A series of conjectures have been recently proposed to distinguish effective field theories that can be consistently coupled to quantum gravity from those which cannot. The latter do not arise as low energy limits of string
compactifications and are said to live in the Swampland. In this talk, I will review the formulation and status of some of the Swampland conjectures, in particular the...

The XENON project aims at directly detecting dark matter particles through their interaction in a liquid xenon target. The XENON1T detector, a dual phase Time Projection Chamber with 2 t active mass, has operated at Gran Sasso National Laboratory (Italy) from 2016 to 2018. It collected 1 tonne-year exposure with the lowest electronic recoil background ever achieved by a dark matter detector....

The Muon g-2 Experiment (E989) at Fermilab has been designed to measure the muon anomalous magnetic moment with a precision of 140 part-per-billion (ppb), reducing by four times today's 540 ppb uncertainty, which is dominated by the BNL E821 collaboration final result. Data-taking has begun in February 2018 and the collaboration aims at producing a preliminary result in 2019, based on a...

We consider the poorly studied before non-diffusive energy transport solutions to the solar abundance problem. We find the luminous flux change inside the Sun required to reconcile the Standard solar model with helioseismology. An example of a WISP extension of the Standard model is suggested which can alleviate the discrepancies.
