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 proposes that the annihilation of domain walls can generate a distinctive two-peak gravitational wave spectrum by triggering an early matter-dominated phase via the decay of long-lived scalars, which amplifies induced signals while diluting the direct domain wall contribution, thereby offering a multi-band detection strategy to probe early universe symmetry breaking.
This paper presents a systematic, Lorentz-covariant technique using spinor Young tableaux to construct generalized form factor bases for hadronic matrix elements of scalar, vector, and tensor operators across arbitrary spins, notably providing the first general - and -conserved structures for spin- and spin-$2$ particles while correcting redundancies found in existing literature.
This paper utilizes the PYTHIA8 Monte Carlo model to simulate and analyze the polarization of and quarkonia in proton-proton collisions at 7 and 13 TeV, incorporating detector effects to compare theoretical predictions with recent ALICE experimental measurements.
This contribution suggests that significant long-range rescattering effects, particularly the process , explain the large experimental branching ratios in singly Cabibbo-suppressed decays and naturally predict direct asymmetries at the level of , thereby establishing these decays as a promising new approach for investigating violation.
This contribution evaluates and compares perturbation-based, Shapley-value-based, and gradient-based interpretability methods adapted for the representation of the Lund-Jet-Plane and demonstrates that these techniques successfully correlate neural network predictions with classical QCD observables while revealing pronounced shifts in focus between perturbative and non-perturbative regimes in jet tagging.
This paper develops a general path-integral formalism for scalar thermal field theory in rotating equilibrium systems, demonstrating that angular momentum can significantly enhance particle production, such as Higgs boson production via dark sector couplings.
This paper introduces a new spinor-helicity-based formalism to generalize partial wave unitarity bounds for complex scattering processes and high-spin theories, demonstrating how these bounds complement positivity constraints in restricting the parameter space of effective field theories.
This paper proposes a model for the cosmological formation of superheavy Q-balls from a hidden sector scalar potential, demonstrating that these objects could potentially explain dark matter, facilitate the formation of galaxies and supermassive black holes, or exist as asteroid-mass particles consistent with current observational limits.
This paper calculates helicity-dependent next-to-leading power logarithms in +jet production using spinor shifts and soft quark operators, confirming that these corrections follow a recently proposed universal structure for processes involving massive colorless final states.
This paper investigates the resonant production of and bosons via electron-positron annihilation in FSRQ jets, concluding that while the resulting diffuse neutrino flux peaks at redshift , it remains orders of magnitude below current detection thresholds and constitutes a negligible fraction of the total astrophysical neutrino background.
