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 calculates the production rate and projected sensitivity of the NA64e experiment at CERN to inelastic magnetic dipole dark matter pairs, demonstrating that including heavy vector meson decays alongside bremsstrahlung-like emission enables the probe of previously unexplored parameter spaces for light masses and modest mass splittings.
This paper investigates exclusive hadron observables in neutrino-induced multinucleon knockout by comparing kinematic variables from the Valencia model with current event generator treatments and nuclear re-scattering effects, while assessing their detectability in present and future long-baseline neutrino experiments.
This paper extends a previous analysis of photoproduction by incorporating LEPS spin density matrix element data to constrain the theoretical model, revealing that while the resonance is essential, the role of -channel exchange is ambiguous and contradicts earlier claims of its dominance.
This paper proposes a theoretical framework that models the vacuum as a meson field to derive the interaction energy and force between two parallel metal plates, drawing an analogy to the nuclear force between nucleons described in Quantum Hadrodynamics.
This paper reports on the development and application of the HF-NRevo framework, which provides a consistent perturbative description of heavy-flavor fragmentation for -wave quarkonia and fully heavy tetraquarks, enabling new investigations into medium effects in heavy-ion collisions and the intrinsic charm content of the proton at future collider facilities.
This paper presents the first lattice-QCD determination of dimension-six four-quark matrix elements for heavy-meson lifetime ratios using gradient flow renormalization on 2+1-flavor domain-wall fermion ensembles, achieving NNLO matching to the scheme and providing precise bag parameters with a full error budget.
This paper demonstrates that the gradient flow combined with short flow-time expansion (GF+SFTX) serves as an effective renormalization procedure for calculating precise bag parameters of four-quark operators relevant to neutral heavy-meson mixing and lifetimes, successfully applying this method to six RBC/UKQCD domain-wall fermion ensembles to obtain results consistent with existing determinations while providing a robust framework for handling power-divergent mixing in future lattice computations.
This paper presents an exactly solvable non-Hermitian Klein-Gordon model where an anomalous inverse-square potential, combined with outgoing boundary conditions, transforms the fall-to-the-center instability into a discrete, log-periodic spectrum of complex energies, thereby establishing a universal framework for quantized dissipation and emergent scale anomalies in relativistic open quantum systems.
This paper reviews recent advances in lattice QCD calculations of hadron structure, specifically for pions, kaons, and nucleons, highlighting how these theoretical developments provide essential insights to inform the scientific agenda of the Electron-Ion Collider.
This paper proposes that implementing early axion relaxation through high-scale confinement within an $SU(5)$ grand unified theory during inflation generates an early potential that dilutes the axion's energy density, thereby removing the cosmological upper bound on the axion decay constant and allowing it to serve as a viable dark matter candidate for arbitrarily large values across all known axion models.
