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 evaluates strategies for selecting Parton Distribution Functions (PDFs) in New Physics searches at high-energy colliders, comparing conservative fitting methods that exclude potentially contaminated data against simultaneous fits of PDFs and Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) parameters to ensure robust sensitivity in High-Luminosity LHC analyses.
This paper proposes that muon bremsstrahlung from the intense muon beams at accelerator neutrino facilities serves as a novel production mechanism for Heavy Neutral Leptons (HNLs) with masses up to GeV, significantly extending the discovery potential of experiments like SBND and DUNE to parameter spaces inaccessible via traditional meson decays.
This paper demonstrates that Larmor precession of polarized strange and antistrange quarks in the intense magnetic fields of non-central heavy-ion collisions generates a measurable charge-odd polarization splitting between and hyperons, offering a direct probe of magnetic-field-driven spin dynamics in deconfined QCD matter.
This study demonstrates that collective neutrino oscillations occurring within 10 km of the proto-neutron star surface in core-collapse supernovae significantly enhance the production of specific proton-rich nuclides, thereby resolving discrepancies between theoretical models and observed solar-system abundances.
This paper presents a nonequilibrium Green's function approach to heavy-quark transport within the Kadanoff-Baym framework, demonstrating that off-shell and memory effects significantly influence heavy-quark dynamics in quark-gluon plasmas, particularly near the critical temperature.
This paper demonstrates that the Hanbury-Brown Twiss intensity correlations of photons in a quantized electromagnetic cavity are insensitive to the second-order coherence and super-Poissonian statistics of cosmic gravitons, rendering it impossible to infer the statistical properties of gravitons from photon measurements even in principle.
This paper investigates vector excitations on local cosmic strings within the Abelian-Higgs model, demonstrating that these massive, localized modes persist across all scalar coupling regimes, decay via distinct mechanisms depending on the coupling strength, and trigger a parametric instability that simultaneously excites transverse string directions through nonlinear couplings.
This paper verifies that the stress-energy tensor response functions derived from the massive Anderson-Witting kinetic model satisfy necessary analytic conditions and are fully consistent with recently established order-reversed Kubo formulas.
This paper argues that geometric scaling persists in elastic proton-proton collisions from 23 GeV to 13 TeV, evidenced by a constant ratio of bump-to-dip positions in differential cross-sections, while also identifying the scattering amplitude's real and imaginary parts to compute the parameter and discussing the scaling's violation outside the dip-bump region at LHC energies.
This paper models the kinematic properties and calculates the production cross-sections of Higgs bosons in association with two and three jets (Hjj and Hjjj) via vector boson fusion, utilizing both QCD and Effective Field Theory frameworks across Standard Model, MSSM, and NMSSM scenarios.
