We use Super-K data to place new strong limits on interactions of sub-GeV Dark Matter (DM) with nuclei, that rely on the DM flux inevitably induced by cosmic-ray upscatterings. We derive analogous sensitivities at Hyper-K and DUNE and…

We calculate the incoherent resonant and non-resonant scattering production of sterile neutrinos in the early universe. We find ranges of sterile neutrino masses, vacuum mixing angles, and initial lepton numbers which allow these species to…

A revolution in our understanding of the neutrino sector is underway, driven by observations that are interpreted in terms of changes in neutrino flavors as they propagate. Since neutrino oscillations occur only if neutrinos are massive,…

Neutrino oscillations change when in media in comparison to vacuum oscillations due to the scattering of neutrinos on matter constituents, electrons particularly. This can be easily described by introducing new effective matter mixing…

We present a supersymmetric model of dark energy from Mass Varying Neutrinos which is stable against radiative corrections to masses and couplings, and free of dynamical instabilities. This is the only such model of dark energy involving…

A novel mechanism of boosting dark matter by cosmic neutrinos is proposed. The new mechanism is so significant that the arriving flux of dark matter in the mass window $1~{\rm keV} \lesssim m_{\rm DM} \lesssim 1~{\rm MeV}$ on Earth can be…

We describe two new generation mechanisms for Dark Matter composed of sterile neutrinos with ${\cal O}(1)$ keV mass. The model contains a light scalar field which coherently oscillates in the early Universe and modulates the Majorana mass…

We investigate observable cosmological aspects of sterile neutrino dark matter produced via the freeze-in mechanism. The study is performed in a framework that admits many cosmologically interesting variations: high temperature production…

Well known scaling laws among the structural properties of the dark and the luminous matter in disc systems are too complex to be arisen by two inert components that just share the same gravitational field. This brings us to critically…

In this paper, a cosmological model is considered, in which dark matter is emitted by T-symmetric quasi-black holes distributed over galaxies. Low energy photons and neutrinos are taken as candidates for dark matter particles. Photon case…

Dark matter (DM) and neutrinos are the two most compelling pieces of evidence of new physics beyond the Standard Model of Particle Physics but these are often treated as belonging to two different sectors. Yet DM-neutrino interactions are…

In this work we analyse the ultimate sensitivity of dark matter direct detection experiments, the "neutrino-floor", in the presence of anomalous sources of dark radiation in form of SM or semi-sterile neutrinos. This flux-component is…

Neutrinos are the Standard Model (SM) particles which we understand the least, often due to how weakly they interact with the other SM particles. Beyond this, very little is known about interactions among the neutrinos, i.e., their…
