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 develops a revised TMD factorization formalism for dijet production with a transversely polarized target at the EIC, incorporating NLO evolution kernels to predict significant gluon Sivers asymmetries ranging from 5% to 50%.
This paper proposes a Generalized Cosmological Time framework that resolves conflicting time dilation observations by distinguishing between discrete, gravitationally shielded transients (SNe Ia and GRBs) that exhibit geometric path dilation and persistent thermal sources (QSOs) whose signals are masked by intrinsic selection effects.
This paper presents a combined analysis of solar neutrino data from the XENONnT, PandaX-4T, and LUX-ZEPLIN experiments to constrain the solar B neutrino flux and weak mixing angle while establishing competitive bounds on nonstandard neutrino interactions mediated by both light and heavy vector particles.
This paper proposes using charged-current electron-proton scattering at the Electron-Ion Collider to simultaneously constrain the nucleon axial form factor and the parity-violating structure function , finding that while the latter can be robustly extracted with sub-percent precision, the former's sensitivity is severely limited by background noise, necessitating unprecedented suppression levels to achieve competitive precision.
This paper offers a pedagogical introduction and practical tools for managing the increasing complexity of n-point correlation functions in quantum field theory by utilizing Lorentz invariance and symmetries as organizing principles for their tensor decompositions.
This paper presents a four-magnitude parameterization derived from a specific Froggatt--Nielsen lattice model with one flavon and three messengers, which translates fermion Yukawa textures into sharp, coefficient-free predictions for quark weak mixing.
This paper proposes a single-field inflation model where the inflaton is the dilaton of a confining gauge theory, deriving a Coleman--Weinberg potential constrained by the trace anomaly that, when coupled non-minimally to gravity, yields a plateau consistent with CMB data while predicting specific, testable deviations in spectral indices driven by the Migdal--Shifman logarithmic structure.
This paper elucidates how the topological structure of Calabi-Yau threefolds in heterotic string theory generates specific Yukawa textures, such as the Weinberg texture, and demonstrates that a flavor symmetry emerging at specific moduli loci can produce semi-realistic quark mass and mixing patterns through small perturbations.
This paper compares the sensitivity of the upcoming P2SO and DUNE long-baseline neutrino experiments to non-unitarity in the PMNS matrix, revealing their complementary strengths in constraining specific non-unitarity parameters and demonstrating how these effects significantly influence precision measurements of standard oscillation parameters.
This paper proposes a new, information-theoretic measure of fine-tuning based on the Fisher information metric, which generalizes the Barbieri--Giudice criterion to multiple correlated parameters and provides a geometric interpretation of sensitivity as the stretching of the parameter space submanifold within observable space.
