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 a modified Polyakov-Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model with a chemical potential-dependent Polyakov potential to describe cold dense matter, demonstrating that repulsive vector interactions and a stiff hadronic equation of state are essential for forming stable hybrid stars with quarkyonic or deconfined cores that exceed two solar masses.
This paper investigates the topological amplitudes of baryon decays into octet and decuplet baryons within the limit by presenting complete tree- and penguin-induced diagrams, deriving linear relations between topological and irreducible amplitudes via tensor analysis, and establishing isospin relations to test the Körner-Pati-Woo theorem.
This paper investigates how external magnetic fields, finite temperature, and isospin asymmetry affect the in-medium masses, decay constants, and distribution amplitudes of and mesons in nuclear matter using a hybrid framework of the chiral SU(3) quark mean-field model and the light-front quark model, revealing that magnetic catalysis and Landau quantization enhance effective masses while density induces attractive shifts and that pseudoscalar-vector mixing leads to level repulsion.
This paper investigates entropy derived from inclusive scattering probabilities within non-interacting unitary pomeron exchange models, revealing a high-energy discrepancy between inelastic cross-sections that resolves at asymptotic limits and demonstrating that entropy initially rises with energy before peaking at rapidities of 12–17 and subsequently declining.
Newtrinos.jl is an open-source, modular Julia package that enables flexible, parallelizable, and automatically differentiable global analyses of neutrino data by integrating diverse experimental datasets with various physics models through a unified statistical framework supporting both Frequentist and Bayesian inference.
This paper calculates the decay widths of the first radially excited nonet vector mesons (, , , and ) into three pseudoscalar mesons using the extended NJL model, accounting for both box channels and intermediate vector meson states to provide predictions for future experiments.
This paper generalizes previous holographic findings on the frame-dependency of confinement temperature in rotating quark-gluon plasma by employing the most general Myers-Perry black hole solution, revealing that breaking spherical symmetry leads to a complex, non-monotonic angular dependence of the local temperature measured by a co-rotating observer.
This study investigates thermal photon production in a magnetized quark-gluon plasma using (1+1)-dimensional relativistic magnetohydrodynamics, revealing that while photon yields are primarily determined by the initial magnetic field strength and its decay, weak-field quantum corrections to quark distribution functions significantly enhance production at intermediate transverse momenta, whereas magnetic susceptibility has a negligible effect.
This paper introduces MANGO, a fully differentiable neutrino oscillation engine that enables efficient, end-to-end gradient-based analysis of complex propagation scenarios and experimental designs by computing sensitivities for all inputs—including Earth density profiles and detector parameters—with minimal computational overhead.
Using the two-flavor Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model in the mean-field approximation, this study investigates the phase structure and critical behavior of rotating QCD matter, finding that the extracted effective critical exponents near the critical endpoint align with mean-field values and remain unaffected by the rotational degree of freedom.
