We discuss a modified gravity model which fits cosmological observations at a level statistically indistinguishable from $\Lambda$CDM and at the same time predicts very large deviations from General Relativity (GR) in the propagation of…
A new era in particle physics is being spurred on by new data from the Large Hadron Collider. Non-vanishing neutrino masses represent firm observational evidence of new physics beyond the Standard Model. An extension of the latter, based on…
