    The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is a next-generation long-baseline experiment designed to resolve key questions in neutrino physics, including the neutrino mass ordering, by studying neutrinos produced by an accelerator beam and from natural sources (atmospheric, supernovas and solar). The sensitivity to the neutrino mass ordering from atmospheric neutrinos at DUNE can be...

    We discuss how non-adiabatic mixing in quantum mechanics can be conveniently described within a density matrix formalism. We derive a general formula for the transition probability that generalises well known Landau-Zener formula and can be applied to different problems. In particular, we consider active-sterile neutrino mixing in the early universe and reproduce numerical results existing in...

    We constrain charged-current scalar non-standard interaction with reactor antineutrinos within a quantum field theory framework of neutrino oscillations. We derive an analytical expression up to $\mathcal{O}(\varepsilon^{4})$ for the electron antineutrino survival probability including scalar NSI contributions, and show that these effects induce spectral distortions that admit a large mixing...

    Neutrino flavour conversion, usually described by vacuum oscillations and neutrino-matter forward scattering, is a a well-established phenomenon that has been observed experimentally. However, in very dense environments such as supernovae, neutrino-neutrino interactions are not negligible and the dominant flavour conversion process is coherent forward scattering. Understanding collective...

    We investigate scenarios in which all or part of the neutrino masses arise from a coupling to an ultra-light scalar dark matter field. The oscillating dark matter background induces time-dependent neutrino masses, leading to observable modifications of neutrino oscillation probabilities. Depending on the dark matter mass, different oscillation averaging regimes arise, which we study in a...

In this case, supernova neutrinos could...

    In order to develop a consistent quantum theory of gravity, we must understand whether spacetime exhibits fluctuations at the Planck scale. If these Planck-scale fluctuations exist, they may cause propagating particles to evolve in an apparently non-unitary manner. Neutrinos, which interact only via the weak force and gravity, maintain quantum coherence while propagating over large distances....

    We show that heavy axion domain walls induce domain walls of the QCD axion through a mixing between the heavy axion and the QCD axion, even when the pre-inflationary initial condition is assumed for the QCD axion. The induced domain walls arise because the effective θ parameter changes across the heavy axion domain walls, shifting the potential minimum of the QCD axion. When the heavy axion...

    The established $d=5$ ALP effective Lagrangian describes scalars with approximate shift-symmetry, which carry no Standard Model charges. It implicitly assumes that ALPs are not charged under any symmetries of the dark sector. In this talk, we remove this assumption. In this case, no $d=5$ ALP effective interaction with SM particles is possible. We build the effective Lagrangian for these...

    A promising dark matter candidate, which arises from a proposed solution to the strong CP problem is the pseudo scalar axion. If the PQ symmetry is broken after inflation, a network of cosmic strings forms and emits axions until the QCD phase transition, where a hybrid string-wall system forms and collapses. Characterizing both the evolution of the network and the emission of axions by the...

    The majoron is the Nambu-Goldstone boson associated with the spontaneous breaking of a global $B-L$ symmetry.

In this work, we identify the cosmologically viable region in which majoron dark...

    String theory compactifications come with numerous U(1) factors, implying the presence of many hidden photons in the low-energy EFT. One may call this the string photoverse.

    The apparent fine-tunings of the Standard Model Higgs potential may be a consequence of its near-criticality.

    I will present unique features in the growth of structure in wave dark matter models with warm white noise, where the power spectrum is peaked at sub-horizon wavenumbers. The post-inflationary production of bosonic particles, such as axions or axion-like particles, leads to an enhanced isocurvature density power spectrum on small scales. Moreover, when dark matter is extremely light, these...

    I will present $\texttt{BARYONET}$, an open-source framework for computing the baryon asymmetry of the Universe within electroweak baryogenesis (EWBG). Starting from the semiclassical WKB approach—where spatially varying complex masses across expanding bubble walls generate CP-violating forces—we derive and solve the transport equations governing chemical potentials and velocity perturbations,...

    We investigate minimal dark matter models based on a confining ($\mathrm{SU}(N)$) dark sector, motivated by the central role of non-Abelian gauge forces in the Standard Model. After arguing that dark gluons alone cannot provide viable self-interacting dark matter capable of addressing small-scale structure tensions, we consider theories with dark quarks. Although light dark quarks can generate...

    We propose two medium-baseline, kiloton-scale neutrino experiments to study neutrinos from LHC proton-proton collisions: SINE, a surface-based scintillator panel detector observing muon neutrinos from the CMS interaction point, and UNDINE, a water Cherenkov detector submerged in Lake Geneva (or Lac Léman) observing all-flavor neutrinos from LHCb. Using a Monte Carlo simulation, we estimate...

    Ultralight dark matter may couple quadratically to Standard Model particles. Such quadratic interactions give rise to both coherent and stochastic signals in pulsar timing array (PTA) observations. In this work, we characterize these signals, including the effects of dark matter propagation in a finite-density medium, and assess the sensitivity of current and upcoming PTA observations to their...

    DUNE is a next-generation neutrino physics experiment that is currently under construction in the United States. The experiment will feature a high-intensity neutrino beam and a Near and Far Detector complexes located at a distance of 574 m and 1300 km from the neutrino source, respectively. While the primary goal of DUNE will be the discovery of CP violation in the lepton sector and the...
