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 lattice QCD study at the flavour symmetric point reveals attractive interactions and multiple pole singularities in the flavour-exotic sector, identifying partners of the experimentally observed and states, while finding only weak interactions without poles in the sector.
This paper presents continuum-extrapolated lattice simulations of hot QCD at the physical point using the complex Langevin equation to determine the equation of state at unprecedentedly high baryon densities, demonstrating controlled convergence and agreement with previous lattice and perturbative results.
This review synthesizes the current experimental landscape for measuring the tau lepton's anomalous magnetic moment, contrasting the complementary strengths of Ultra-Peripheral Heavy-Ion Collisions and proton-proton data at the LHC with the superior precision prospects of future lepton colliders like Belle II and FCC-ee.
This paper investigates the potential of the DUNE near detector to probe a five-dimensional gauge extension of the Standard Model, which addresses the muon anomaly, by analyzing elastic neutrino-electron scattering data to explore MeV-scale parameter spaces and interference effects between multiple massive gauge bosons.
This paper calculates the masses and decay widths of P-wave charmonium-like and bottomonium-like tetraquark states using a constituent quark model, suggesting that the exotic Y states , , , and can be tentatively assigned as such tetraquark configurations.
The paper introduces \texttt{IAFormer}, a novel Transformer-based architecture that leverages boost-invariant pairwise quantities and a dynamic sparse "differential attention" mechanism to achieve state-of-the-art classification performance on collider data with over an order of magnitude greater computational efficiency than existing Particle Transformer models.
This paper employs Soft Collinear Effective Theory (SCET) to factorize polarized Deep Inelastic Scattering structure functions and near the limit, calculating one-loop matching coefficients and anomalous dimensions to sum Sudakov double logarithms and clarify the operator structure of twist-three contributions.
This paper critiques a recent study (arXiv:2507.07180) by arguing that its proposed ad-hoc symmetrization of Dirac neutrino amplitudes lacks physical justification and incorrectly violates lepton number conservation within the Standard Model.
This paper proposes using the one-point energy correlator (OPEC) in transversely polarized proton-proton collisions as a novel, infrared-and-collinear safe method to probe the nucleon's transversity distribution with a clean angular asymmetry over a wider kinematic range than traditional hadron transverse momentum measurements.
This paper investigates the prospects for detecting long-lived heavy neutral leptons (HNLs) at the high-luminosity LHC via an axion-like particle (ALP) portal, utilizing simulations for both far detectors and ATLAS while also evaluating sensitivities from dimension-8 operators in the limit of heavy ALP masses.
