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.

Below are the latest papers in this dynamic field, ready for you to explore with clarity and depth.
This paper utilizes QCD sum rules to systematically predict the mass spectrum and decay modes of fully strange tetraquark states with various quantum numbers, suggesting that the experimentally observed resonance could be a candidate for such a state.
Using QCD sum rules, this paper systematically predicts the existence of light baryonium states with exotic and quantum numbers composed of nucleon-antinucleon, -, and - pairs, providing specific mass estimates and decay modes that could be verified by BESIII, BELLEII, and LHCb experiments.
This paper computes the exact kinematic contribution to diffractive deep inelastic scattering structure functions, demonstrating that previous high-energy approximations are insufficient and revealing an equally important soft quark contribution alongside the soft gluon term at high .
This paper investigates the sensitivity of current and future neutrinoless double beta decay experiments to massive Majoron-like scalar particles coupled to neutrinos and dark sector fermions by analyzing characteristic distortions in the electron energy spectrum, ultimately projecting the ability to probe scalar-neutrino couplings as small as for sub-MeV particles.
The paper introduces E-PCN, an explainable graph neural network that integrates four distinct kinematic feature-weighted graph representations to achieve state-of-the-art jet classification performance on the JetClass dataset while identifying angular separation and transverse momentum as the dominant factors driving its decisions.
This paper challenges the standard single-source assumption in heavy-ion collisions by deriving common monopole and quadrupole spectra from 2.76 TeV Pb-Pb data, concluding that the observed quadrupole structure arises from a novel QCD process distinct from hydrodynamic flow.
This paper proposes that non-thermal production mechanisms, specifically involving late-decaying reheatons in low-reheating-temperature scenarios, can naturally overcome the abundance deficit of thermal sexaquark dark matter models by linking the final relic density to the branching fraction into strange-quark-rich matter and the coalescence probability during the early universe.
Using QCD sum rules with dimension-12 condensates, this study calculates the mass spectra of hexaquark states and finds that the ground states lie around 5.8 GeV, consistent with BESIII's non-observation of a near-threshold bound state, while also predicting masses for hidden-bottom candidates.
This paper demonstrates that magnetic field-induced mixing between charged pions and longitudinally polarized rho mesons, amplified by rho wave-function renormalization suppression, provides a robust mechanism explaining the non-monotonic behavior of charged pion masses observed in lattice QCD.
This paper utilizes a Dyson-Schwinger and Bethe-Salpeter approach to demonstrate that the transition from chiral symmetry breaking to restoration in light meson spectra is governed by the location of quark propagator poles relative to the integration domain, offering new insights into the potential emergence of chiral spin symmetry in QCD.
