Vector dark matter with non-abelian kinetic mixing
Ana Luisa Foguel, Renata Zukanovich Funchal, Michele Frigerio
An appealing framework for dark matter is provided by light hidden sectors, below the electroweak scale, feebly coupled to the Standard Model via light mediators. We consider a min…
Impact of New Physics on the JUNO-Long-Baseline Synergy in Neutrino Mass Ordering Determination
Gustavo F. S. Alves, Hiroshi Nunokawa, Renata Zukanovich Funchal
The determination of the neutrino mass ordering is one of the flagship goals in particle physics. A well-known and powerful synergy emerges when combining high-precision measuremen…
Could a Primordial Black Hole Explosion Explain the extremely high-energy KM3NeT neutrino Event?
Lua F. T. Airoldi, Gustavo F. S. Alves, Yuber F. Perez-Gonzalez +2
A black hole is expected to end its lifetime in a cataclysmic runaway burst of Hawking radiation, emitting all Standard Model particles with ultra-high energies. Thus, the explosio…
Chasing Serendipity: Tackling Transient Sources with Neutrino Telescopes
Lua F. T. Airoldi, Gustavo F. S. Alves, Yuber F. Perez-Gonzalez +2
The discovery of ultra-high-energy neutrinos by IceCube marked the beginning of neutrino astronomy. Yet, the origin and production mechanisms of these neutrinos remain an open ques…
Cosmogenic neutrinos as probes of new physics
Luighi P. S. Leal, Daniel Naredo-Tuero, Renata Zukanovich Funchal
The scattering of extremely energetic cosmic rays with both cosmic microwave background and extragalactic background light, can produce neutrinos,…
Unlocking the Inelastic Dark Matter Window with Vector Mediators
Ana Luisa Foguel, Peter Reimitz, Renata Zukanovich Funchal
Despite the robust cosmological and astrophysical evidence confirming the existence of a non-baryonic matter component in the Universe, the underlying nature of Dark Matter (DM) re…
