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 presents a compact, model-independent effective field theory formulation for neutrinoless double-beta decay that explicitly derives the dimensionally explicit half-life expression and a positivity bound for the coherent interference between two long-range scalar mechanisms, accounting for their complex coupling phases and specific nuclear matrix element ratios.
This paper investigates a flavor-singlet radial-hybrid interpretation of the meson, finding it compatible with current data but indistinguishable from a mixed-glueball scenario, while identifying specific coherent decay amplitudes as crucial for future discrimination.
This paper develops a formal eikonal expansion for classical gluon fields, demonstrating that while the method works straightforwardly in the weak field limit to relate potentials to currents, it fails in the strong field regime due to nonlinear mixing of orders, a problem resolved by integrating out high longitudinal momentum modes to yield a renormalized effective action.
This paper investigates newly observed meson decay modes into final states by calculating their branching fractions using the factorization approach, finding that the theoretical results align well with recent experimental measurements from the LHCb collaboration.
This paper extends the Breit-Wigner Enhancement mechanism, originally proposed to explain cosmic-ray anomalies from PAMELA, ATIC, and PPB-BETS, to the asymmetric Dark Matter scenario, investigating resonance effects and constraining model parameters to satisfy both the observed enhancement factor and astronomical upper bounds.
This paper presents a novel lattice QCD calculation of the neutron electric dipole moment induced by the QCD theta term using the Feynman-Hellmann theorem and background electric fields, yielding a result that confirms the strong-CP problem by constraining the theta angle to .
Using a thermodynamic T-matrix approach with a separable potential, state-of-the-art heavy-quark selfenergies, and particle-hole excitations, this study successfully reproduces lattice QCD results for charmonium spatial correlators at finite momentum, revealing that zero modes are essential for explaining the increase in Euclidean correlators but not for the suppression of spatial correlators.
This paper demonstrates that employing a nonlocal UV completion allows for the derivation of a fully convergent, closed-form Schwinger-parameter representation of the four-loop Higgs-gluon form factor, enabling direct numerical evaluation without standard UV subtractions while maintaining consistency with the coupling scheme in the local limit.
This paper proposes a unified axion cosmology framework rooted in supersymmetric SO(10) GUT and string theory, where a multi-axion system simultaneously explains dark matter and high-redshift black hole seeds via a eV mode, and resolves the Hubble tension through a transient eV component that modifies the pre-recombination expansion rate.
This paper proposes using localized lepton wave packets carrying orbital angular momentum as a tunable transverse probe in hard diffractive dijet deep inelastic scattering to characterize elliptic small- gluon geometry, revealing that specific OAM channels induce finite-yield response nodes arising from spatial cancellations rather than a loss of scattering strength.
