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 demonstrates that specific new physics scenarios, such as a model with large complex phases and right-handed couplings, can simultaneously enhance the branching ratios of , , and while resolving the anomaly, all without conflicting with the recent NA62 measurement of or the constraint.
This paper constructs a nuclear-matter equation of state for neutron stars using a holographic Witten-Sakai-Sugimoto model with a face-centered cubic soliton crystal approximation, which successfully reproduces saturation properties and NICER-compatible observables while correcting the deficiencies of previous homogeneous approximations.
This paper presents a thermodynamically consistent holographic QCD model with multiple conserved charges that predicts a flavor-dependent critical endpoint and coherent dual-channel cumulant peaks at , offering a robust strategy for the experimental search of the QCD critical point.
This paper presents the first calculation of next-to-leading-order QCD and electroweak corrections to the Dark Matter relic density within the complex singlet extended Standard Model (CxSM), demonstrating that these corrections can significantly alter exclusion limits and are implemented in the publicly available code RelExt@NLO.
This paper proposes an extended quarkyonic matter framework incorporating strange quarks and the full baryon octet, demonstrating that the quarkyonic mechanism lowers the critical density for hyperon appearance while significantly stiffening the equation of state to resolve the hyperon puzzle and increase the maximum mass of hyperon stars.
This paper proposes a novel integral representation for neutrino mass-squared differences to derive stringent analytical bounds on the absolute neutrino mass scale and effective masses, yielding a competitive upper limit of eV under cosmological constraints and demonstrating how Gatto-Sartori-Tonin type relations naturally emerge from this framework.
This paper proposes a novel cosmological regime for minimal QCD axion dark matter where the Peccei-Quinn symmetry is restored by inflationary fluctuations but not thermally afterwards, leading to late-forming string networks that allow for axion masses up to eV and the formation of massive miniclusters.
This paper proposes that the MiniBooNE neutrino excess can be explained by a non-standard two-flavor oscillation model based on PT-pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonian theory, which introduces a zero-distance effect and flavor asymmetry to achieve a better fit to the data than the standard oscillation framework.
This paper introduces theoretical approaches to multi-quark states—specifically hadrocharmonia, compact tetraquarks, and hadronic molecules—and contrasts their predictions with current and potential future observations, with a primary focus on doubly heavy systems.
This paper proposes a novel mechanism for producing sterile neutrino dark matter via scalar-mediated active-sterile interactions, which bypasses the need for active-sterile mixing, resonances, or lepton asymmetry, thereby opening new testable parameter space that resolves tensions with existing astrophysical constraints.
