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 presents an automated framework, implemented as an extension of the DRalgo Mathematica package, for matching generic dimension-five and -six operators in three-dimensional effective field theories derived from arbitrary models containing scalars, fermions, and gauge fields at finite temperature.
This paper demonstrates that a direct inflaton-gluon coupling which dynamically raises the QCD confinement scale during inflation can suppress axion isocurvature perturbations and generate dark matter, but this mechanism analytically requires plateau-like inflationary potentials () to maintain perturbative control while simultaneously shifting the scalar spectral index to bluer values.
This paper develops a formalism for coupling matter to continuous spin gravity and calculates time-delay signatures in gravitational wave detectors, suggesting that current and future instruments could constrain the continuous spin scale to be below eV for ground-based interferometers and eV for pulsar timing arrays.
This paper pioneers the application of light-front holographic QCD in the Veneziano limit to compute flavor-dependent entanglement entropy using a lattice-constrained dilaton potential, thereby revealing flavor-driven quantum correlations in confined and quark-gluon plasma phases that align with lattice QCD data and heavy-ion collision observables.
This paper systematically investigates the historical origins of quantum entanglement in particle physics, highlighting key milestones such as the 1949 Wu-Shaknov experiment, the 1957 theoretical work by Lee, Oehme, and Yang on neutral kaons, and the 1958 Goldhaber-Lee-Yang formulation of entangled kaon pairs, which collectively established entanglement in both photon and high-energy particle systems prior to Bell's inequality.
This paper presents a validated semi-analytic waveform model for black hole binaries in scalar environments, which is applied to LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA data to set upper limits on scalar densities and identify tentative evidence for a light scalar field around the GW190728 event.
This paper proposes that the ultra-high-energy neutrino events KM3-230213A and IceCube detections can be explained by the decay of superheavy dark matter particles produced via primordial black hole evaporation, a scenario shown to be consistent with relic abundance constraints and existing cosmological bounds.
This paper proposes a tabletop experimental protocol using gravitational acceleration-induced electric fields in normal conductors to imprint a detectable gauge-invariant phase on superconducting coherent states, offering a potential route to verify the long-elusive phenomenon of electromagnetic memory.
By integrating new ReD calibration data with existing DarkSide-50, ARIS, and SCENE results to refine the liquid argon ionization response model for nuclear recoils, this study establishes new world-leading exclusion limits on low-mass WIMPs in the 1–3 GeV/c² range and demonstrates significantly enhanced discovery potential for the upcoming DarkSide-20k detector.
Using QCD sum rules with condensates up to dimension eight, this study predicts the existence of four hidden-charm and four hidden-bottom tetraquark states with , providing their mass spectra and potential decay modes to guide future experimental searches at facilities like BESIII, Belle II, LHCb, and STCF.
