The DArk Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE) is a high-performance space particle detector launched in orbit in 2015 by a collaboration of Chinese, Italian and Swiss scientific institutions, coordinated by the Chinese Academy of Sciences. It consists of a high-resolution segmented BGO electromagnetic calorimeter with a depth of 32 radiation lengths, a silicon-tungsten tracker-converter with an...
A convincing observation of neutrino-less double beta decay (0νDBD) relies on the possibility of operating high-energy resolution detectors in background-free conditions.
Scintillating cryogenic calorimeters are one of the most promising tools to fulfill the requirements for a next-generation experiment. Several steps have been taken to demonstrate the maturity of this technique, starting...
The theory termed 'special relativity (SR) with a preferred frame' \cite{burde1, burde2} incorporates the preferred frame into special relativity while retaining the fundamental space-time symmetry which, in the standard SR, manifests itself as Lorentz invariance. In this paper, the theory is extended to particle dynamics and general relativity based on the concept of the 'modified spacetime...
Dark Matter (DM) is one of the most puzzling mysteries of modern physics. Albeit various astronomical observations confirm its existence, no unambiguous theory of DM exists. CRESST-III is one of the leading experiments searching for a hypothetical DM particle candidate.
The CRESST-III experiment searches for direct interactions of dark matter with ordinary matter at the Laboratori Nazionali...
The MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR is a neutrinoless double-beta decay experiment currently operating two modules of p-type point contact germanium detectors at the 4850' level of the Sanford Underground Research Facility. Our latest results from 26 kg-yr of exposure set a half-life lower limit of 2.7 x $10^{25}$ yr (90% C.L) owing to an unprecedented energy resolution of 2.5 keV FWHM and a background...
Measurements of the low masses for the pulsar PSR J0737-3039B, for the
companion of PSR J1756-2251 and for the companion of PSR J0453+1559 on the one
hand and of the high masses for the pulsars PSR J1614-2230 and PSR J0348-0432 on
the other demonstrate the existence of compact stars with masses in a broad range
from 1.2 to 2 Msun . We show that for realistic stellar matter EoS it is...
We perform a Bayesian analysis for selecting the most probable equation of state under a set of constraints from compact star physics, which now include the tidal deformability from GW170817. It was considered a two-parameter family of hybrid equations of state, which produces a third family of hybrid stars in the mass-radius diagram. We present the corresponding results for compact star...
We are entering an era of unprecedented capabilities for astronomical observations. The analysis of signals in multiple bands, i.e., gravitational waves, gamma and X-rays emissions, will provide detailed insight about the physics of diverse astrophysical phenomena such as neutron star mergers. Neutrinos emitted from compact objects and their mergers, besides playing an important role in the...
Over the last few decades the study of nuclei and neutron-rich matter from first principles has entered a new era. This has partly been driven by the development of novel interactions between two or three nucleons. In an attempt to produce a systematic expansion, several groups have produced Effective Field Theory (EFT) interactions, whether of finite range (chiral EFT) or zero range (pionless...
