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.

Below are the latest papers in this dynamic field, ready for you to explore with clarity and depth.
This study employs Bayesian inference with hadronic and quark matter models to demonstrate that while the presence of large quark cores in 1.4 solar mass neutron stars depends on the specific quark model used, both frameworks predict quark matter in 2 solar mass stars, with the mass-radius curve slope serving as a key indicator of non-nucleonic matter.
Using a lattice Boltzmann-Uehling-Uhlenbeck transport model with a density-, momentum-, and isospin-dependent NLO Skyrme pseudopotential, this study analyzes proton anisotropic flows in Au+Au collisions at to demonstrate their strong sensitivity to momentum-dependent mean-field potentials and the symmetric nuclear matter incompressibility, while highlighting the need to incorporate higher-order equation-of-state parameters and in-medium cross-section modifications for future Bayesian extractions of nuclear matter properties.
This paper presents the first implementation of a quantum vacuum signal emission module within an established diffractive beam propagation toolkit, enabling realistic modeling of optical experiments to accurately predict and separate vacuum birefringence signals from background noise in counter-propagating laser beam collisions.
This paper presents a fully differential next-to-next-to-leading order QED calculation of the process, implemented in the McMule framework to enable precise luminosity measurements for electron-positron colliders with center-of-mass energies up to a few GeV.
The DAMSA conceptual design white paper proposes a novel short-baseline accelerator experiment utilizing the PIP-II LINAC to probe MeV-to-sub-GeV dark-sector messengers and rare Standard Model signals by overcoming beam-dump sensitivity limits with a compact detector, a strategy whose feasibility will be validated through the proposed Little DAMSA Path-Finder (LDPF) proof-of-concept experiment.
This study employs a cosmological model-independent artificial neural network approach to reconstruct angular-diameter distances from localized Fast Radio Bursts and compare them with Type Ia supernova luminosity distances, finding no statistically significant evidence for deviations from the cosmic distance-duality relation.
This paper computes relativistic corrections to gluon fragmentation into heavy quarkonium states within the NRQCD framework, revealing that - mixing is required to handle infrared divergences and that substantial negative corrections significantly impact production predictions at the LHC.
This paper proposes a Regge trajectory approach to estimate the mass spectra of doubly heavy triquarks and their associated pentaquark and hexaquark excitations, demonstrating that this method yields results consistent with other theoretical predictions.
This paper presents all-orders calculations incorporating the Breit interaction for moderately charged Cs and Fr ions, revealing that while these corrections significantly improve fine-structure intervals and are substantial for f states, they do not fully resolve existing discrepancies with experimental energy levels.
This paper proposes a non-holomorphic modular scotogenic model with tri-resonant leptogenesis that successfully generates baryogenesis at the low scale of GeV for both normal and inverted neutrino mass hierarchies, while predicting specific neutrino oscillation parameters and being constrained by cosmological data that currently disfavors the inverted hierarchy scenario.
