Neutralino dark matter, and in particular different aspects of its detection at neutrino telescopes, has been studied within the Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model, the MSSM. The relic density of neutralinos has been…
We consider the possibility of detecting relic anti-neutrinos by their resonant absorption in a nucleus, which can undergo electron capture. This possibility appears quite realistic in view of recent developments in Penning Trap Mass…
Neutrinos are one of the major puzzles in modern physics. Despite measurements of mass differences, the Standard Model of particle physics describes them as exactly massless. Additionally, recent measurements from both particle physics…

It is shown how high energy neutrino beams from very distant sources can be utilised to learn about some properties of neutrinos such as lifetimes, mass hierarchy etc. Furthemore, even mixing elements such as U_e3 and the CPV phase in the…

We derive constraints on the relic abundance of a generic particle of mass $\sim~1-10^{14}$ TeV which decays into neutrinos at cosmological epochs, using data from the Fr\'ejus and IMB nucleon decay detectors and the Fly's Eye air shower…
We review bounds on neutrino properties, in particular on their masses, coming mostly from cosmology, and also from astrophysics.
The standard Big-Bang theory predicts a cosmic neutrino background with an average number density of $\sim 100/cm^3$ per flavor. The most promising way of its detection is measuring the feeble ``neutrino wind'' forces exerted on macroscopic…
Relic neutrinos with mass in the range indicated by Super-Kamiokande results if neutrino masses are hierarchial (about 0.07 eV) are many times deemed too light to be cosmologically relevant. Here we remark that these neutrinos may…
Cosmology yields the most restrictive limits on neutrino masses and conversely, massive neutrinos would contribute to the cosmic dark-matter density and would play an important role for the formation of structure in the universe. Neutrino…
