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 investigates semileptonic sum rules in heavy-to-light charm decays to establish a precise consistency check for lepton-flavor universality ratios, enabling predictions for unmeasured observables like in transitions.
This paper establishes a correspondence between Rényi mutual information and stabilizer Rényi entropy in electroweak scattering, attributing their shared dependence on the weak mixing angle to Yukawa mass insertions acting as quantum gates that minimize entropy to values consistent with purely axial vector-like couplings.
This paper presents and validates a MAcNLOPS implementation for production in MadGraph5_aMC@NLO + Pythia8 that eliminates negative H weights through a veto on the first shower emission, offering a promising alternative to MC@NLO with reduced negative weights and negligible computational overhead.
This paper employs bootstrap techniques to demonstrate that both contact-term renormalization and the exact N/D method yield statistically consistent two-nucleon effective field theories, with the NLO potential significantly extending the valid energy range compared to LO when applied to the partial wave.
This paper proposes a minimal mechanism where coupling dark photons with standard photons generates primordial magnetic fields of approximately G, effectively overcoming the strong-coupling and backreaction problems that plague conventional nonminimal inflaton-electromagnetic field models.
This paper proposes that bosonic dark matter captured by neutron stars can form a Bose-Einstein condensate, leading to a massive enhancement in annihilation rates that heats the stars to observable temperatures via the James Webb Space Telescope and allows for the probing of dark matter interactions within the neutrino fog regime.
This study demonstrates that within a dynamical dark energy (CPL) framework, modified gravity effects capable of suppressing low-redshift structure growth while satisfying CMB constraints must operate on comoving scales smaller than approximately 10 Mpc, a scenario that is moderately preferred over standard CDM and further strengthens the case for quintom-like dark energy when combined with current cosmological datasets.
This paper demonstrates that Large Hadron Collider limits can be efficiently incorporated into online global fits of the phenomenological Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model by using symbolic regression to derive fast, accurate mathematical approximations of ATLAS exclusion constraints.
This paper investigates the production of fully charmed tetraquarks in ultraperipheral heavy-ion collisions by calculating their two-photon decay widths and comparing resonant contributions to continuum backgrounds, revealing that while resonant effects dominate the channel, they are subdominant in the diphoton channel, contradicting predictions from a naive vector dominance model.
This study utilizes stellar kinematic data from eight Milky Way dwarf spheroidal galaxies to constrain degenerate fermionic dark matter models, finding that fermion masses between 100 and 300 eV are favored and that current observations do not significantly distinguish between interacting and non-interacting equations of state.
