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 paper systematically investigates baryon number violating nucleon decays into one lepton and two mesons using the low-energy effective field theory framework, deriving significantly improved partial lifetime bounds for 31 decay modes by constraining Wilson coefficients with existing experimental data on two-body decays.
This paper introduces a relativistic Hartree-Fock framework with momentum-dependent nuclear interactions to improve the calculation of charged-current neutrino opacities for astrophysical simulations, revealing significant discrepancies and substantial shifts in medium-dependent modifications compared to commonly used relativistic mean-field models.
This paper demonstrates that the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) can detect and constrain the masses and self-interaction strengths of axion-like particles forming gravitational atoms around black holes by analyzing the dephasing effects they induce on gravitational waveforms from extreme- and intermediate-mass-ratio inspirals.
This study demonstrates that in a dynamically assisted Schwinger mechanism driven by counterpropagating circularly polarized laser pulses, dynamical assistance not only enhances total electron-positron pair production but also significantly amplifies helicity asymmetry, causing right- and left-handed electrons to preferentially populate opposite momentum half-spaces with a ratio governed primarily by the polar angle.
This paper proposes a minimal and predictive Type-I seesaw model based on an extended symmetry that yields a specific neutrino mass texture favoring normal hierarchy and predicting mixing parameters, while simultaneously constraining the scalar sector, charged lepton flavor violation, and baryon asymmetry generation.
This paper rigorously proves that for finite-range potentials featuring an inner repulsive core and an outer attractive tail, the effective range remains strictly positive whenever the scattering length exceeds the potential's range, thereby providing a fundamental constraint on using the sign of the effective range to distinguish exotic hadron configurations.
This paper computes the gravitational form factors of pion and kaon mesons using Basis Light-Front Quantization, finding agreement with lattice QCD for the form factor while observing an enhanced magnitude for the form factor at low momentum transfer due to zero-mode effects, and subsequently derives the mesons' mass and mechanical radii along with their internal pressure and shear-force distributions.
This paper introduces Nested-GPT, a hierarchical autoregressive Transformer that dynamically simulates variable-multiplicity parton showers and successfully resums non-global logarithms, offering a physically consistent alternative to flow-matching baselines that require fixed emission multiplicities.
This paper investigates the recently observed decays within a final-state rescattering framework, demonstrating that long-distance interactions successfully explain the measured branching fractions while predicting nearly vanishing CP asymmetries and a sizable longitudinal polarization for the mode.
This paper presents a Markov chain Monte Carlo-based likelihood analysis of unpolarized and polarized Deeply Virtual Exclusive Meson Production data from Jefferson Lab to extract and constrain Chiral-Odd Compton Form Factors.
