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 novel, numerically and formally exact solution to the pion Bethe-Salpeter equation in the chiral limit, utilizing state-of-the-art QCD correlation functions while strictly satisfying axial Ward-Takahashi identities.
This paper presents a precise theoretical analysis of decays using the factorization-assisted topological-amplitude (FAT) approach, where 10 nonfactorizable parameters are globally fitted to 36 experimental data points to reveal that large strong phases in the amplitude cause destructive interference with the component, leading to a polarization hierarchy () that contradicts naive factorization predictions.
This paper initiates a program to investigate the ultraviolet completion of generalised Proca theories within the asymptotic safety paradigm, identifying non-perturbative fixed points that demonstrate the renormalisability of vector-tensor theories and constrain viable late-time cosmological scenarios.
This paper introduces a computationally efficient approximate energy-integration method that overcomes the limitations of previous schemes to accurately and robustly identify collisional neutrino flavor instabilities across diverse regimes in high-energy astrophysical simulations like core-collapse supernovae and binary neutron star mergers.
This paper demonstrates that spontaneous symmetry breaking can persist up to arbitrarily high temperatures in four-dimensional ultraviolet-complete quantum field theories by identifying explicit finite- benchmark models where a negative thermal mass prevents symmetry restoration despite asymptotic freedom.
This paper predicts that the spin Hall effect in hot and dense QCD matter, induced by baryon chemical potential gradients in heavy-ion collisions, can be detected through the distinct sign and beam energy dependence of the second Fourier coefficients of net hyperon spin polarization using a (3+1)D viscous hydrodynamic model.
This paper proposes that the rethermalization of axion dark matter during the initial collapse of large-scale overdensities near cosmic dawn efficiently transports angular momentum outward, leading to the formation of supermassive black holes with masses ranging from to a few times for both QCD axions and heavier axion-like particles.
Using time-domain terahertz emission spectroscopy, researchers observed a dynamic magneto-chiral instability in photoexcited tellurium, where an electric current parallel to a magnetic field amplifies electromagnetic waves, offering a promising mechanism for THz-wave amplification in chiral materials.
This paper proposes a scale-symmetric extension of the Standard Model within Weyl geometry, demonstrating that while the resulting inflationary scenario is consistent with Planck 2018 constraints on the spectral index, it predicts an undetectably small tensor-to-scalar ratio and faces a unitarity cutoff below inflationary energy scales in regimes with strong coupling hierarchies.
This paper introduces a generalized definition of isothermal compressibility in (2+1)-flavor QCD based on conserved charge fluctuations, presenting lattice results that align with hadron resonance gas models and heavy-ion collision data while demonstrating that the compressibility on the pseudo-critical line closely resembles that of an ideal gas.
