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 four-loop renormalization of generalized 3-quark operators in the MSbar scheme, determining the anomalous dimensions of the four core operators for nucleon matrix elements and analyzing their critical exponents within the conformal window via the Banks-Zaks expansion.
This paper employs a quantum field theory framework to derive oscillation probabilities for Dirac neutrinos in external matter and magnetic fields, overcoming specific formal challenges related to dressed propagators and right-handed neutrino observability while identifying small QFT corrections to standard quantum mechanical predictions.
This paper investigates chiral symmetry breaking in accelerating and rotating frames using low-energy effective models, revealing that the conclusion regarding acceleration-dependent critical temperatures hinges on the chosen renormalization scheme and demonstrating that rotation cooperates with acceleration to lower the critical acceleration required for chiral symmetry restoration.
This paper demonstrates that metastable cosmic strings arising in single-scale electroweak-like dark sectors can explain the stochastic gravitational-wave background observed by Pulsar Timing Arrays through the quantum decay of classically stable strings via monopole-antimonopole pair nucleation, a process validated by a thin-defect approximation across the phenomenologically favored parameter space.
This paper establishes a systematic link between neutrino oscillation quartet observables and rescaled leptonic unitarity triangles by deriving matter-effect relations for CP-conserving invariants and the Jarlskog invariant, supported by numerical analyses using global fit data.
This paper demonstrates that dilaton effective field theory serves as a diagnostic tool to distinguish between near-conformal confining and infrared conformal gauge theories, successfully applying this framework to lattice data for $SU(3)$ with fundamental fermions (favoring confinement) and $SU(2)$ with adjoint fermion (favoring conformal behavior).
This paper presents a unified symmetry-preserving contact interaction analysis of the thermal screening masses for vector and axial-vector mesons and their diquark partners, demonstrating agreement with experimental data at zero temperature and signaling chiral symmetry restoration through the convergence of parity partners at high temperatures.
This paper demonstrates that the JUNO experiment's ability to determine the neutrino mass ordering could be severely compromised or completely lost due to a previously unrecognized resonant enhancement of the mixing angle induced by scalar non-standard neutrino interactions.
This paper investigates whether superluminal photon propagation in the Drummond-Hathrell effective action violates causality in curved spacetime by applying global causal structure analysis and quantum-field-theoretic microcausality diagnostics, concluding that such propagation remains causally benign within the theory's regime of validity for specific gravitational backgrounds.
This paper refines estimates of energy released as "scalar tsunamis" when light scalar fields surrounding collapsing stars are liberated upon black hole formation, demonstrating that while the total energy remains comparable to flat-space predictions, general relativity and improved initial modeling significantly alter the resulting energy spectrum.
