Per il ciclo "Colloqui di dipartimento", il giorno 1 Aprile alle ore 16 presso l'aula 412 Massimiliano Lattanzi (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare) terra' un seminario dal titolo

The great lab in the sky: cosmology meets particle physics

Abstract

In recent decades, precision cosmological observations have emerged as a powerful tool for constraining particle physics models and addressing key unresolved issues in modern physics.
In this talk, I will explore examples of this fruitful interplay between cosmology and particle physics.
Observations of the cosmic microwave background anisotropies and the large-scale galaxy distribution place stringent limits on the mass and density of neutrinos. Additionally, more unconventional scenarios, such as non-standard neutrino interactions or the potential existence of axion-like particles, can be investigated through cosmological measurements.
I will outline the current constraints and discuss future prospects.
