Estimating the local dark matter density in a non-axisymmetric wobbling disc

S. Sivertsson, J. I. Read, H. Silverwood +6

The density of dark matter near the Sun is important for experiments hunting for dark matter particles in the laboratory, and for constraining the local shape of the Milky Way's da…

PArthENoPE Revolutions

S. Gariazzo, P. F. de Salas, O. Pisanti +1

This paper presents the main features of a new and updated version of the program PArthENoPE, which the community has been using for many years for computing the abundances of ligh…

Weighing the Galactic disk in sub-regions of the solar neighbourhood using Gaia DR2

Axel Widmark, Pablo Fernández de Salas, Giacomo Monari

We infer the gravitational potential of the Galactic disk by analysing the phase-space densities of 120 stellar samples in 40 spatially separate sub-regions of the solar neighbourh…

Relic neutrino clustering in the Milky Way

Pablo F. de Salas

The Standard Cosmological Model predicts the existence of relic neutrinos, which are indirectly probed through the effective number of relativistic species in the early Universe. I…

On the estimation of the Local Dark Matter Density using the rotation curve of the Milky Way

P. F. de Salas, K. Malhan, K. Freese +2

The rotation curve of the Milky Way is commonly used to estimate the local dark matter density . However, the estimates are subject to the choice of the distrib…

Thermalisation of sterile neutrinos in the early Universe in the 3+1 scheme with full mixing matrix

S. Gariazzo, P. F. de Salas, S. Pastor

In the framework of a 3+1 scheme with an additional inert state, we consider the thermalisation of sterile neutrinos in the early Universe taking into account the full m…

Neutrino physics with the PTOLEMY project: active neutrino properties and the light sterile case

PTOLEMY collaboration, M. G. Betti, M. Biasotti +54

The PTOLEMY project aims to develop a scalable design for a Cosmic Neutrino Background (CNB) detector, the first of its kind and the only one conceived that can look directly at th…

A Design for an Electromagnetic Filter for Precision Energy Measurements at the Tritium Endpoint

M. G. Betti, M. Biasotti, A. Bosca +48

We present a detailed description of the electromagnetic filter for the PTOLEMY project to directly detect the Cosmic Neutrino Background (CNB). Starting with an initial estimate f…

Constraining the invisible neutrino decay with KM3NeT-ORCA

P. F. de Salas, S. Pastor, C. A. Ternes +2

Several theories of particle physics beyond the Standard Model consider that neutrinos can decay. In this work we assume that the standard mechanism of neutrino oscillations is alt…

PTOLEMY: A Proposal for Thermal Relic Detection of Massive Neutrinos and Directional Detection of MeV Dark Matter

E. Baracchini, M. G. Betti, M. Biasotti +48

We propose to achieve the proof-of-principle of the PTOLEMY project to directly detect the Cosmic Neutrino Background (CNB). Each of the technological challenges described in [1,2]…

Neutrino masses and their ordering: Global Data, Priors and Models

S. Gariazzo, M. Archidiacono, P. F. de Salas +3

We present a Bayesian analysis of the combination of current neutrino oscillation, neutrinoless double beta decay and CMB observations. Our major goal is to carefully investigate t…

Calculation of the local density of relic neutrinos

P. F. de Salas, S. Gariazzo, J. Lesgourgues +1

Nonzero neutrino masses are required by the existence of flavour oscillations, with values of the order of at least 50 meV. We consider the gravitational clustering of relic neutri…
