The precise determination of parton distribution functions (PDFs) is essential for accurate predictions of observables at hadron colliders. In this seminar, we will explore two complementary aspects of the future of PDF studies. The first concerns the potential of upcoming … Read More

The most recent searches by the LHC collaborations in final states with soft leptons and missing transverse energy show mild excesses which can result from decays of electroweakinos featuring a compressed spectrum. We demonstrate that while recent searches in the … Read More

We develop a first-principles formalism, based on the transport equation in the line-of-sight approximation, to link the expected number of muons at neutrino telescopes to the flux of neutrinos at the Earth's surface. We compute the distribution of muons inside … Read More

The possibility of primordial black holes (PBHs) forming in the early Universe from the collapse of cosmological perturbations has received lots of attention in the last ten years after the first detection of gravitational waves. PBHs span a very wade … Read More

We present initial results on nuclear recoil detection based on the fluorescence of color centers created by nuclear recoils in lithium fluoride. We use gamma rays, fast and thermal neutrons, and study the difference in responses they induce, showing that … Read More
