4. Neutrinos from Dark Matter: the IceCube low-energy excess

The recent study on the the 6-year up-going muon neutrinos by the IceCube Collaboration and the multi-messenger analyses support the hypothesis of a two-component scenario explaining the diffuse TeV-PeV neutrino flux. In particular, a low-energy excess in the IceCube data is shown in the energy range 10-100 TeV. A statistical analysis on the neutrino energy spectrum and on the angular...

10. Starobinsky-like inflation and SUSY at the LHC

We discuess a recent simple modification of the no-scale supergravity Wess-Zumino model of Starobinsky-like inflation to include a Polonyi term in the superpotential. The purpose of this term is to provide an explicit mechanism for supersymmetry breaking at the end of inflation. We show how successful inflation can be achieved for a gravitino mass satisfying the strict upper bound...
