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 utilizes QCD light-cone sum rules to calculate the electromagnetic multipole moments of -type strange hidden-charm pentaquarks, revealing distinct magnetic dipole, electric quadrupole, and magnetic octupole signatures that depend on diquark structure and provide key discriminants to differentiate between compact pentaquark and molecular interpretations.
This paper reviews the role of primordial black holes as dark matter candidates and probes into binary black hole mergers, with a specific focus on how the cosmological QCD phase transition and physics beyond the Standard Model influence their formation probability and the cosmic equation of state.
This paper utilizes Born-Oppenheimer effective field theory (BOEFT) to systematically quantify open-flavor threshold effects on the quarkonium spectrum by solving coupled Schrödinger equations with lattice-constrained static potentials, successfully reproducing experimental data and providing a field-theoretical interpretation of the phenomenological model's pair-creation constant.
This paper presents novel next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (LO) predictions for photon-pair production in high-energy hadron collisions, successfully demonstrating perturbative convergence and addressing significant computational challenges for Large Hadron Collider phenomenology.
This paper systematically compares Boltzmann and Bogoliubov frameworks for graviton production from an oscillating inflaton condensate, demonstrating that while both methods agree for quadratic potentials at short wavelengths, the Bogoliubov formalism is essential for capturing significant non-adiabatic transition effects in steeper potentials () that the perturbative Boltzmann approach misses.
This paper proposes that the appropriate initial conditions for hydrodynamic evolution in small collision systems can be derived by coarse-graining the proton's quantum wave function into a semi-classical, positive-definite Wehrl-like entropy, thereby bridging the gap between pure quantum states and the maximally mixed states required by relativistic hydrodynamics.
This paper extends the 331LHN model by introducing scalar leptoquarks to demonstrate that a singlet leptoquark with a mass between 1.8 and 6 TeV can explain the muon anomalous magnetic moment discrepancy while satisfying constraints from lepton flavor violation and LHC bounds, with a predicted normal hierarchical Yukawa coupling pattern and suppressed current collider signals.
This paper systematically analyzes ultralight dark matter effects on neutrino oscillations using T2K and NOA data, revealing that stochastic fluctuations in the low-mass regime significantly relax coupling constraints while failing to resolve the existing tension in the CP-violating phase between the two experiments.
The paper demonstrates that the standard low-energy effective field theory of quantum gravity predicts unobservably small vacuum fluctuations in interferometers, implying that any future detection of large gravitationally-induced length variations would signal a fundamental breakdown of this theory.
This paper derives gravitational positivity bounds for the Higgs-portal scalar dark matter model, revealing that new physics must emerge below GeV for light dark matter without self-coupling, while heavy dark matter (– GeV) with specific couplings can satisfy grand unified theory scale constraints and be consistent with the observed relic abundance via the freeze-in mechanism.
