Our research project is linked to the effort towards elucidating the dark matter composition. We propose to tackle this problem both from an experimental as well as from a phenomenological point of view, giving continuity to our past research contributions. Our group has an active role in the DarkSide collaboration, which aims at direct detecting dark matter. On the phenomenological front…
Our group has been working for more than 25 years in the field of Theoretical Elementary Particle Physics. In particular, we have analyzed several aspects of the electroweak and strong interactions within the framework of the Standard Model (SM), as well as the phenomenological consequences of its possible extensions. Moreover, we also work on neutrino physics and building theories beyond…
New spin-1 states may be a good Dark Matter candidate, with many production mechanisms put forward in the literature to populate the correct relic abundance. The large majority of such mechanisms are of non-thermal nature, making the prediction somewhat dependent on the initial conditions of the universe. One such condition is the possible existence of primordial black holes which, throug…
The lack of any New Physics signal so far is a great puzzle for particle physics, especially considering the well known Hierarchy Problem of the Standard Model. We propose here to study in detail frameworks in which the lack of signals is possible in the context of natural theories (but not only). In addition to the necessary model building activity, we propose various phenomenological st…
Neutrinos play a major role in modern Particle Physics and open the possibility of studying beyond the standard model physics through neutrino precision measurements, while dark matter is still one of the missing pieces of the standard model of Particle Physics. This PhD project proposes to explore the connection between neutrinos and dark matter, which can have profound consequences in t…
The goal of this project is to prepare the candidate to do research in particle physics. To this end, we will complement his knowledge from his undergraduate studies by studying topics related to the field. Moreover, the candidate will also study two Higgs, doublet models.(AU)
The aim of the project is to study several topics related to Quantum Field Theory (QFT). We will begin with the Second Quantization in nonrelativistic Quantum Mechanics (QM) formalism, followed by scattering theory and applications in Statistical Mechanics. Next, we will see the relativistic QM formalism and the necessity of field theory for its construction, continuing with the study of …
In this work, we will study the phenomenology of the dipole coupling between Dark Matter and Dark Photon to verify if the particles are still in thermal contact with the Standard Model. We propose an analysis of the models that are capable of generating this type of interaction and calculations of the Dark Matter mass limits, especially for direct detection with electrons, CMB, BBN, meson…

We propose to study how Nambu-Goldstone bosons interact with matter using modern on-shell methods, i.e. bypassing completely Lagrangians or quantum fields. This open problem has important repercussions on UV models containing a composite Higgs, axion-like particles, pseudoscalar mesons and neutrino propagation in a dark matter background, and can lead to a better understanding of the deep…
The nature of Dark Matter is one of the greatest mysteries in all science. Despite huge progress in the last twenty years, many questions remain unanswered. In this project we propose to study in detail open problems related to the terrestrial detection of Dark Matter, as well as new theoretical directions that may lead to a better understanding of the Dark Matter puzzle. (AU)
Electroweak precision measurements were instrumental to obtain indirect information on possible new physics, and even to infer the top and (to a lesser extent) the Higgs mass before their discovery. In this project, we propose to study how to include new physics effects in the Standard Model observables at electroweak and low-energy scales. (AU)
