Title Neutrino cosmology and Planck Type Journal Article
Year 2014 Publication (up) New Journal of Physics Abbreviated Journal New J. Phys.
Volume 16 Issue Pages 065002 - 24pp
Keywords neutrino masses; cosmology; dark matter
Abstract Relic neutrinos play an important role in the evolution of the Universe, modifying some of the cosmological observables. We summarize the main aspects of cosmological neutrinos and describe how the precision of present cosmological data can be used to learn about neutrino properties. In particular, we discuss how cosmology provides information on the absolute scale of neutrino masses, complementary to beta decay and neutrinoless double-beta decay experiments. We explain why the combination of Planck temperature data with measurements of the baryon acoustic oscillation angular scale provides a strong bound on the sum of neutrino masses, 0.23 eV at the 95% confidence level, while the lensing potential spectrum and the cluster mass function measured by Planck are compatible with larger values. We also review the constraints from current data on other neutrino properties. Finally, we describe the very good perspectives from future cosmological measurements, which are expected to be sensitive to neutrino masses close to the minimum values guaranteed by flavour oscillations.

Title Electroweak breaking and neutrino mass: `invisible' Higgs decays at the LHC (type II seesaw) Type Journal Article
Year 2016 Publication (up) New Journal of Physics Abbreviated Journal New J. Phys.
Volume 18 Issue Pages 033033 - 21pp
Keywords neutrino mass; invisible Higgs decays; Higgs physics
Abstract Neutrino mass generation through the Higgs mechanism not only suggests the need to reconsider the physics of electroweak symmetry breaking from a new perspective, but also provides a new theoretically consistent and experimentally viable paradigm. We illustrate this by describing the main features of the electroweak symmetry breaking sector of the simplest type-II seesaw model with spontaneous breaking of lepton number. After reviewing the relevant `theoretical' and astrophysical restrictions on the Higgs sector, we perform an analysis of the sensitivities of Higgs Boson searches at the ongoing ATLAS and CMS experiments at the LHC, including not only the new contributions to the decay channels present in the standard model (SM) but also genuinely non-SM Higgs Boson decays, such as `invisible' Higgs Boson decays to majorons. We find sensitivities that are likely to be reached at the upcoming run of the experiments.

Title Probing CP violation with non-unitary mixing in long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments: DUNE as a case study Type Journal Article
Year 2017 Publication (up) New Journal of Physics Abbreviated Journal New J. Phys.
Volume 19 Issue Pages 093005 - 14pp
Keywords neutrino masses and mixings; neutrino oscillations; neutrino interactions
Abstract When neutrino masses arise from the exchange of neutral heavy leptons, as in most seesaw schemes, the effective lepton mixing matrix N describing neutrino propagation is non-unitary, hence neutrinos are not exactly orthonormal. New CP violation phases appear in N that could be confused with the standard phase delta(CP) characterizing the three neutrino paradigm. We study the potential of the long-baseline neutrino experiment DUNE in probing CP violation induced by the standard CP phase in the presence of non-unitarity. In order to accomplish this we develop our previous formalism, so as to take into account the neutrino interactions with the medium, important in long baseline experiments such as DUNE. We find that the expected CP sensitivity of DUNE is somewhat degraded with respect to that characterizing the standard unitary case. However the effect is weaker than might have been expected thanks mainly to the wide neutrino beam. We also investigate the sensitivity of DUNE to the parameters characterizing non-unitarity. In this case we find that there is no improvement expected with respect to the current situation, unless the near detector setup is revamped.

Title Trap-assisted decay spectroscopy with ISOLTRAP Type Journal Article
Year 2012 Publication (up) Nuclear Instruments & Methods in Physics Research A Abbreviated Journal Nucl. Instrum. Methods Phys. Res. A
Volume 689 Issue Pages 102-107
Keywords Penning trap mass spectrometers; Trap-assisted decay spectroscopy; Studies at ISOL-type facilities
Abstract Penning traps are excellent high-precision mass spectrometers for radionuclides. The high-resolving power used for cleaning isobaric and even isomeric contaminants can be exploited to improve decay-spectroscopy studies by delivering purified samples. An apparatus allowing trap-assisted decay spectroscopy has been coupled to the ISOLTRAP mass spectrometer at ISOLDE/CERN. The results from studies with stable and radioactive ions show that the setup can be used to perform decay studies on purified short-lived nuclides and to assist mass measurements.

Title Masses of short-lived Sc-49, Sc-50, As-70, Br-73 and stable Hg-196 nuclides Type Journal Article
Year 2020 Publication (up) Nuclear Physics A Abbreviated Journal Nucl. Phys. A
Volume 1002 Issue Pages 121990 - 15pp
Keywords ISOLTRAP; Mass measurements; Atomic mass evaluation; Multi-reflection time-of-flight; Penning trap mass spectrometry
Abstract Mass measurements of Sc-49,Sc-50, As-70, Br-73 and Hg-196 nuclides produced at CERN's radioactive-ion beam facility ISOLDE are presented. The measurements were performed at the ISOLTRAP mass spectrometer by use of the multi-reflection time-of-flight and the Penning-trap mass spectrometry techniques. The new results agree well with previously known literature values. The mass accuracy for all cases has been improved.
