Abstract: Current and future galaxy surveys have the potential to transform our understanding of both galaxy formation and cosmology. The distribution of galaxies and matter on small, non-linear scales (~Mpc) holds the most statistical constraining power but is also the …

Abstract: The measurement of the Yukawa coupling of the top quark and the Higgs boson, namely the two most massive fundamental particles observed so far, is a crucial piece for understanding the mechanism of fermion mass generation. The most promising …

Abstract:  Galaxy surveys and the study of the Large Scale Structure (LSS) have played an important role in establishing the standard cosmological model, LCDM, and will push the envelope of observational cosmology the next decades, thanks to experiments such as …

Abstract:   In spite of a wide range of observational evidence, the mystery of dark matter is still present and dark matter remains to be directly detected. One of the most popular Dark Matter candidates is the Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP). In …

ABSTRACT: After the discovery of the Higgs boson, the future of high energy physics became a central question. There have been several proposals of future colliders which would continue the exploration of the high energy frontier beyond the reach of …

ABSTRACT: A precise prediction of the neutrino flux is a key ingredient for achieving the physics goals of accelerator-based neutrino experiments. In modern experiments, neutrino beams are created from the decays of secondary hadrons produced in hadron-nucleus interactions. Hadron production …

ABSTRACT: Measurements of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropies and, more recently, of the distribution of galaxies at late times led us to the definition of a concordance cosmological model, the so called LCDM model. Despite its phenomenological success, several …

ABSTRACT: Searches for high energy signatures from beyond the standard model physics have advanced greatly, but a lot of ground remains to be covered for soft, low energy signals. In the context of dark matter direct detection, future single-phonon detectors …
