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 the first next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD event generation for production matched to parton showers using the MiNNLOPS method, which incorporates a novel pointwise combination of soft and high-energy two-loop amplitude approximations to provide robust, publicly available predictions for Higgs-boson decay into photons with off-shell top-quark decays.
This paper presents precise calculations for the $ZH$ production cross-section and invariant mass distribution at the LHC by improving both quark- and gluon-initiated subprocesses through leading and sub-leading soft gluon threshold resummation within the QCD framework.
This paper investigates the lightest and second-lightest Higgs bosons within a CP-violating next-to-minimal B-L supersymmetric model (NB-LSSM), demonstrating how CP-violating phases and specific parameters induce significant mixing in the Higgs sector to successfully fit both the 125 GeV SM-like Higgs data and the hypothetical 95 GeV excess.
This paper presents a third-order QCD analysis of threshold resummation for Drell-Yan type colorless processes at the LHC, demonstrating that matching NLL resummation with NLO fixed-order results significantly reduces theoretical scale uncertainties from approximately 0.4% to below 0.1% in the high invariant mass region.
This paper presents the updated 2025 Physics Briefing Book for the Latin American Strategy Forum for Research Infrastructure in High Energy, Cosmology, and Astroparticle Physics (LASF4RI-HECAP), which synthesizes 46 community white papers and symposium discussions to establish a long-term strategic roadmap across seven key scientific and technical working groups.
This paper presents a study of second-order QCD corrections for the decay of a pseudoscalar Higgs boson into three partons within an effective theory framework, providing essential results for predicting differential distributions of the Higgs boson in association with jets at hadron colliders.
This paper presents threshold-resummed predictions for vector boson pair (WW and ZZ) production at the LHC at NNLO+NNLL accuracy, demonstrating that the inclusion of resummed corrections reduces scale uncertainties and adds a few percent to the fixed-order results.
This paper presents a numerically efficient method for evaluating a two-loop contribution to the dark-matter trispectrum by expanding around a fixed reference cosmology, achieving sub-percent accuracy with only third-order terms and offering a practical pathway for faster computations of higher-order correlators in the Effective Field Theory of Large-Scale Structure.
This paper proposes that if neutron star mergers trigger a first-order quantum chromodynamics phase transition, the resulting bubble nucleation and dynamics would generate distinctive megahertz-range gravitational waves, offering a new observational window for future detectors.
This paper re-evaluates Standard Model vacuum stability using high-order perturbations and precise parameters to show that improved measurements of the top mass and strong coupling could confirm stability at the level, while also exploring viable singlet scalar extensions that remain stable up to the Planck scale and predicting significant deviations in Higgs couplings testable at current and future colliders.
