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 the potential to search for and constrain light millicharged particles by analyzing their pair production via nonlinear Compton scattering in laboratory laser experiments and via the Schwinger mechanism in magnetar environments, demonstrating that these two approaches offer complementary constraints.
This paper introduces CGC-py, a Monte Carlo event generator that integrates Color Glass Condensate physics with parton branching and hadronization to consistently model deep-inelastic scattering, validating its predictions against experimental data and demonstrating its utility for probing gluon saturation effects in future electron-ion collider measurements.
This paper proposes a practical partial-wave method based on the Lednický–Lyuboshitz framework, which incorporates experimental phase-shift data to extract resonance signals of unstable light nuclei from two-particle correlation functions in heavy-ion collisions, successfully demonstrating its application to the Li and Li systems using STAR experimental data.
This paper analyzes the geometry of viable Froggatt-Nielsen flavor textures by examining eighteen integer exponents in a toy landscape, finding that the resulting point clouds exhibit high effective dimensions (10–12) and lack strong linear compression, suggesting that raw exponents are not natural coordinates for revealing hidden flavor-theory geometry.
This study demonstrates that incorporating self-interacting bosonic dark matter into hybrid equations of state with first-order phase transitions to quark matter stabilizes mass-radius configurations, eliminates the instability gap between hadronic and hybrid branches to enable continuous twin star sequences, and gives rise to two distinct classes of ultra-compact objects that can be distinguished by their surface redshifts and dark matter content.
This paper demonstrates that the Future Circular Electron-Positron Collider (FCC-ee) will be able to precisely constrain Beyond-the-Standard-Model physics in the Two-Higgs-Doublet Model near the alignment limit through next-to-leading order analysis of Higgsstrahlung processes at 240 GeV, thereby revealing its broader potential to indirectly uncover new electroweak-scale physics.
This paper presents a lattice QCD calculation of the CP-violating pion-nucleon coupling induced by the QCD -term using 2+1+1-flavor HISQ ensembles, demonstrating that while direct extraction is noisy due to excited state contamination, applying the axial Ward identity and chiral perturbation theory yields a precise result of .
This paper presents the first QCD determination of an energy-dependent two-hadron form factor by combining lattice QCD calculations of finite-volume electromagnetic matrix elements with a finite-volume formalism to constrain the infinite-volume forward amplitude, thereby validating the approach for studying the electroweak structure of resonances and multi-hadron states.
This paper proposes a minimal electroweak dark matter model involving coupled Majorana and Dirac multiplets that explains the high-energy nuclear recoil events observed by the LUX-ZEPLIN collaboration through inelastic scattering with specific mass splittings, while simultaneously predicting correlated elastic spin-independent signals for various multiplet representations.
This paper challenges the interpretation of a single LZ event as evidence for a thermal 1.1 TeV higgsino dark matter candidate by demonstrating that such a model would predict unobserved high-energy recoil events, thereby creating tension with the null results in the experiment's high-energy sideband.
