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 establishes a comprehensive Spin Density Matrix framework for analyzing polarization transfer in the decay chain , demonstrating that the state perfectly preserves the initial polarization in the dominant -wave limit while providing a unified method to quantify -wave deviations and extend these insights to other hadronic and electroweak processes.
This paper investigates the energy loss of high-energy partons in anisotropic plasmas within the harmonic approximation, deriving a simple formula for the impact of anisotropy and demonstrating that the resulting medium length dependence exhibits universal limiting attractor characteristics consistent with QCD kinetic theory simulations.
This paper calculates the next-to-eikonal cross section for back-to-back dijet production in deep inelastic scattering at small , demonstrating how these corrections relate to the -dependent phase of twist-2 gluon TMDs and twist-3 unpolarized gluon TMDs.
Based on recent lattice evidence and 't Hooft anomaly constraints, this paper proposes that the chiral phase transition in hot QCD for massless flavors may be described by a conformal manifold of -dependent universality classes featuring an exactly marginal operator related to baryon density, rather than a standard Ginzburg-Landau critical point.
This study combines 14 years of Fermi-LAT and 10 years of H.E.S.S. observations of the galactic center to establish stringent constraints on dark matter annihilation into gamma-ray lines, demonstrating that Fermi-LAT provides the tightest limits for masses below 300 GeV while H.E.S.S. dominates for masses above 1 TeV, collectively probing energy scales up to 10–20 TeV.
This paper generalizes soft and collinear factorization in perturbative QCD to multi-collinear configurations, demonstrating how generalized splitting amplitudes encode the breaking of strict collinear factorization in space-like limits and the failure of naive multiplicative factorization in simultaneous soft-collinear regimes.
By analyzing 2693 rotation-curve measurements from 153 SPARC galaxies within a unified radial framework defined by baryonic acceleration, the study reveals a galaxy-independent dark-matter halo structure characterized by a universal density profile (), a linear mass growth with radius, and a constant rotation velocity beyond a specific scaled distance.
This paper introduces an iterative, algorithmic framework that utilizes Dyck paths and Stieltjes-Rogers polynomials to systematically generate all self-energy Feynman diagrams for the single-polaron problem with arbitrary linear coupling, thereby enabling efficient, unbiased diagrammatic Monte Carlo simulations by eliminating stochastic weighting across topologies.
This paper investigates charged lepton flavor violating interactions with a pair of light dark matter particles within an effective field theory framework, deriving kinematic distributions to distinguish operator structures and dark matter masses, establishing stringent limits from current experimental data, and demonstrating that future observations of muonium invisible decays could serve as a compelling signature for these flavored dark matter interactions.
This paper demonstrates that imposing the CP-violation constraint, specifically the Jarlskog invariant, on a nearly democratic quark mass matrix ansatz reduces the number of free parameters from six to five, thereby establishing an explicit interdependence among the six up- and down-quark mass eigenvalues.
