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 compact approximate expressions for the third-order QCD coefficient functions of the structure functions , , and in charged-current deep-inelastic scattering, thereby completing the description of unpolarized inclusive exchange processes and providing a unified collection of lower-order contributions for phenomenological analyses.
This paper demonstrates that extending the Standard Model with a second Higgs doublet can simultaneously explain multiple experimental anomalies, including flavor-violating Higgs decays, the W mass discrepancy, and B-physics tensions, while remaining consistent with stringent flavor constraints and predicting testable signatures like modified Higgs-tau couplings and top-quark flavor-changing decays at the LHC.
This paper employs categorical algebraic geometry to explore how abelianisation can facilitate the embedding of Beyond the Standard Model scenarios within supersymmetric frameworks derived from string theory.
This paper calculates the amplitudes for axion photoproduction off the nucleon () within chiral effective field theory by incorporating nucleon exchanges, the vertex, and vector meson exchanges, ultimately demonstrating how distinct production mechanisms manifest in cross sections to help distinguish between different axion models.
This paper proposes a direct detection strategy for ultralight dark matter by searching for time-dependent modulations in charged lepton flavor-violating decays (such as and ) at accelerator-based experiments like Mu3e, Belle-II, and FCC-ee.
This paper investigates axion mass mixing in the string axiverse from a bottom-up perspective, identifying that maximal mixing occurs when all axion-like particle masses are smaller than the QCD axion mass with no degeneracies and uniform decay constant hierarchies, while energy transfer is restricted to the pair of axions with the closest masses.
This paper demonstrates that axion thermalization rates in the early Universe are significantly underestimated above 100 MeV when neglecting axion-kaon interactions, as the inclusion of the channel—enhanced by hadron resonances—substantially increases scattering cross sections and leads to more stringent constraints on axion parameters from cosmological observations.
This paper employs resonance chiral theory to jointly analyze semileptonic tau decays into two-meson and axion-meson channels, determining hadron resonance parameters from experimental data to predict branching ratios, spectra, and forward-backward asymmetries for various processes relevant to future tau experiments.
This paper utilizes recent LHCb data to demonstrate that both the Fragmenting Jet Function (FJF) and Gluon Fragmentation Improved Pythia (GFIP) formalisms significantly outperform default Pythia+NRQCD predictions in describing production in jets, while highlighting the distribution's utility as a discriminator to reveal large discrepancies among different Long-Distance Matrix Element (LDME) extractions.
This paper proposes that the compact star XTE J1814-338 is a strange star containing over 70% self-interacting bosonic dark matter, a model that yields a falsifiable upper limit on the dark matter particle mass and can be tested by future NICER and LIGO/Virgo observations.
