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 an extension of the SHERPA Monte Carlo event generator to include polarised loop-induced processes at fixed leading order and matched to parton showers, utilizing RECOLA matrix elements to address current modelling uncertainties in vector boson polarisation measurements at the LHC.
Initial results from the JUNO Collaboration provide strong experimental support for a novel empirical relation between neutrino mass-squared differences, revealing a central value of $1.4143$ that aligns with the predicted within $0.03$ standard deviations and suggesting an underlying symmetry in the neutrino mass spectrum.
This paper investigates whether the 248 keV nuclear-recoil event observed by the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment can be explained by dark matter interactions, finding that for most effective models, LHC monojet constraints exclude this interpretation for dark matter masses below approximately 1 TeV, thereby challenging the viability of future direct detection probes in this parameter space.
This paper investigates Quantum Chromodynamics in two spacetime dimensions using the Functional Renormalization Group to derive flow equations for gauge and quark parameters, demonstrating a transition from ultraviolet super-renormalizability to a strongly coupled infrared regime while establishing a foundation for future studies of bound state spectra.
This paper develops a unified effective theory for biased tracers using the Boltzmann equation with a general collision term, which naturally derives time- and scale-dependent density and velocity bias parameters and successfully connects to the Effective Field Theory of Large-Scale Structure for modeling redshift-space distortions.
This paper presents a refined template for the velocity power spectrum generated by expanding bubbles during first-order phase transitions, demonstrating that spectral breaks are determined by velocity profile discontinuities rather than geometric scales and providing these results via the CosmoGW Python package for gravitational wave studies.
This paper reviews the critical impact of uncertainties in neutrino-nucleus interaction modeling on accelerator-based oscillation measurements and outlines the theoretical and experimental strategies required to mitigate these systematic errors for next-generation experiments.
BootLoops is an LLM-driven toolkit that unifies advanced exact computation methods from physics, mathematics, and computer science to enable agentic models to perform rigorous quantitative analyses—such as calculating Feynman integrals, Bayesian evidence, and configuration enumerations—across diverse scientific fields with guaranteed precision.
Using an open quantum system framework to simulate bottomonium evolution in the quark-gluon plasma, the study reveals that while the medium suppresses quantum nonclassicality, a finite residual quantum structure persists due to the preferential dissolution of weakly bound states, demonstrating that classicalization is partial and observable-dependent.
This paper calculates the one-loop effective action for quantum electrodynamics with Lorentz symmetry violation in the fermionic sector, demonstrating that only specific background tensors contribute to the result and giving rise to a new combination of cubic and quartic non-linear electrodynamics in the weak field regime.
