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 demonstrates within the holographic QCD framework that the ground state in a strong magnetic field and finite baryon density is a chiral soliton lattice, which is interpreted as uniformly distributed D4-branes and unified through five-dimensional instanton charge, leading to a magnetic-field-dependent pion decay constant that qualitatively agrees with lattice QCD results.
This paper argues that complex low-temperature thermal corrections from heavy degrees of freedom in first-order phase transitions can be effectively modeled by a single new parameter, which is then used to quantify the resulting shifts in transition parameters and their impact on gravitational wave signals and cosmological observables.
This paper computes the hadronic vacuum polarization to three loops in two-flavor chiral perturbation theory, identifying six elliptic master integrals and establishing previously unknown relations essential for renormalizability to provide a foundation for phenomenological and lattice QCD applications.
This paper demonstrates that high-energy muon colliders, through detailed simulations of vector boson fusion processes within the SMEFT framework, offer significantly superior sensitivity to CP-violating electroweak operators compared to current and projected LHC and ILC capabilities.
This paper demonstrates that the hypothetical mesonic atom kaonium () manifests as a sharp resonance near 992 MeV in photon-photon collision cross-sections, significantly improving the fit to experimental data for processes like despite its short lifetime and narrow width making direct detection challenging.
Using a QCD Hamiltonian model in Coulomb gauge with a constituent quasigluon, this study calculates the strong decays of light exotic and hybrid mesons, finding both to be narrow states, with the unexpected narrowness of the state attributed to the suppression of a unique decay mode in this framework.
This paper investigates a string closepacking mechanism during hadronization that increases effective string tension to explain the LHC-observed rise in strange-hadron production with multiplicity, a model that successfully tunes to data and qualitatively describes many particle ratios despite challenges with the non-strange p/pi ratio and specific spectral shapes.
This paper presents a full three-loop calculation of the electron electric dipole moment induced by CP-violating Yukawa interactions of SU(2) multiplets, revealing that the total contribution is three times larger than the previously estimated value derived solely from the electroweak-Weinberg operator.
This paper utilizes arrival time delays and Faraday rotation measurements from Fast Radio Bursts propagating through chiral cosmic media within the Maxwell-Carroll-Field-Jackiw framework to establish stringent upper bounds on chiral parameters, reaching as low as GeV.
This paper demonstrates that reconstructing spin density matrices via quantum tomography and analyzing quantum information-inspired observables for near-threshold top-antitop production at the LHC significantly enhances the sensitivity to detect subtle toponium formation effects.
