The decay K+→π+νν, with a very precisely predicted branching ratio of less than 10^{-10}, is one of the best candidates to reveal indirect effects of new physics at the highest mass scales. The NA62 experiment at CERN SPS is designed to measure the branching ratio of the K+→π+νν with a decay-in-flight technique, novel for this channel. NA62 took data in 2016, 2017 and another year run is...

I will discuss how to extend existing axion haloscope designs into specialised modes that are sensitive to the directionality of the axion signal. This is particularly advantageous if one wants to probe the structure our local velocity distribution of dark matter. A directional experiment can grant us a three-dimensional view of this distribution and allow the discovery of the network of tidal...

I present a re-evaluation of the emissivity of axions from core-collapse supernvae based on state-of-the art simulations. I also discuss the perspective of detection of an axion signal in large underground neutrino detectors.

The evolution of white dwarfs is a simple gravothermal process of
cooling. Since the shape of their luminosity function is sensitive
to the characteristic cooling time, it is possible to use its slope
to test the existence of additional unexpected sources or sinks of energy.
The aim of this paper is to study if the changes in the slope of the white dwarf
luminosity...
