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.

IceCube's recent detection of high-energy neutrinos from the Milky Way enables new, improved constraints on dark matter annihilation into neutrinos, demonstrating that future Galactic neutrino observations could decisively test the thermal freeze-out mechanism.
This paper reviews the theoretical sensitivity of paleo-detectors—mineral samples that record dark matter-induced nuclear recoils over geological timescales—to various WIMP-nucleus interactions within a Non-Relativistic Effective Field Theory framework, demonstrating that they can surpass or match the reach of conventional direct-detection experiments across a wide range of dark matter masses and interaction operators.
This paper demonstrates that flying-focus laser pulses, which feature a focal point moving at the speed of light to extend interaction time, significantly enhance the yield of nonlinear Breit-Wheeler electron-positron pair production compared to conventional stationary-focus pulses, with improvements reaching up to 76% for high-energy gamma photons.
This paper presents a general atomic structure approach incorporating many-body corrections via the time-dependent Hartree-Fock method to constrain new electron-electron forces, establishing bounds on scalar-pseudoscalar and vector-axial vector couplings that rule out specific parameter regions and provide an updated Standard Model calculation for cesium parity non-conserving transitions.
This paper investigates the electromagnetic screening properties of fermionic domain-wall Skyrmions within the chiral soliton lattice of two-flavor QCD under a strong magnetic field, utilizing moduli effective theory and finite-temperature chiral perturbation theory to characterize baryon density saturation and predict static screening via a combined Debye mass.
This paper investigates a -symmetric dark sector model featuring a right-handed neutrino, a dark fermion, and a complex scalar that collectively explain the observed dark matter relic density via annihilation, semi-annihilation, and conversion processes while simultaneously enabling a strong first-order electroweak phase transition with detectable multi-messenger signatures, including gravitational waves within the sensitivity range of future space-based detectors like LISA, BBO, and DECIGO.
This paper proposes a new mechanism called chemical-potential-matched dark matter (DM), where the dark matter mass is comparable to the baryon chemical potential, offering a novel explanation for the baryon-dark matter coincidence that typically predicts dark matter in the eV–keV mass range, or up to the MeV scale if entropy dilution occurs.
This study demonstrates that energy-dependent slow collective flavor conversion in supernova neutrinos, driven by spatially inhomogeneous instabilities, significantly enhances heating rates and increases the electron fraction by converting heavy-lepton neutrinos to electron neutrinos, thereby potentially driving supernova materials to be more proton-rich.
This paper presents a comprehensive NLO+PS study of Higgs-boson production with charm and bottom quarks, comparing massive and massless flavour schemes to quantify uncertainties and provide the first practical simulation recommendations for production at the LHC.
This paper introduces a training strategy that leverages the nested structure of phase spaces to efficiently adapt high-dimensional samplers for multijet processes by augmenting existing -particle datasets to initialize -particle sampling, thereby significantly reducing computational costs while improving performance over current benchmarks.
