I am giving an informal talk in my research group and was wondering what are the hottest research papers in phenomenology as of now.

Any help would be great.

Perhaps a little specificity might help here. Are you looking for model building papers, global analysis style papers, or technical innovations? Which area exactly? QCD pheno, Btsm pheno, dark matter pheno, inflation pheno? How far back are we allowed to consider?
 
What do you mean by global analysis style papers?

A paper that people are finding particularly interesting is this: https://arxiv.org/abs/1610.07962
It has only 4 citations according to inSPIRE. Why do you say that "people are finding it particularly interesting"?

I can confirm that the pheno people at my institute find it interesting. Citations aren't always the best measure...
