New experimental approaches in the search for axion-like particles
Axions and other very light axion-like particles appear in many extensions of the Standard
Model, and are leading candidates to compose part or all of the missing matter of the …

Solar chameleons: Novel channels
We revisit the flux of chameleons (light scalar particles which could play a role in the dark
energy phenomenon) produced in the interior of the Sun. Our novel analysis incorporates …

Cosmological searches for the neutrino mass scale and mass ordering
S Vagnozzi - arxiv preprint arxiv:1907.08010, 2019 - arxiv.org
In this thesis, I describe a number of recent important developments in neutrino cosmology
on three fronts. Firstly, focusing on Large-Scale Structure (LSS) data, I will show that current …
