Impact of memory-burdened primordial black holes on high-scale leptogenesis

Roberta Calabrese, Marco Chianese, Ninetta Saviano

We explore the impact of the back-reaction of evaporation on the quantum state of Primordial Black Holes (PBHs), known as ``memory burden", on the baryon asymmetry production in th…

Probing flavored regimes of leptogenesis with gravitational waves from cosmic strings

Marco Chianese, Satyabrata Datta, Gennaro Miele +2

Cosmic strings radiate detectable gravitational waves in models featuring high-scale symmetry breaking, e.g., high-scale leptogenesis. In this Letter, for the first time, we show t…

Tomography of flavoured leptogenesis with primordial blue gravitational waves

Marco Chianese, Satyabrata Datta, Rome Samanta +1

We explore a scenario where an early epoch of matter domination is driven by the mass scale of the right-handed neutrinos, which also characterizes the different flavour regi…

Limits on light primordial black holes from high-scale leptogenesis

Roberta Calabrese, Marco Chianese, Jacob Gunn +3

We investigate the role that the evaporation of light primordial black holes may have played in the production of the baryon asymmetry of the Universe through the high-scale leptog…

Earth tomography with supernova neutrinos at future neutrino detectors

Rasmi Hajjar, Olga Mena, Sergio Palomares-Ruiz

Earth neutrino tomography is a realistic possibility with current and future neutrino detectors, complementary to geophysics methods. The two main approaches are based on either pa…

An accurate evaluation of electron (anti-)neutrino scattering on nucleons

Giulia Ricciardi, Natascia Vignaroli, Francesco Vissani

We discuss as accurately as possible the cross section of quasi-elastic scattering of electron (anti-)neutrinos on nucleons, also known as inverse beta decay in the case of antineu…

Constraining axion-like particles with the diffuse gamma-ray flux measured by the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory

Leonardo Mastrototaro, Pierluca Carenza, Marco Chianese +4

The detection of very high-energy neutrinos by IceCube experiment supports the existence of a comparable gamma-ray counterpart from the same cosmic accelerators. Under the likely a…
