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 constructs canonical master integrals and forms for planar and non-planar two-loop Feynman integral families relevant to vector boson fusion Higgs production at NNLO QCD, providing strategies to handle nested square roots and expressing the results in an algebraically independent function basis via numerical integration of differential equations.
This paper demonstrates that the newly observed LHCb beauty-strange state is the natural bottom partner of the , emerging as a bound state with a large component and an isospin-violating width that is successfully described by coupled-channel chiral amplitudes constrained by lattice QCD without requiring direct experimental input.
This paper presents a data-driven method for constructing dimensionally consistent surrogate models by combining Buckingham -groups with truncated harmonic expansions, demonstrating improved conditioning, robustness, and sample efficiency across various physical systems compared to unconstrained baselines.
This paper proposes a hierarchical framework that transforms gravitational-wave dark sirens from purely cosmological tools into astrophysical probes capable of simultaneously inferring galaxy-merger relations and identifying individual host galaxies, as demonstrated by successfully recovering NGC 4993 as the host of GW170817.
This paper proposes a method to study particle correlations in high-energy jets by comparing measured energy-energy correlators with those constructed from individual energy flows, revealing that genuine correlations stem from correlated splitting at moderate to large angles and exhibit a unique energy-dependent pattern at small angles that can be used to probe jet energy loss in heavy-ion collisions.
This paper demonstrates that while leading-order soft-graviton arguments incorrectly suggest gravitational waves enhance particle decay rates, a rigorous all-orders resummation reveals that Bose-enhanced emission and absorption exactly cancel, preserving the infrared safety and mutual transparency between matter and gravitational radiation.
This paper improves upon previous estimates of energy released as "scalar tsunamis" when black holes form by incorporating general relativistic effects and refined initial field modeling, finding that while the total energy remains comparable to flat space predictions, the resulting spectrum undergoes significant corrections.
This paper analyzes Belle II data to demonstrate that a light invisible resonance with a mass of approximately 2.1 GeV provides a compelling and statistically significant explanation for the observed excess in decays, strongly favoring a new-physics hypothesis over the Standard Model alone.
Using the Cornwall-Jackiw-Tomboulis method, this paper demonstrates that a massless fermion coupled to a scalar field with interaction can dynamically acquire mass through spontaneous symmetry breaking when the coupling constant exceeds a specific threshold, whereas it remains massless within that threshold where the vacuum stays symmetric.
This paper proposes and applies a Regge trajectory approach to estimate the mass spectra of doubly heavy triquarks and their associated pentaquark states, demonstrating its utility as a simple method for investigating hadronic excitations.
