in supersymmetric flipped models by forbidding the -term in ways impossible for ordinary Abelian symmetries.
This paper computes the complex heavy-quark potential in an anisotropic quark-gluon plasma using kinetic theory with a collision kernel, demonstrating that while collisions minimally affect the real part of the potential, they are crucial for regularizing Weibel-induced singularities and significantly enhancing the imaginary part, thereby increasing quarkonium thermal widths and dissociation rates.
This paper demonstrates that the trace-anomaly-subtracted -mass for heavy quarks is a unique, renormalon-free mass definition that can be precisely related to the pole mass via a five-loop perturbative formula and determined from lattice QCD, making it an ideal reference scheme for unifying quark mass calculations across different approaches.
This paper resolves tensions between perturbative QCD predictions and data below the charm threshold by incorporating sizable duality violation contributions up to 2.5 GeV, which significantly improve global agreement despite persistent 3 discrepancies with specific BES-III measurements.
This paper develops a systematic effective field theory framework to rigorously separate Standard Model nuclear effects from potential new physics in isotope shift measurements, revealing that the commonly used term arises only at second-order perturbation theory and deriving a long-range potential from nuclear polarizability to enable more precise tests of King non-linearity and nuclear structure.
