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 a first-principles, non-perturbative study of quantum entanglement among partons in a strongly coupled scalar Yukawa theory using light-front Hamiltonian methods, revealing that while entanglement in the quenched limit relates to classical Shannon entropy, the unquenched framework exhibits genuine non-classical correlations that encode quantum information beyond classical probabilities.
This paper proposes a general algebraic formula based on ring homomorphisms and the Verlinde formula to classify anyon transformations across domain walls, thereby unifying the description of topological phase transitions, massless renormalization group flows, and symmetry-enriched topological orders within the framework of Symmetry Topological Field Theories (SymTFTs).
This review summarizes current observational constraints on primordial black holes (PBHs) across the full mass range, discusses their formation scenarios and mass functions, highlights potential evidence for their existence as dark matter, and outlines future search prospects, particularly through gravitational-wave observatories.
Using light-front holographic QCD, this paper demonstrates that the nucleon's gravitational form factor is significantly suppressed at finite momentum transfer due to a fundamental cancellation arising from an antisymmetric factor in the longitudinal dynamics, which serves as a signature of the nucleon's dominant S-wave character.
This paper utilizes recent data from underground direct detection experiments (XENONnT, PandaX-4T, and LZ) to constrain the scattering cross sections of light dark matter and the fraction of dark matter composed of primordial black holes by analyzing the flux of boosted dark matter particles produced via Hawking radiation from both partially and fully evaporated primordial black holes.
This paper investigates the emission of Cherenkov plasmons by primordial neutrinos in a nonrelativistic lepton plasma, deriving the energy emission rate to demonstrate that this mechanism can efficiently cool neutrino clusters formed in the early universe through interactions with a hypothetical light scalar boson.
This paper presents an analytic framework treating finite-mass sterile neutrinos as a dynamical cosmological fluid with a time-dependent equation of state, demonstrating how their suppressed thermalization and evolving pressure impact the expansion history and shift the matter-radiation equality epoch beyond the standard constant approximation.
This paper proposes a systematic framework using maximum-entropy reweighting and precision moments of energy flow polynomials to upgrade parton-shower event samples with higher-accuracy theoretical constraints, thereby restoring physical behavior and improving predictions across a broad range of observables while preserving full event-level exclusivity.
This paper investigates how the memory-burden effect, which delays primordial black hole evaporation, alters the Lyman- constraints on non-cold dark matter produced by these black holes by modeling the resulting dual velocity-dispersion populations and determining the viable parameter space for such scenarios.
This paper presents the first quantitative study using 15 years of Fermi-LAT data to establish stringent limits on dark matter decay lifetimes by analyzing the unique gamma-ray signal produced when dark matter decay electrons and positrons inverse-Compton scatter solar photons in the inner heliosphere.
