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.

Using QCD sum rules, this study systematically investigates the mass spectra and decay patterns of triply heavy tetraquark states with , predicting specific mass ranges for charmed and bottomed systems and identifying which candidates are likely to be narrow enough for experimental detection.
This paper proposes the model, which utilizes a specific charged-lepton rotation to explain the observed asymmetry between trimaximal and -- balance violations in the first column of the lepton mixing matrix, predicting a near-maximal CP-violating phase of that serves as a sharp test for future Hyper-Kamiokande measurements.
This paper investigates how small-instanton contributions in various KSVZ axion models with vector-like quarks can significantly enhance the axion mass and modify the standard relationship between axion mass, decay constant, and photon coupling, thereby opening new parameter spaces for axion searches.
This paper demonstrates that employing the HF-CRPA model for the quasi-elastic region and the Berger-Sehgal model for the resonance region significantly improves DUNE's sensitivity to neutrino oscillation parameters and mass ordering compared to the standard DUNE technical design report tune, primarily because the resonance region dominates the experiment's energy range.
This paper investigates thermal photon production in a magnetized quark-gluon plasma using Landau-level quantization to analyze how magnetic fields and chemical potentials affect photon yield and polarization, offering a theoretical framework to resolve the photon puzzle and detect magnetic field signatures in heavy-ion collisions.
This paper derives explicit Lorentz invariant QED pair production rates for scalars, spinors, and vectors in diverse dimensions by taking the field theory limit of open string pair production between two parallel Dp-branes in Type II superstrings.
This paper provides a critique of specific claims made in a recent preprint regarding the rotational Unruh effect, focusing on examples involving electrons and positrons emitting photons in high-energy storage rings and astrophysical magnetic fields.
This paper demonstrates that while preparing a detector in a squeezed state can theoretically distinguish quantum gravitational waves from classical fields by generating a squeezing witness, the extremely weak coupling between gravitons and detectors ultimately renders this signature unobservable in practice.
This paper proposes a model where asymptotically de Sitter universes reside inside black holes within a maximally entropic flat universe, arguing that these universes equilibrate on timescales exponentially shorter than de Sitter recurrence times, thereby rendering their internal structure undetectable and potentially explaining the selection of unnatural cosmological constants through the requirement for intelligent life.
This paper investigates the geodesic dynamics, eikonal quasinormal modes, and extended thermodynamic properties of a Schwarzschild-de Sitter-like black hole with a global monopole in Bumblebee gravity, revealing how spontaneous Lorentz symmetry breaking and topological defects alter orbital stability and black hole shadows while imposing strict thermodynamic constraints on the Lorentz-violating parameter through quantum-corrected entropy.
