Gravity-induced non-Gaussianity in the large-scale structure of the Universe, characterised by higher-order statistics such as the bispectrum (three-point cumulant), is expected to contain rich cosmological information. A measurement of the…
A small deviation from scale invariance in the form of oscillations in the primordial correlation spectra has been predicted by various cosmological models. In this paper we review a recently developed method to search for these features in…
Primordial features are one of the most important extensions of the Standard Model of cosmology, providing a wealth of information on the primordial universe, ranging from discrimination between inflation and alternative scenarios, new…

The sensitivity to dark matter signals at neutrino experiments is fundamentally challenged by the neutrino rates, as they leave similar signatures in their detectors. As a way to improve the signal sensitivity, we investigate a dark matter…
We use the "Dark Energy and Massive Neutrino Universe" (DEMNUni) simulations to compare the constraining power of "sufficient statistics" with the standard matter power spectrum on the sum of neutrino masses, $M_\nu \equiv \sum m_\nu$. In…

Cosmological neutrinos have their greatest influence in voids: these are the regions with the highest neutrino to dark matter density ratios. The marked power spectrum can be used to emphasize low density regions over high density regions,…

The forecasted accuracy of upcoming surveys of large-scale structure cannot be achieved without a proper quantification of the error induced by foreground removal (or other systematics like 0-point photometry offset). Because these errors…
