Abstract

In this project, we propose ourselves to further develop the capabilities of existing instruments (like the neutrino detector IceCube in Antarctica) or future detectors (as those to be installed in large underground cavities) to probe exotic phenomena involving light degrees of freedom not accounted for in the standard model but whose existence might be hinted to by some of the previously mentioned anomalies.
