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 the first complete next-to-leading order QCD calculation for fully charm tetraquark production at hadronic collisions, incorporating gluon radiation effects through resummation and utilizing LHCb and CMS data to extract universal long-distance matrix elements and predict kinematic distributions for the and its spin-zero partners.
This paper presents the first example of a nonlocal, Lorentz-invariant quantum field theory that simultaneously satisfies renormalizability, unitarity, and causality while violating CPT symmetry, offering a viable framework for explaining the universe's baryon asymmetry.
This paper employs next-to-leading order QCD sum rules to analyze light tetraquark states, concluding that the is unlikely to be a tetraquark while identifying the as a strong tetraquark candidate around 2.0 GeV and suggesting the is less likely to be a tetraquark than previously thought.
This paper employs Bayesian inference within a unified framework to constrain the neutron star equation of state across hadronic, crossover, and quark phases, revealing that current multi-messenger data strongly limit low-to-intermediate density nuclear symmetry energy parameters while leaving high-density quark matter properties largely unconstrained until next-generation observations become available.
Using a diffusion Monte Carlo algorithm within a constituent quark model, this study demonstrates that explaining the observed and pentaquarks requires the total wavefunction to be an eigenvector of the SU(3) flavor operator, a condition that yields two mass-compatible structures and predicts additional states below the threshold, whereas imposing only isospin symmetry results in a single structure.
This paper proposes a novel LHC search for GeV-scale particles coupling to light quarks by identifying low-multiplicity jets produced in association with a hard photon, a signature that distinguishes these signals from standard QCD backgrounds and extends the discovery reach into previously inaccessible parameter space.
This paper investigates a dark matter model consisting of millicharged magnetic monopoles from a dark U(1) sector with kinetic mixing to the Standard Model, deriving constraints on its parameters from dark matter self-interactions and the survival of galactic magnetic fields via the Parker effect across three distinct phenomenological scenarios.
This paper demonstrates that accounting for hadrons produced via ion electromagnetic dissociation, which break experimental exclusivity vetos, resolves long-standing tensions between theoretical predictions and LHC measurements for exclusive muon pair and coherent production.
This paper demonstrates that upcoming ultra-high-energy tau neutrino experiments like GRAND and POEMMA will provide significantly more stringent constraints on Lorentz invariance violation than current low-energy probes by analyzing deviations in flavor transition probabilities and event rates across single and multiple LIV operator scenarios.
This paper investigates the sensitivity of neutrino observatories and direct detection experiments to sub-GeV dark matter boosted by cosmic ray bremsstrahlung in the atmosphere, specifically modeling initial state radiation and resonances to extend mass limits and compare the capabilities of LZ, PandaX-4T, Borexino, and Super-K.
