El descubrimiento en 2012 del bosón de Higgs, en el “Gran Colisionador de Hadrones” (LHC) del CERN, tiene para la física una relevancia equiparable a la que tuvo el descubrimiento del ADN en biología o la evidencia de la estructura atómica y molecular en química. Desde el punto de vista tecnológico supone un hito comparable […]
Axions are hypothetical particles introduced to solve the strong CP problem of the Standard Model. In addition axions can resolve the dark matter mystery. In this talk I will first discuss the interesting axion mass ranges which current and future direct detection experiments are targeting. I will then focus on two different detection techniques for
Triggered by the IceCube detection of astrophysical neutrino candidates in the range of PeV energies, we propose to investigate the sensitivity of future South Pole neutrino-detection experiments to the neutrino-nucleon cross section. By using the combination of up- and down-going data of neutrinos, sensible to neutral current processes one can disentangle particle physics from astrophysics
