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.

Using the PACIAE 4.0 model, this study proposes that the newly observed particle could be a -wave meson, an -wave tetraquark, or a hadro-strangeonium state, and distinguishes these candidates by calculating their production rates and kinematic distributions in collisions.
This study investigates the impact of early-time charm quark dynamics on D-meson observables in Pb+Pb collisions at TeV using the IP-Glasma+MUSIC+UrQMD framework and finds that despite significant momentum broadening in the pre-equilibrium stage, the nuclear modification factor () and elliptic flow () of D-mesons remain only weakly sensitive to these early interactions.
This study employs a refined AMPT transport model with adjusted beauty quark mass and flavor-specific coalescence parameters to successfully reproduce LHCb and ALICE data on beauty and non-prompt charm hadron production in 13 TeV $pp$ collisions, offering new insights into heavy quark dynamics and hadronization mechanisms in small collision systems.
This paper proposes a minimal Type-I seesaw model governed by non-holomorphic modular symmetry, where neutrino masses and mixings are determined solely by a modulus parameter, successfully accommodating oscillation data and generating the observed baryon asymmetry via thermal leptogenesis while predicting a testable effective Majorana mass for future neutrinoless double-beta decay experiments.
This paper completes the one-loop soft-gluon approximation for massive QCD amplitudes by deriving a new soft operator that preserves on-shell conditions and momentum conservation, while also providing the necessary subleading collinear expansion for massless quark-antiquark pairs.
This paper employs an effective field theory approach to quantify how multiple light axions contribute to the relativistic degrees of freedom (), revealing that their detectability by current and future cosmic microwave background surveys depends sensitively on the flavor structure of their interactions with Standard Model fermions.
By applying the BK equation to model gluon occupancy and entropy, this study demonstrates that while protons remain below the unitarity bound, heavy nuclei reach the "saturon" limit at small , identifying nuclei as the optimal environment for observing this high-occupancy QCD phenomenon.
Using the in-medium Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model and the lesser Green's function, this study demonstrates that von Neumann chirality entropy serves as a distinct thermodynamic measure of chiral quantum decoherence with a unique scaling exponent, revealing that chiral symmetry restoration and chiral decoherence are separate phenomena not fully captured by conventional order parameters.
This paper presents state-of-the-art predictions for muon-electron scattering at the MUonE experiment by performing the first all-order resummation of soft and soft-collinear logarithms, matched with higher-order corrections to significantly reduce perturbative uncertainties and accurately describe the signal region.
This paper proposes that ultra-peripheral ion collisions generate entangled multi-particle states through shared photon polarization, leading to distinct azimuthal angular correlations that differ significantly between classical and quantum predictions and offer new avenues for testing multi-particle entanglement.
