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 investigates the prospects for measuring $CP$-violation in decays at the LHC by introducing new time-dependent angular observables, demonstrating that future Run 3–5 datasets will enable their extraction with high precision and significantly enhance sensitivity to $CP$-violating short-distance effects and Wilson coefficients.
This paper presents state-of-the-art Standard Model predictions for production at the LHC's 13.6 TeV energy, providing updated cross sections and matched simulations in both five-flavour and four-flavour schemes while exploring their implications for Beyond-the-Standard-Model scenarios and Higgs coupling sensitivities.
This paper demonstrates that the QCD dipole density equations naturally yield 'fan' diagrams, which, when used to calculate large Pomeron loop contributions to dipole-dipole scattering, result in a gluon distribution following the KNO law and an entropy consistent with Kharzeev-Levin predictions.
Using worldline quantum field theory, this paper computes the conservative scattering angle and impulse for black holes at fifth post-Minkowskian order by performing a complex four-loop calculation that identifies and resolves a spurious velocity divergence through a novel conservative propagator prescription, thereby ensuring consistency with radiative memory and tail contributions while satisfying all known low-velocity limits.
Using 14 GeV-band gamma-ray burst photons within the Standard-Model Extension framework, this study employs Bayesian analysis to establish the most stringent constraints to date on isotropic, birefringence-free Lorentz-violating coefficients for dimensions and $10$, improving previous bounds by at least five orders of magnitude while indicating a preference for subluminal effects.
This paper introduces NeutrinoOsc3Flavor, a lightweight, NumPy-based Python framework that provides a transparent and pedagogical numerical solution for three-flavor neutrino oscillations in vacuum and matter, featuring exact CP phase dependence, cross-platform compatibility, and an independent analytical validation of matter effects using the Cardano method.
The paper proposes using simple, inexpensive hydrogenated carbon structures as highly sensitive, directional detectors capable of identifying sub-GeV dark matter through the quasi-elastic ejection of protons, offering superior performance and background rejection compared to current experiments.
This paper demonstrates that longitudinal beam polarization at future colliders serves as a powerful control knob for quantum resources in fermion pair production, significantly modulating non-stabilizerness ("magic") while preserving entanglement and Bell nonlocality in -channel processes, and offering a unique experimental platform to observe these quantum information properties with high statistical significance.
This paper establishes a complete basis of dimension-eight operators in the SMEFT using Hilbert series formalism and demonstrates that their distinct kinematic signatures, specifically in right-handed neutrino pair production at the HL-LHC, can be experimentally distinguished from dimension-six effects using Boosted Decision Tree analysis.
This paper proposes that - and $CP$-violating effects in the quark-gluon plasma enhance synchrotron radiation while suppressing its elliptic flow, potentially resolving the missing direct photons puzzle in heavy-ion collisions.
