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 derives a closed-form expression quantifying how the Monte Carlo replica method's estimation of parameter uncertainties deviates from the exact Bayesian posterior in nonlinear models, attributing the discrepancy to a computable residual-weighted Hessian matrix.
This paper identifies the origin of perturbative instabilities in NNLO QCD corrections to quarkonium production and decay within non-relativistic QCD and proposes a simple remedy involving soft contributions that significantly improves convergence and agreement with experimental data for S-wave color-singlet processes.
This paper demonstrates that transverse-longitudinal polarization interference in exclusive jets processes vanishes upon phase-space integration for decays but is softened by parity violation for and bosons, providing a framework to account for fiducial cuts and implications for new physics and heavy ion collisions.
This paper introduces the Minimum Resolution Likelihood (MRL) method, which defines a Fiducial Signal Region to convert systematic uncertainties into statistical ones, thereby ensuring unbiased signal strength estimation in collider analyses that utilize Machine Learning models.
Using the heavy-flavor improved AMPT model, this study demonstrates that the forward-backward asymmetry in prompt D0 meson production and elliptic flow in 8.16 TeV p-Pb collisions arises from the interplay of initial-state cold nuclear matter effects and final-state partonic interactions, providing evidence for the formation of a partonic medium in high-multiplicity events.
This theoretical study employs the generalized Stokes-Mueller formalism to demonstrate that while polarization entanglement in 511 keV annihilation photon pairs is highly sensitive to Compton scattering geometry and vanishes at right angles, quantum coherence persists even in regimes where entanglement is lost, offering critical insights for quantum-enhanced positron emission tomography.
This study reveals that the long-term evolution and stability of compact stellar systems in ultralight dark matter halos are significantly influenced by stellar metallicity, the Milky Way's tidal field, and a counterintuitive heating effect that strengthens with increasing particle mass in specific size regimes, suggesting that current constraints on ultralight dark matter derived from these systems may require revision.
This paper presents a unified afterburner framework that successfully describes light anti-nuclei production via coalescence and anti-nucleon interactions in LHC proton-proton collisions, reproducing experimental spectra and correlation observables without fine-tuning.
This paper reviews scale-invariant, fractal-based models of proton structure and explores their qualitative conceptual connections to modern holographic QCD approaches, suggesting that self-similar scaling patterns observed in deep inelastic scattering may reflect underlying geometric properties in the holographic description of QCD.
This paper proposes searching for the structure via the reaction using an effective Lagrangian approach to determine its nature as a genuine resonance or molecular state, free from the interference effects present in collisions.
