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 offers a pedagogical introduction to the Silver Blaze problem in QCD, which addresses the paradox of why physical observables remain unchanged below a critical chemical potential despite the chemical potential altering the Dirac operator's eigenvalues, by analyzing the behavior of functional integrals and the role of phase cancellations in gauge configurations.
This paper utilizes Bayesian thermal analysis of hadron yields from STAR Ru+Ru and Zr+Zr isobar collisions to precisely extract chemical potential differentials in the QCD phase diagram, thereby validating these collisions as a high-precision probe for four-dimensional QCD thermodynamics against lattice-QCD and Chiral Mean Field model predictions.
This paper presents the expected precision for measuring the Higgs boson production cross-section times branching ratio in the fully leptonic decay mode at the FCC-ee, predicting relative uncertainties of 2.9% at 240 GeV and 6.8% at 365 GeV for the specified luminosity scenarios.
This paper develops a systematic Regge-theory framework for high-energy gravitational scattering of massive particles with multiple graviton emissions, unifying quantum and classical descriptions through exponential S-matrix and shock-wave formalisms to compute specific amplitudes and waveforms for ultra-relativistic Kerr black holes.
This paper outlines the LUXE experiment's use of high-intensity laser and electron beam collisions to probe non-perturbative strong-field QED phenomena like vacuum pair production, while also exploring how future colliders and beam-dump experiments can extend these studies to higher energy scales and search for new physics.
This paper employs a neural-network-based solution to nonlinear integral equations derived from unitarity and crossing symmetry to construct a solvable family of nonperturbative 4D scattering amplitudes that exhibit rich features like particle production and Regge behavior, while demonstrating that multi-particle data can be dynamically tuned to suppress low-spin production through a phenomenon termed "Aks screening."
This paper proposes that a crossover QCD phase transition in the early Universe led to the formation of stable strangeon nuggets, whose surviving mass density could account for cold dark matter without requiring exotic particles beyond the Standard Model.
This paper investigates the frame dependence of QCD bound states quantized in the temporal gauge under a constant gluon field, deriving their wave functions and demonstrating the Lorentz covariance of electromagnetic form factors for states of any spin.
This paper evaluates the discovery potential of a minimal secluded dark matter model with a kinetically mixed dark photon, demonstrating that while the secluded freeze-out regime is excluded by current constraints, future direct detection and intensity frontier experiments offer complementary sensitivity to the remaining freeze-in and out-of-equilibrium freeze-out parameter spaces.
This paper resolves the ambiguity in mixing between nonlocal gluon and quark bilinear operators by demonstrating that dimensional regularization provides a consistent prescription for handling singularities at zero separation, ensuring agreement between coordinate and momentum space results and compatibility with lattice QCD extractions.
