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 compares eikonal and U-matrix unitarization schemes to analyze high-energy elastic scattering driven by Pomeron exchange, specifically evaluating how linear versus nonlinear Pomeron trajectories influence the phenomenological description of data and the stability of extracted parameters.
This paper proposes an improved moment QCD sum rule (IMSR) framework that eliminates the subjectivity and inconsistencies of conventional methods by incorporating quark-hadron duality and rigorous parameter constraints to simultaneously determine ground-state masses and coupling constants, as validated by its application to a pseudoscalar tetraquark system.
This paper introduces TRSMScans, a new automated scan tool based on ScannerS that calculates maximal cross-section predictions for new physics scenarios involving additional scalar states, with a specific demonstration of its application to the Two-Real-Singlet Model (TRSM) and comparisons to LHC data.
This paper presents a comparison between standard fixed-order NLO QCD predictions and the MiNLO approach for the full off-shell process at 13 TeV, demonstrating how the MiNLO method's dynamic scale setting and Sudakov form factors improve the description of multi-lepton final states through the merging of zero-, one-, and two-jet configurations.
This paper analyzes singly Cabibbo-suppressed decays within the Standard Model, demonstrating that non-factorisable corrections of approximately 50% suffice to explain measured branching fractions and predicting that the direct CP asymmetry in remains at the per-mille level.
This paper presents the most stringent constraints to date on ultra-light axions as a dark matter subcomponent in the mass range to eV, derived from a full-shape analysis of DESI DR1 galaxy power spectra combined with Planck and ACT CMB data, which significantly improves upon CMB-only limits and reveals that a mild preference for axions seen in galaxy clustering data disappears when CMB data is included.
This paper proposes that the stochastic wave-optics lensing of gravitational waves by low-mass dark matter halos () imprints a unique "dark timbre" on LISA signals, which can be detected by stacking hundreds of binary events to confirm cold dark matter predictions or constrain alternative small-scale structure models.
This paper presents the design, construction, and characterization of a fermionic axion interferometer that leverages spin-axion interactions to search for sub-neV axion-like dark matter, ultimately establishing a new limit on its coupling to electrons.
This paper analyzes the small-spin behavior of anomalous dimensions for twist-two operators in the -symmetric , complex , and Gross-Neveu-Yukawa models up to four, three, and two loops respectively, confirming theoretical expectations and providing resummed expressions for these quantities at their singular points.
The paper introduces K4GeneratorsConfig, a Python-based package designed to automate the benchmarking and configuration of Monte Carlo event generators for electron-positron colliders, ensuring technical consistency, reproducibility, and seamless integration within the Key4hep software stack.
