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 honors Henry Primakoff by reviewing his legacy and recent experimental tests of Chiral Perturbation Theory via Primakoff reactions at CERN and Jefferson Laboratory, which confirm two-flavor predictions while highlighting the need for future measurements with kaons and eta mesons to validate three-flavor theories involving strange quarks.
This paper investigates the scattering of non-relativistic finite-size particles using the partial wave method to demonstrate how particle size significantly alters interaction potentials and cross sections, revealing non-perturbative effects in puffy dark matter direct detection that depend on the size-to-range ratio and offering stability-based constraints for nugget-type dark matter.
This paper investigates the feasibility of observing the muon trident process, including the first potential detection of electromagnetic pair production and QED bound states, at the LHC's far-forward FASER and FASER2 detectors through -tungsten collisions.
This paper constrains the process with in the low-mass region by recasting Standard Model measurements, establishing cross-section limits between 0.12 and 0.62 pb while identifying a notable preference for a new physics signal around GeV and GeV that can be accommodated within a top-philic two-Higgs-doublet model.
This paper proposes a string-derived supergravity model combining the Standard Model with gauged and modular symmetry, where anomaly cancellation conditions uniquely determine flavor structures and axion properties, predicting a specific axion mass and coupling while suppressing flavor-violating interactions and reproducing observed neutrino data.
This paper demonstrates that renormalization group running of the PMNS matrix, enhanced by light neutrinophilic new particles in low-scale neutrino mass models, can significantly increase the rate of high-energy "double bang" events at IceCube, making these signatures comparable to standard model predictions and offering a potential window into the origin of neutrino mass.
This paper demonstrates that future subpercent-level precision measurements of the Standard Model Higgs diphoton signal strength can indirectly probe and decisively constrain the parameter space of Type-II Seesaw models that currently evades direct LHC searches due to cascade decays.
Using the deep-learning algorithm DINGO-lensing to overcome computational limitations, this study reanalyzes the gravitational wave candidate GW231123 with over 200,000 simulations and concludes that it is not a lensed event due to its statistical significance falling below 4, while highlighting the critical impact of waveform systematics and the potential for future discoveries with improved detection statistics.
This paper investigates the two-body nonleptonic decays of into accompanied by pseudoscalar or vector mesons using the naive factorization approach, calculating decay amplitudes across various topologies to determine rates and branching ratios for comparison with other theoretical predictions and experimental data.
This paper demonstrates that the energy levels of QED bound states, such as muonic hydrogen, can be calculated using matrix elements of the energy-momentum tensor trace, showing analytically and diagrammatically how this method yields results consistent with standard one-loop Lamb shift calculations despite employing different diagrammatic sets.
