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 evaluates the viability of , , and discrete flavour symmetries by incorporating the first JUNO measurement of into global neutrino oscillation data, revealing that the number of compatible mixing pattern cases is reduced from five to three for normal ordering and from four to two for inverted ordering at the confidence level.
This paper demonstrates that the Smeared Null Energy Condition (SNEC) imposes significant constraints on the viability of Genesis cosmology models within generalized Galileon theories, establishing SNEC as a powerful tool for limiting nonsingular cosmological scenarios that rely on null energy condition violations.
This paper establishes a gauge-independent framework for predicting gravitational wave signals from first-order phase transitions in a minimal gauged dark sector, mapping viable microscopic parameters to detector observables while simultaneously identifying cosmologically consistent dark matter candidates.
This paper presents a gauge-invariant scheme for longitudinal electroweak gauge bosons in the Herwig 7 parton shower by incorporating Ward-identity-fixed Goldstone-matching terms, which ensures numerical stability and controlled corrections at lower energy scales while preserving the transverse sector and yielding interpretable shifts in electroweak-sensitive observables.
This paper introduces a new parametrization for N-point energy correlators that enables the derivation of a general factorization theorem in the back-to-back limit and the analytic determination of leading non-perturbative power corrections for arbitrary N, including non-integer values, thereby facilitating future precision extractions of the strong coupling constant.
This review summarizes how rare multi-top quark production processes (specifically three- and four-top events) are utilized within the Standard Model Effective Field Theory framework to constrain dimension-six Wilson coefficients, while also addressing their complementarity, associated challenges, and future prospects.
This paper demonstrates that a multi-component dark matter model, specifically one with two distinct particle species annihilating exclusively into single final states, provides a statistically superior explanation for the Galactic Center GeV Excess compared to the traditional single-particle paradigm, effectively resolving spectral mismatches and alleviating tension with current constraints.
This paper investigates the robustness of the JUNO-long-baseline synergy in determining the neutrino mass ordering under new physics scenarios, finding that while Scalar Non-Standard Interactions have negligible impact, couplings to ultralight scalar fields can lead to incorrect inferences, though these effects can ultimately be disentangled to also serve as a probe for new physics.
This paper investigates a model where an ultralight scalar dark matter field couples off-diagonally to down-type quarks, deriving analytic expressions for the resulting oscillatory shifts in quark masses and CKM parameters, and establishing constraints on these flavor-violating couplings by combining precision flavor measurements, nuclear decays, atomic clocks, pulsar timing, and meson observables.
This paper investigates one-loop induced lepton flavor violating tau decays () mediated by and scalar leptoquarks, demonstrating that within parameter spaces consistent with current experimental constraints, the predicted branching ratios could reach the sensitivity of near-future experiments.
