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 uses large-scale Abelian-Higgs lattice simulations to demonstrate that while the Nambu-Goto approximation accurately predicts gravitational wave emission for near-global cosmic strings, it fails for strongly coupled local strings where particle emission overwhelmingly dominates energy loss.
This paper utilizes spinor-helicity techniques to derive comprehensive partial wave unitarity and positivity bounds for general Axion-Like Particle effective interactions up to dimension 8, offering new constraints for collider searches and inferring novel limits within the Standard Model Effective Field Theory.
This paper investigates the large scalar spectral index () regime of -attractor T-models, demonstrating that while an extended stiff reheating stage can accommodate higher values, monomial T-models are strictly bounded by a maximum of 0.9682, providing a predictive benchmark to potentially rule out these models in the future.
This paper resolves the apparent contradiction in the literature regarding rotation's effect on the quark-gluon plasma's confinement/deconfinement transition by demonstrating that the observed outcome—whether the critical temperature increases or decreases—depends entirely on whether the observer is static or corotating with the plasma.
This paper investigates saturation effects in exclusive vector meson production within the Color Glass Condensate framework using a hotspot model, finding that while saturation has mild impacts at current energy and charge-density levels, its suppressive effect on scattering cross sections becomes more prominent as the proton's internal color-charge density increases.
This paper proposes a novel probe for neutrino self-interactions using ultra-high-energy neutrinos scattering off the cosmic neutrino background to "widen the resonance," enabling future telescopes like GRAND to explore mediator masses from MeV to GeV with couplings up to two orders of magnitude beyond current limits.
This paper introduces HEPTAPOD, an orchestration framework that integrates large language models into high-energy physics workflows to enable autonomous, multi-step task execution across theoretical calculations, simulations, and data analysis while maintaining transparency, reproducibility, and human oversight.
This paper proposes a holographic model utilizing the WKB approximation with the Langer correction to successfully reproduce the nonlinear Regge trajectories and decay constants of quarkonia, achieving high accuracy in fitting experimental mass data.
This paper presents a detailed study of the non-resonant production process at the High-Luminosity LHC within the Higgs Effective Field Theory framework, utilizing both cut-based and multivariate analysis methods to derive the first sensitivity projections for several higher-dimensional couplings and demonstrate the channel's potential to probe extended Higgs and top-quark interactions beyond the Standard Model.
This paper proposes a novel, track-only method for extracting nucleon transversity by utilizing the transverse charge distribution in fragmenting quarks, which suppresses unpolarized backgrounds and coherently enhances spin-dependent azimuthal asymmetries through the Collins effect.
